1. This federal-Alberta pipeline MOU is even worse than I expected. Even before we get to the pipeline:
- exempts AB from net zero electricity reg (AB produces 44% of all electricity-related GHGs in Canada).
- delays methane reg by 5 years (75% redn by 2035 rather than 2030.

While Trump’s goons are desperately trying to criminalize protests, there are ways to protest that don’t involve leaving your house.

Trump can’t make you shop.

Climate change is the most serious problem we face as a species, and ending fossil fuel use is necessary to solve it.

It's time for the world to come to agreement to end fossil fuels.

Remember - the wildfires, the droughts, floods, heatwaves happening across the world are within "safe" climate change (1.2°C warming). We are on course to double that.

No time to waste. #ActOnClimate

1. It's fascinating to see, as you can from the responses to the post below, how many daft things people believe, to justify their continued meat eating. So let's examine a few of the common myths in the following thread. 🧵
For years, there's been a massive over-emphasis on food miles, and a massive under-emphasis on food type.
By far and away the best dietary decision you can make, for environmental, humanitarian and public health purposes, is to cut out animal products.
Remember this, whenever someone says "alternative proteins - yuck!"

There's good reason why the oil and gas industry lobbies so hard for carbon capture - because it's the one 'climate solution' that wouldn't necessarily require shutting down the oil and gas industry

But it doesn't work. They need to be shut down

We have also had GSD for about 3 years now. We don't own a car and do all our grocery shopping and a lot of commuting with this bike! The best purchase and most used item in our household.

It’s also nice to turn heads in traffic with two adults on board! 😀

I've really come to think that many people recoil from climate politics, as they did from Covid politics, not *in spite* of the fact that the problem obviously calls for (can only be solved by) solidarity & cooperation, but *because* of it.
