“The climate alarm is blaring... Around the world, climate-driven disasters are reaching nightmare proportions, as the costs of humanity’s addiction to burning coal, oil and gas keep spiraling upwards." UN climate chief Simon Stiell #cdnpoli #bcpoli #yyj www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Last November's federal budget said a YCC would commence with the 2026 fiscal year (which started April 1). It was the only climate bright spot in an otherwise dismal budget. We are now more than a quarter into that fiscal year with no YCC program launch and no details have been forthcoming.

Not JUST lies. Organized disinformation. #Wildfires #ClimateChange
Brent Toderian“Claims that wildfires can be prevented by [forest management] are not only inaccurate, but they’re also part of a broader pattern of disinformation in response to climate-fueled extreme weather… deflecting from what experts say is the biggest driver of worsening fires: the rapidly warming climate.”
We have the technology to leave fossil fuels in the past. Less expensive & better in so many ways. Solar. Wind. Batteries. Electric buses. Electric trucks. Electric cars. Electric bikes and bike & roll lanes. Fast electric wheelchairs & mobility scooters too! #climateaction #bcpoli #urbantruth
Europe has the tools to strengthen its energy security, now it must act faster to end fossil fuel dependence. During #EUSEW2026, Svitlana Romanko, Founder of Razom We Stand, called to “stop subsidising fossil fuels” and highlighted Ukraine’s fight to rebuild a resilient, renewable #energy future.
EUSEW 2026: The energy transition is central to Europe’s securityDuring the European Sustainable Energy Week 2026, SolarPower Europe convened policymakers, industry leaders and civil society to explore how accelerating the energy transition can strengthen Europe’s ...sustainable-energy-week.ec.europa.euThis is the #climatecrisis, primarily caused by fossil fuels like oil from Alberta oil sands and fracked gas (LNG) from BC. The good news is that wind and solar and batteries are suddenly far cheaper than fossil fuels... are we smart enough to do the obvious thing? #bcpoli #bcwildfire

These are not just fires. These are not just heatwaves. These are not just smoky skies. These are climate disasters that Big Oil knew decades ago would become more deadly and destructive if we kept burning fossil fuels. Instead of warning the public, Big Oil lied. There must be accountability NOW.
Climate scientists and firefighters have been warning us for decades, and now large fires are merging into megafires... Unfortunately, Canada is following Trump's lead on fossil fuels. @johnvaillant.bsky.social on @democracynow.org youtu.be/EY7U5xdD5x4?... #bcwildfire #wildfire #bcpoli #cdnpoli

"The thing that makes a bike lane “equitable” is that most people can afford a bike even if they can’t afford a car... It turns out the transportation we needed was there all along, just waiting to get better... "E-bikes [are] cutting oil demand by a million barrels a day, probably more than EVs."

Paris has been praised in recent years for their visionary, progressive city-building, but they don’t get nearly enough credit for just being really pragmatic! Everything they’ve been doing is common sense. They’re moving a lot more people with less space while cleaning the air & cooling the city.
"Mark Carney says Canada is suffering effects of #climatecrisis as firefighters battle wildfires across North America." Just kidding, Carney is too busy using our money to make the climate crisis and wildfires worse. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j... #cdnpoli

Reupping this since Europe is now also on fire. These gas export deals are going to get real awkward.
Jimmy ThomsonNot sure Carney's got this whole petropolitics thing down just yet. You don't want to announce your wholehearted embrace of oil and gas immediately before the season now known as "fire season" or your words will be echoing through people's heads while they wheeze through their morning dog walks.

BC Climate Emergency CampaignWe just sent an open letter to Premier Eby & the BC NDP signed by more than a dozen former BC-based NDP MLAs, MPs, Indigenous leaders, labour & community leaders. The letter expresses serious concerns about governmental backsliding on climate action. Read the letter: bit.ly/4vvJHfZ #bcpoli
