Classic Canada to announce a new major fossil fuel project in the midst of the UN climate talks while “affirming” that it’s still “committed” to climate targets it’s not going to meet because of said fossil projects. You gotta laugh to keep from crying at this point www.thestar.com/politics/fed...
Mines, hydro project and LNG facility expected to make Mark Carney’s list of major projects
Prime Minister Mark Carney is set to refer them to Major Projects Office on Thursday, according to a list obtained by the Star.

Türkiye and Australia are battling to host next year's climate talks here at #COP30, but their plans for accelerating action are MIA from their pitches! In @climatechangenews.com, I argue climate credentials should be the basis for deciding who hosts #COP31 www.climatechangenews.com/2025/11/11/c...
Climate is MIA in Australia and Türkiye’s bids to host COP31
Neither Australia or Türkiye have set out how they would use their COP31 presidency to accelerate climate action

PIPELINES ARE SO BORING
Can a Canadian leader please come up with some better ideas for prosperity? @mark-carney.bsky.social Trudeau already bought a pipeline, and instead of bringing prosperity, it’s costing us billions in taxpayer subsidies every year. Come on www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

Insiders say Mark Carney and Donald Trump discussed reviving Keystone oil pipeline
The official said Trump was receptive to the pipeline as the leaders spoke about possible energy-sector co-operation between Canada and the U.S.

And why, dear G7 leaders, do you think that "the world has experienced record-breaking wildfires across every forested continent over the past decade"? Maybe a little thing you used to call clim*te ch*ange before it became the crisis that dare not speak its name? www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/stat...

In case anyone is wondering, “decarbonized oil and gas” does not exist, is a complete contradiction in terms, and a dangerous lie that Canadian government after Canadian government has tried to spin under the spell of industry lobbying. How disappointing.

Solar energy has consistently been underestimated.
Today, it adds more capacity/yr to global grid than any other source in history.
If trend continues, solar will deliver more electricity generation/yr than any technology before it.
