Actual footage of Canadian policymakers as they grapple with the challenge of global climate change.
Here in Europe, where I live, there's a serious effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In Canada, they're rushing to build new pipelines. What an embarrassment.

Democrats disproportionately rely on corporations to do their messaging. In this case, energy companies. In many other cases, corporate media. It’s delusional.

Petrostates are freaked out by China!
Why?
China is peaking and soon reducing its big coal & oil demand and massively exporting Clean Tech.
So, China is transforming global energy by building a new energy system that uses non-fossil fuels & electrification to replace fossil fuels. #energysky

10 years ago Mark Carney warned about the "existential threat" posed by climate catastrophe and the need to move from fossil fuel burning.
Now he is using Stephen Harper's lines about becoming an "energy super power."
This is a powerful analysis on the MOU.

The Pipeline MOU is a Tragic Failure of Vision
At best, Mark Carney capitulated to Danielle Smith's backward view of the future. At worst, the Prime Minister shares that view

Reminiscent of a wooden warship's cannon balls, far too few people realize just how serious a problem grease is for sewage systems (whether drains in their homes or sewage plants).

(Pat on back: my household lets fats cool/congeal and either puts in trash (BOO!) or composts in our solar cone.)
grease floats.
when it flows in sewage and into our plants, it thickens as temps fall, separating in our settling tanks.
the churning water forms grease globs that build like snowballs, and operators remove them so they don’t clog the process.
listen. don’t pour grease down your drains.
