Cycling is ten times more important than electric cars for reaching net‑zero cities
I do believe it's important to replace as many gasoline-powered cars with EVs, but as the article says, that effort alone would not be "good enough." Reducing car travels is crucial in achieving net-zero cities in a timely fashion.

One of the many problems with “access journalism” is the selective nature of the communications and topics reported. Will any prominent journalists with access demand and report responses from Trump (or any GOP official) on the #ClimateCrisis www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Time to riot before it is too late. Governments generally won't help us. They're selling out the workersand IV-ing the rich
"if you look at what is happening in financial markets, the only reasonable conclusion to reach is that those trading in them are giving themselves a massive dopamine hit at cost to the rest of the world before the crisis arrives."

This is the reality we must face head-on:
"Climate risk is increasingly expressed through weather and weather risk is rapidly translating into economic risk. [It] is no longer isolated or local. It is now a systemic and global threat that we must face together." Celeste Saulo, Secretary-General WMO

This seems right and might help to boost action.

Katrín Jakobsdóttir (former prime minister of Iceland):
“The climate crisis may not be a pandemic, but it’s still a public health emergency that threatens humanity’s very health and survival. And if we don’t act more quickly and comprehensively, many millions more people could die or face life-changing illness.”

As a child I read a Sci-fi story about two cities, 'Ellay and Denv' who were locked into an eternal battle for war, which had gone back generations...

In my childhood, an example of basic Christian moral behavior that stuck with me was this: feed hungry people. This basic lesson in Christian morality led me to get involved in the #ClimateCrisis—I almost immediately realized that messing with the earth climates would lead to an inability to feed the hungry people of the world.
Trump’s and Netanyahu’s immoral war with Iran (and Lebanon) is accelerating our inability to feed hungry people. Agricultural bodies, including the International Grains Council, are already cutting their forecasts for the next harvests because fertilizers made from petroleum aren’t getting through the Strait of Hormuz. And the United Nations, which is trying to negotiate shipping access for fertilizer through the Gulf, has sounded the alarm over food security in developing nations.

British Columbia Premier David Eby says projects should not have priority because a premier threatens to leave the country. He wants Ottawa to work as closely with BC on its projects as it's doing for Alberta's proposed pipeline, which lacks a proponent or a route. Canadian PM Mark Carney announced today Alberta's bitumen pipeline-to-Asian-markets is moving forward and could be designated a project of national interest by Oct 1.
-
Carney's proposal removes impact assessments on interprovincial pipelines, allows construction to begin before impact decisions are made, makes it easier to destroy fish habitats, and exempts select projects from the Species at Risk Act.
Public comments are open until June 7:

“The only thing happening faster than the federal rollback of climate policies is the global renewable energy revolution that will turn all of these concessions to Big Oil into a massive lost opportunity to build a better, safer Canada. A greener world is a safer and more affordable world, so let’s not confuse what is good for oil companies with what is good for regular people.”

Today is Endangered Species Day, which seems a good day to note the Prime Minister wants to grant himself the authority to force through fossil fuel projects, even if entire species go extinct as a consequence.

"It's a betrayal of the country. It'll let the province causing the most climate damage pay peanuts for its pollution. There's clearly only one province in PM Carney’s Canada – it’s Alberta, and it gets a free pass while the rest of Canada suffers the consequences." – WCEL Lawyer Anna Johnston

There's a meme on FB that asks why no billionaire has funded the halting or reversal of climate change, just so people would revere them for literally saving humanity. This was my response:
Partly it involves a process change to everything we do, so it doesn't happen on a specific day and so there is no glory, like saving us from an asteroid that's about to destroy Earth. There is no definitive problem that on a certain day you can say "see, it's done".
Partly because the solutions involve changing how everything on the planet operates in a way that many people will regard as adverse, because even though we talk about caring about our kids, people are really a lot in it for themselves and if it comes down to them having a good time or leaving a livable world for their kids, they're going to have a good time and pretend to hope their kids will survive it.
Partly it's that there's good money in pretending it's not a big deal, and these are people who like to use money as their signal of goodness. To the extent they pretend they care about humanity, in many cases they're just trying to make a profit on the fact that others do.
Partly it's that the solution is actually something that even billionaires don't have enough to just buy outright overnight.
Partly it's that it cuts into their lifestyles, in many cases, because the are some of the most planet-intensive people in existence. One of the things we need to do in order to survive as a species is stop being consumption-oriented and they are the poster-children for consumption.
Partly it's that they do not perceive that the threat is to all of humanity, only to some of it, and they think the people who escape it will be the clever ones, who they imagine are the ones with money. They think that by becoming rich, they have avoided it, and that they are humanity's best chance.
Partly it's that they have a bunker in their basement that is prepper-stocked with what they imagine is everything they need and they just don't care about others.
Partly it's that although we revere them as super-smart for getting to where they are, we over-attribute intelligence and under-attribute sociopathy. So, yes, they don't care that much about others, but also they aren't in a lot of cases the smartest among us.
Partly it's that everything else they do they already model as saving humanity in one way or another, so the "high" of having these alleged bragging rights would not last long.
Partly it's that their notion of what "investing" in has nothing to do with outcomes you want to see in the world, and everything to do with what brings monetary return, which steers them in the wrong direction.
Partly they think there are too many people and it's good that most of them will die, so they are doing humanity a favor by culling its numbers. (I'm not going to get into the racial breakdown of the order in which people die, but there's probably a lot to be said there, too.)
Partly they may just do the calculation that there are cheaper ways to get adulation.
