“When you consider the ecocide alongside the genocide, you begin to grasp the totality of the Israeli state’s attempt to eliminate both the Palestinians and their homeland.”
Israel’s ecocide in Gaza sends this message: even if we stopped dropping bombs, you couldn’t live here | George Monbiot
Consider the annihilation of agricultural land alongside the genocide – and grasp the chilling totality of this attempt to eliminate all life, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

In September CCL Canada turns 15 years old. We never imagined living through a pandemic and an attack on our right to exist as a nation. Our solution for the climate crisis is democracy which requires a robust media landscape. This is a step in the right direction m.youtube.com/watch?v=N8JP...

“Oil and gas extraction currently contributes only three percent to Canada’s GDP and provides less than one percent of government revenues and jobs.”

Without our continued burning of fossil fuels, the current heat in London & most of the UK would not have been a heatwave: www.worldweatherattribution.org/climate-chan... Heatwaves are dangerous. Drink water, lots of it, stay cool, even if you feel invincible, you're probably not.

Searching for the best question. All good problem-solving begins with a good question.
We don’t have time to guess.
The climate emergency is upon us. Our PM is a climate and finance expert. This question keeps seems close :
Why is Carney building pipelines and believes in the fairytale of CCS?

We have been following the CCS saga in Canada for over a decade. Here is the latest with updates
- CCS impacts on water in Alberta (April 2025)
- Bjorn Lomberg, recently spoke at a Fraser Institute meeting said “It’s not going to happen.”
canada.citizensclimatelobby.org/laser-talk-c...
CCL Canada's Position on Carbon Capture and Sequestration. CCS is not a climate solution. Planning for new fossil fuel infrastructure on the premise GHGs will be reversed by CCS is indefensible.
Given the inequitable and catastrophic impact that exceeding a global temperature rise of 1.5 °C will have on everything and everywhere, planning for any new fossil fuel infrastructure on the premise ...

We stand with the billions not the billionaires.
One would have to save $250,000 a year for 4000 years to become a billionaire.
This level of wealth is a danger to democracies and all human rights.
Just because you can accumulate wealth doesn’t mean you will do the right thing.

The LNG Lie: What Big Oil Doesn’t Want You to Know 👀

Swipe to uncover the truth about Liquefied Natural Gas in Canada.

Background photo of an LNG tanker. Text reads “LNG Misconceptions: Unpacking the lies and the truths.” “It's time to clean up after the lies and misconceptions that the fracked gas (LNG or Liquified Natural Gas) industry emits.” Arrow icon in bottom right corner. Background photo of LNG terminal. Text reads “From spending millions on greenwashing ad campaigns, to having politicians parrot their talking points, it’s been the same spin for decades. Here's our fact-check of some of the LNG industry's favourite talking points.” Arrow icon in bottom right corner. Background photo of fracking wells. Text reads “LNG Industry Lie: "LNG is a clean source of energy." Fact: The fossil gas that is used to create Canadian LNG comes from fracking wells, an extreme form of fossil fuel extraction which poisons water, is linked to local health problems, and causes earthquakes.” Arrow icon in bottom right corner. Background photo of an LNG tanker at an LNG terminal. Text reads “LNG Industry Lie: "LNG is a significant source of tax revenue for Canadian governments." Fact: In Canada, LNG terminals and fracking companies receive significant government fossil fuel subsidies, including: a $5.35 billion package of incentives for the LNG Canada terminal from the Province of B.C. and a $500 million loan from the federal government for the Cedar LNG terminal."

Background photo of an LNG tanker on the horizon. Text reads “LNG Industry Lie: "Many Indigenous communities stand to benefit from LNG production." Fact: LNG is often touted as an example for economic reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples, even though the International Energy Agency 2024 World Energy Outlook has said no new LNG projects are needed to meet global demand. If these projects become stranded assets, participating First Nations will have to live with the abandoned industrial sites on their territories and the debt that comes with them, while the LNG industry will leave town.” Arrow icon in bottom right corner. Background photo of pipelines. Text reads “LNG Industry Lie: "Fast-tracking the approval of new LNG terminals and pipelines will help to fight Trump's tariffs."Fact: Building LNG terminals and pipelines takes many years. For example, LNG Canada - the terminal that is closest to starting operation - has already been under construction for six years. That means that an LNG project approved today is not going to go into operation before Donald Trump leaves office.” Arrow icon in bottom right corner. Black background. Text reads “Don't believe the lies peddled by the LNG industry. LNG is a fracked gas. It's not green, it's not clean and it's far from renewable. Join us in calling out LNG for what it is: a dangerous distraction from real climate solutions like wind and solar.”
