Good. I'm all for build Canada but Carney seems to be taking this mandate as carte blanche.

Lol. Going all-in on fossil fuels at the exact moment that the rest of the world other than the US decided that they're not worth the security risks and pollution. It's a way to end up as an impoverished backwater, especially if the public pays for all the pipelines and export terminals

So I'm really hoping he's just bluffing to keep Danielle and here dum dum separatists happy in the short term.

Cuz it's not fuckin happening lmao. Big difference between BC and everyone else is that the indigenous people here never surrendered. Us colonials built a culture beside theirs. We align with their mentality more than the ranchers and everyone else back east.

Assuming there isn't several years of litigation pushing this issue to the next government(s); if Carney/DS tried to force this on BC... There would be physical resistance that would make Fairy Creek look like nothing.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world. About 1C of total warming. Second chart: about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability. Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases. About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
