Ten years ago @mark-carney.bsky.social delivered his famous Tragedy of the Horizon speech.
He warned our 🚨financial systems were underprepared for what was coming🚨– and decisions made by leaders would shape the scale of the financial fallout from the climate crisis.

BC folks! Outstanding piece here by @iglikaivanova.bsky.social, co-ED of @bcpolicy.bsky.social.

The day it opens, LNG Canada will become B.C.‘s largest point-source emitter of #GHG, while increased gas production across the entire supply chain will also add to B.C.’s emission totals.
This and other LNG projects guarantee B.C. will fail to meet its legislated emission targets. Marc Lee writes.
