I agree with Greta Thunberg. We “need to act like our house is on fire. Because it is.”
We need to do much more. Let’s start today!
The good news? Nearly all the world’s advanced economies are now *cutting* their emissions, while still growing their economies.
(It had little to do with the Paris agreement per se, though. It was due to better technology.)
The bad news? We need to much more.

Use oil and gas experience in a sustainable job! I love it. Let’s do a lot more district heating with geothermal.
A great example of Canada’s climate innovation ecosystem in action! Homegrown tech, early support from SDTC (may it rest in peace), federal and provincial support to demonstrate, growth capital from Canada Growth Fund to scale 🍁💪🍁
The WSJ reports on the historic news yesterday that Eavor has begun operations of the first commercial-scale multilateral closed loop geotherm power project in the world! It's not every day that a new power tech has its "world's first" moment. Don't miss this www.wsj.com/articles/a-g... 🔌💡

Who is our sustainable jobs minister? Let’s get moving.
Imagine the hole in Alberta’s budget when the price & demand for oil is in long-term decline in 2030s as a result of the energy transition and increased demand for clean energy. Not nostalgia for the past, it’s about winning the future. Just economics, folks.
Alberta faces $6.4-billion deficit as falling oil prices and trade troubles take toll
This year’s budget represents a massive multibillion-dollar swing from an $8.3-billion surplus last year

They were right. 30-50 cm. We got 48 cm. My poor dogs are so confused. In 40 years here that is the most in one snowfall. And early too. Was that climate change?
Get ready for more snow, southern Ontario, with accumulations of 5-15 cm expected for most of the region through Sunday. Expect difficult travel conditions. #ONstorm #ONwx

So many alternatives to fossil fuel use today. I don’t think we will find pipeline investors. We must make sure taxpayers don’t become the big losers. We must not invest.
Canadians need their governments focused on real projects, not a fantasy pipeline with no investors.
BC has billions of dollars in privately led projects that are going to create thousands of jobs and bring prosperity to Canada. We cannot put them at risk.

We put the economy ahead of climate. We know this does not work for the future.
Yes we must support the few Canadians that don’t have what they need to live until next month.
Simultaneously we must make the necessary transition to protect the climate for future generations.

I was in Ottawa at the Citizens Climate Lobby Canada conference! It was great to join with my climate allies and march down Elgin Street with our posters and banners.
📣What do we want?
🗣️The political will for evidence-based policies that would reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by diverting money away from fossil fuels, like industrial carbon pricing, climate-aligned finance, and methane regulations!
📣When do we want it?

CBC tells me that today in 1946 was the drilling at the Leduc oil well in Alberta that started the oil boom. This well is from earlier in 1901 near Waterton Lakes National Park 7 years after the big forest fire there.

I agree with edited headline. Extra gas is bad for the planet. In addition exporting more gas exposes us further to world price. That heat pump is looking like a safer choice.

I agree. We are supposed to talk about carbon capture and feel better about the emissions that we are making instead of actually transforming our economy.
(None of this even addresses the giant elephant in the room that CCS doesn't fucking work)

RAINFALL: Warm air holds more water vapor
SURGE: Warmer water expands, warmer ice melts, sea levels rise

Just started reading about Hurricane Melissa. This picture is from The Guardian. We know that the severity of the storm is increased because of warmer ocean temperatures. We know those temperatures are caused by climate change. We must surely know that we need to reduce fossil fuel use.

The warm ocean brings the benefit of a long summer in Toronto but is not a benefit for all. I don’t know much about aquatic life but I expect that as on land plants and insects survive only within their specific temperature ranges. Warm ocean is not good for all.
For most Canadians, October 2025 points to more sunshine, fewer storms, and less rain than average, but we can't rule out snowfall for some. 🍂❄️
