Our inaugural flagship lecture with @brdemuth.bsky.social was an absolute banger: co-working between humans and dogs, fish who punish humans for their hubris, and the political work of advocating for a transboundary landscape caught in the cross-hairs of US-Canada relations. We all learned so much.

This is HUGE
A court has ruled that TotalEnergies has misled consumers by presenting itself as a “major player in the energy transition”.
It is the first judgement in the world ruling an Oil & Gas major has misled the public by greenwashing its image.

This is a nightmare scenario. Developers and corporations can now basically destroy as much habitat as they'd like as long as they pay fees to offset that destruction. No actual offsetting required (not that that is an acceptable remedy). Just fees.
