Last week’s question: What does breaking the climate silence mean to you?
It starts with conversation—across generations, in our communities, even when it’s uncomfortable. Turning concern into action. 🌏

Interesting how much LNG chatter suddenly I noticed Shell Oil CEO poured minus 160o water on the size of Asian LNG mkts in a speech in NY. Is BC going to offer outrageous subsidies to keep the scheme afloat?… will Shell proceed with Canada II? Watch is space in 2026. Don’t hold your breath

Rivers Day here in BC, at least the salmon run is strong despite a drought summer. Stamping Falls Prov Park

When will Canada get beyond the monthly payment cost of car buying? My friend, Bill in Kimberley BC, reports that it cost $4.50 in electricity chargers to drive the 400 km from Calgary home to Kimberley. In his Chev Equinox.
$1.13/100 sounds good to me with no tail pipe emissions

Well Cedar LNG approved here in BC. No great surprise, makes clear that CleanBC is a myth. The recently opened LNG Canada is now the largest single point emitter at around Mt4, does not include upstream fugitives from gas production. Cedar will be lower with the use of publicly produced electricity

Looks like the fix is in for a NW oil pipeline… could it have more to do with subsidizing the Canadian steel industry than further subsidizing the tar sands? Who cares how much heavy crude it’s pumping in 10 or 15 years? Specially, if the tax pays pay for it.

The Backtracker is our contribution to the task of ensuring our backtracked view of environmental and climate change realities doesn’t quickly become the new normal, writes Imre Szeman www.nationalobserver.com/2025/06/26/o...
Why we built the Climate Backtracker: Canada’s quiet climate retreat
For Mark Carney, building Canada’s energy sector is likely still going to involve drilling — and a lot of it.

Buildings are already the third-largest source of fossil fuel pollution in Canada and cutting those emissions has proven miserably difficult. New buildings last for decades, so today’s big plans can lock in new carbon emissions for decades.”

So we have a trade war. Should result in a reduction in economic activity and hence lower Nth American emissions of CO2e. Let’s watch

British Columbia, a highly electrified small province in Canada still has significant GHG emissions. The population has grown by nearly 2,000,000 since 1990, so it is logical that emissions have grown. This illustrates even with generous government subsidies how difficult to address our addictions

Thinking about peak oil, which means if the bell curve more or less holds true, that we would be halfway through at the peak.
But this is totally irrelevant. I now realize the amount of pollution from the first half cannot be duplicated by the second half …our GHG levels would become unimaginable

It is so easy for a middle class homeowner guy like me, even in Canada, to install heat pumps, solar panels, and buy a second hand HEV. Not so for a renter

The random dots, of course are huge blobs of tragedy for individuals in South Asia, Europe, Hawaii and this week LA.
In Canada, where I live, it has become quite clear that elected politicians cannot be expected to legislate the changes that I needed to address carbon emissions.

I see that worldwide our carbon emissions in 2024 were somewhere in the vicinity of 37,000,000,000 tons. In 1972 to take a random year they were somewhat less than 20.

David Attenborough is right, “if we continue on our current path, we will face the collapse of everything.” We know what we need to do, it’s the corruption & lies of the fossil fuel companies & our leaders that makes extinction more likely. We need zero emissions within 5yrs!

Where will oil production and hence oil prices go in the next year? is demand flat at 106 miilion barrels/day? Will that grow?
