  1. The most depressing news of the week, and this decade so far, is the UN's report that leaves no doubt that we will fail to hold global warming below 1.5ºC. But there is also hope, read on.

    The world agreed in 2015 on 1.5ºC, championed, I might add, by a certain Canadian Prime Minister. Now, the best we could hold it to would be 1.8ºC and that would be at breakneck speed.

    That Prime Minister is now hanging out with his kids, his girlfriend, and is generally getting on just fine...while his party oversees what they intend to be the greatest expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure and emissions (LNG and TMX2) in Canadian history.

    Meanwhile the rest of us are left breathing in the smoke and fleeing the fires.

    As a young adult 25 years ago, I thought we had time. I was optimistic. I thought surely we'd make the correction once the every-day consequences started to hit.

    Well here we are, fully in the *beginning* of those consequences, and our governments have never been more committed to being the last one to sell the last drop of oil, coal, or gas.

    No one disputes anymore that we have and are changing the climate.

    The deniers lost.

    But the oil companies are still winning.

    The only way to save ourselves at this time and to have any hope of 1.8ºC or 2ºC or whatever the lowest possible temperature is that we can achieve, is to take the fight to the oil companies directly.

    Physically.

    Economically.

    Until they cannot operate, pollute or continue as going concerns.

    We are all of us feeling the impacts of climate change and what oil companies have done. That means today we have many many more people ready to fight than we ever have before.

    We have to fight because they are already killing us, and because the rest of us must survive.

    We will fight because if we don't, both they, and we, will die on a planet rendered unliveable by our own stupidity and greed.

    So we fight. In every way you can. You fight.

  2. #LNG : Not in Our National Interest National Campaign Launch

    [ We’re in pretty wild times right now. In the midst of global turmoil and another oil war, our Prime Minister Mark Carney is pushing hard to fast-track new fossil fuel megaprojects.

    Foreign investors are pitching LNG exports as an economic cure-all for Canada. But if LNG is such an economic engine, why do they need billions of our public dollars?

    That’s why we’re starting a new national campaign to pressure Prime Minister Carney and his key ministers to stop the government from giving billions more of our taxpayer money to dirty energy megaprojects that mostly benefit foreign billionaires. We want the government to start to fund the clean, renewable economy instead

    You’ll hear from movement leaders and experts to learn why these foreign-owned, high-cost projects will raise energy prices at home and harm Indigenous reconciliation. Showcasing how much better the clean, renewable economy is on every measure.

    We’ll also share details of exciting in-person actions happening across the country for the Week of Action in mid-April. This is our chance to tell the Carney government that Canadians say NO to more free money for big polluters, and YES to funding the clean energy economy.]

  8. "Germany can immediately fix its massive budget gap by eliminating more than €17 billion in tax breaks and benefits mainly for the auto sector, according to the nation’s environmental agency"

  9. "Es ist doch verrückt: Wir geben einerseits Gas in Richtung Klimaneutralität, leisten teilweise hohe Subventionen.

    Anderseits ziehen wir die Handbremse & lassen uns das auch Milliarden kosten.

    Das passt nicht zusammen & ist teuer." - Dirk Messner, @Umweltbundesamt
