For #Indigenous communities in ‘#Alberta,’ the #OilIndustry has left an ugly stain
Facing #OilSpills, evacuations and #illness — nations downstream of the #OilSands grieve their way of life, as the #corporations polluting their water get richer
By Brandi Morin, December 7, 2023
Excerpt: "The rush of the wind and sprays of water add to the thrill as Jason Castor guides his riverboat through a stretch of #LakeAthabasca near #FortChipewyan, in #Treaty8 territories. If he slows down, his boat could get stuck in the mud or even flip over because the water levels in this spot are remarkably low. He steers around buoys, dodges logs and other debris while accelerating to the mouth of the channel, which he knows should be deep enough to navigate at an average speed.
"While trawling his boat further down the river, Castor points to odd-looking clusters resembling dirty foam floating by.
" 'There’s just a slurry of a foam that looks like #oil or some kind of #chemical in there,' says Castor, a 42-year-old father, construction business owner and member of the #AthabascaChipewyan #FirstNation (#ACFN).
"He’s been a traditional hunter, trapper and fisherman for nearly 20 years and has documented strange changes in the water, the land and animals.
"Something’s going on in the river, he says.
" 'They say that it’s natural, well, I know that that’s not natural because I’ve been on the river my whole life,' he explains as he points to brown and #WhiteFoam, #OilSheens and other discoloured formations floating on the river.
"Nowadays, it’s risky to navigate these waterways because of industrial intakes like the #WACBennettDam to the west in B.C.; the #AlbertaOilSands just up the river and impacts from #ClimateChange.
"The #PeaceAthabascaDelta is the second-largest #freshwater delta in the world.
"The #AthabascaRiver, and the larger delta, also sit atop the world’s largest known reservoir of #CrudeBitumen.
"The industry that has sprung up around it drives Alberta’s and Canada’s economy, employing about 138,000 people. In 2021, crude bitumen production totaled approximately 3.3 million barrels per day. The oil sands energy sector including oil sands, conventional #OilAndGas, mining and quarrying is valued at about $18 billion.
"But while Canada prospers off the oil sands industry, #Indigenous communities downstream are dealing with its #toxic impacts.
"Not only are the water levels fluctuating, but the health of the water flowing through the Athabasca River is jeopardized."

#OnionLake #CreeNation to proceed with its legal challenge of #Alberta sovereignty act
By Lisa Johnson The Canadian Press, May 15, 2025
EDMONTON - "Alberta’s bill lowering the bar for a separation referendum has spurred a #FirstNation to push ahead with a legal challenge against the premier’s flagship sovereignty act.
"Danielle Smith has said her Alberta Sovereignty Within a United Canada Act is needed to push back on what the province believes is unconstitutional federal encroachment into provincial jurisdiction.
"But Onion Lake Cree Nation Chief #HenryLewis said that law has always been about undermining federal authority and asserting provincial control, which goes against his community’s #Treaty6 relationship with the Crown." 'I want to respectfully remind the premier that this land that we stand on today is #Treaty land and is not yours to take or make sweeping decisions about,” he said at a news conference in Edmonton on Thursday.
"He announced the legal challenge is moving forward a day after Smith’s government passed a bill significantly lowering the threshold for citizens to prompt a referendum, including one on seceding from Canada."

Albertans Could Soon Vote on Whether to Separate From Canada. Here’s What to Know
by Chantelle Lee, May 5, 2026
"Many Albertans have slammed the federal Liberal government for blocking #pipeline projects and canceling oil and gas projects. The province’s economy is largely driven by its #OilAndGas extraction, as well as #mining and #quarrying."

Where There Is Salt
An American Company Drilled for #Oil in #Kenya — and Left Behind Soaring #Cancer Rates
Georgia Gee, Nelly Madegwa
April 6 2026"In #Kargi, a remote desert village in the far north of Kenya, cancers of the digestive tract plague the population at unusually high rates. The disease most often attacks the esophagus, though stomach cancer is also common. Some patients think it’s a punishment from God.
"The evidence on the ground suggests it’s more likely from a multinational oil company. In the 1980s, foreign work crews dressed like astronauts descended on the village of Kargi and the surrounding #ChalbiDesert to drill for oil. They spent five unsuccessful years boring nearly a dozen wells thousands of feet into the ground. The men were from #Amoco, an American oil company now owned by #BP."The crews then drove off their bulldozers, packed up their protective equipment, and vanished. One of the only traces to mark their presence was a dry white substance scattered on the ground, close to the water wells used by residents and their livestock."

Satellite Images Reveal #MegaLeaks of Potent Greenhouse Gas
UCLA's #StopMethaneProject ranked the 25 oil and gas sites with the largest methane emissions rates worldwide.
By Ellyn Lapointe
Published March 18, 2026"Researchers with the Stop Methane Project at the University of California, Los Angeles, used data from #CarbonMapper—a non-profit that uses remote sensing technology to pinpoint and quantify methane emissions—to rank these mega-leaks. They’re spread across a small handful of countries, including the #US, with the majority in #Turkmenistan. A whopping 15 of the 25 largest leaks are concentrated in this #authoritarian state."

Feds Are Downplaying #MethaneLeaks in America’s Biggest #OilField, Satellite Data Suggests
A report found #MethaneEmissions in the #PermianBasin to be nearly four times higher than #EPA estimates. A senator wants an explanation.
By Ellyn Lapointe
Published March 20, 2026"#FossilFuel extraction is a known source of #methane leaks, releasing large amounts of this potent #GreenhouseGas into the atmosphere. Yet the Environmental Protection Agency appears to be drastically underreporting emissions from the nation’s largest oil-producing region.
"Nearly half of U.S. oil comes from the Permian Basin in West #Texas and southeastern #NewMexico. The region generates more than $100 billion annually for the U.S. economy, and apparently, a whole lot of methane, too. A recent report from #MethaneSAT—a methane-sensing satellite that observed Earth from March 2024 to June 2025—found emissions from the Permian Basin to be nearly four times higher than the EPA’s official estimates."

Published March 20, 2026"#FossilFuel extraction is a known source of #methane leaks, releasing large amounts of this potent #GreenhouseGas into the atmosphere. Yet the Environmental Protection Agency appears to be drastically underreporting emissions from the nation’s largest oil-producing region.
"Nearly half of U.S. oil comes from the Permian Basin in West #Texas and southeastern #NewMexico. The region generates more than $100 billion annually for the U.S. economy, and apparently, a whole lot of methane, too. A recent report from #MethaneSAT—a methane-sensing satellite that observed Earth from March 2024 to June 2025—found emissions from the Permian Basin to be nearly four times higher than the EPA’s official estimates."

"Results from the $3.25 million project, led by a team of university researchers and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, provided officials for the first time with a more complete picture of the invisible pollutant emitted from well pads. #FossilFuel extraction is the state’s second-largest source of methane pollution, which has a global warming potential roughly 80 times that of carbon dioxide during a 20-year period."

#Iran war #EnergyCrisis is a #renewable energy wake-up call
By Aniruddha Ghosal, March 20, 2026
HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — "The war in Iran is exposing the world’s reliance on fragile #FossilFuel routes, lending urgency to calls for hastening the shift to renewable energy.
Fighting has all but halted oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow waterway that carries about a fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas, or LNG. The disruption has jolted energy markets, pushing up prices and straining import-dependent economies.
Asia, where most of the oil was headed, has been hit hardest, but the disruptions also are a strain for Europe, where policymakers are looking for ways to cut energy demand, and for Africa, which is bracing for rising fuel costs and inflation.
Unlike during previous oil shocks, renewable power is now competitive with fossil fuels in many places. More than 90% of new renewable power projects worldwide in 2024 were cheaper than fossil-fuel alternatives, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency."

US weather to go nuts with blizzard, polar vortex, heat dome, atmospheric river all at once
By SETH BORENSTEIN
Updated 12:03 AM EDT, March 13, 2026"Nearly every part of the United States is getting walloped by wild weather or just about to be.
"Days of downpours have begun in #Hawaii. The #Southwest will soon bake with day after day of record 100-degree-plus (38 Celsius-plus) #heat. Two storms will dump snow by the foot over northern #GreatLakes states. And the dreaded #PolarVortex will again invade the Midwest and East with soul-crushing #ArcticChill.
"This forecast of extremes comes as weather whiplash already hit much of the East. On Wednesday, Washington, D.C. residents walked around in shorts in record-breaking 86 degrees Fahrenheit (about 30 Celsius). On Thursday, it snowed.
" 'All of the country, even if you’re not necessarily seeing extremes, are going to see generally changing from cold to warm, or warm to cold to warm,' said meteorologist Marc Chenard of the weather service’s Weather Prediction Center in Maryland.
"Former National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration chief scientist Ryan Maue said he expects extreme weather in all 50 states."

#EnvironmentalGroups sue #Trump’s #EPA over repeal of landmark #climate finding
Lawsuit from #health and #EnvironmentalJustice groups challenges the EPA’s rollback of the ‘endangerment finding’
Dharna Noor
Wed 18 Feb 2026 07.10 EST"More than a dozen health and environmental justice non-profits have sued the Environmental Protection Agency over its revocation of the legal determination that underpins US federal climate regulations.
"Filed in Washington DC circuit court, the lawsuit challenges the EPA’s rollback of the '#EndangermentFinding', which states that the buildup of heat-trapping #pollution in the atmosphere endangers #PublicHealth and welfare and has allowed the EPA to limit those emissions from #vehicles, #PowerPlants and other #industrial sources since 2009. The rollback was widely seen as a major setback to US efforts to combat the #ClimateCrisis.
"The suit was brought by the American Public Health Association [#APHA], #AmericanLungAssociation, the #CenterForBiologicalDiversity, the #EnvironmentalDefenseFund, the #NaturalResourcesDefenseCouncil [#NRDC], the #SierraClub and 11 other public health and environmental organizations. The lawsuit was filed by green legal organizations #CleanAirTaskForce and #Earthjustice and it names the EPA and the agency’s administrator, #LeeZeldin, as defendants.
" 'EPA’s repeal of the endangerment finding and #safeguards to limit vehicle emissions marks a complete dereliction of the agency’s mission to protect people’s health and its legal obligation under the #CleanAirAct,' said #GretchenGoldman, president and CEO at the #UnionOfConcernedScientists, another one of the groups behind the lawsuit. 'This shameful and dangerous action by the Trump administration and EPA Administrator Zeldin is rooted in falsehoods not facts and is at complete odds with the public interest and the best available science.'

A timely post... via #CensoredNews. The statement is from 1984, but even more relevant today!
INDIGENOUS SOLUTION TO THE WORLD’S PROBLEMS.
Posted on February 15, 2026 by Kan1enkehaka
THIS IS INDIAN CRISIS SURVIVAL BULLETIN NO. 7 OF APRIL 1984
OF MOHAWK VISIONARY THE LATE KARONIAKTAJEH
REPUBLISHED BY MOHAWK NATION NEWS ON FEB. 14, 2026
AS A VALENTINE PRESENT TO THE WORLD.
Excerpt: "White man says his is a government of the majority. It has also been said that that the majority of the people of the world are fools and that the wise and intelligent are in the minority. This makes the majority government a government of fools. But sez you: The majority of the world is controlled by a minority of oppressive exploiters which makes the majority government actually a minority government, and so it’s a government of both fools and the clever #exploiters with the latter running the show.
"The standing army is the arm of the government and trained to protect and defend the system, not the people. The government uses the people, though the army are of the people. The government creates laws designed to defend and protect the government from the people and the police departments are established to enforce the laws, again using some of the people whom they first alienate by indoctrination from the other people in order to put a division into the system. The exploited people are required to pay enormous taxes to pay the costs of these institutions, the government, the standing army and the sitting police departments."

From pro-climate Republican to ‘one of the #Trump disruptors’
#EPA Administrator #LeeZeldin's attacks on his agency's spending and regulations have made him a rising star in the Trump Cabinet, but left some former colleagues mystified.
By Hannah Northey, Emily Ngo, Josh Siegel and Miranda Willson
04/06/2025Excerpt: "[O]thers who have known Zeldin wonder what happened to the middle-of-the-road lawmaker they once knew, who acknowledged that humans were warming the Earth and bucked Trump’s first administration on offshore oil drilling.
" 'He’s really turned out to be a chameleon in the political landscape,' said Adrienne Esposito, executive director of Citizens Campaign for the Environment, who is based in Zeldin’s former congressional district. 'He’s always had higher political aspirations, and I believe he has his eyes set on the White House.”
"Green groups on the island say they feel betrayed by the slash-and-burn style Zeldin is bringing to EPA. Sea-level rise poses a serious threat to the low-lying coastal region he calls home, and he had expressed support over the years for shifting to #RenewableEnergy — in contrast to Trump’s pro-#FossilFuel agenda. As a lawmaker, he belonged to the bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus and the Conservative Climate Caucus, two blocs that recognize the need to address #GlobalWarming."
