'Another factor was an upsurge in #wildfires in conditions made hotter and drier by global heating. However, scientists are concerned about a third factor: the possibility that the planet’s carbon sinks are beginning to fail.'

'Several factors contributed to the leap in CO2, including another year of unrelenting fossil fuel burning despite a pledge by the world’s countries in 2023 to "transition away" from coal, oil and gas.'

the warning signs are blaring as tipping points are reached. instead of massive investments into solar and wind energy, carney is spouting bullshit about "decarbonized oil" (isn't a thing) and pushing for lng and dirty crude pipelines... even offering one to the fascists.

Statement from the president of the Parliamentary Press Gallery, on Prime Minister Mark Carney’s trip to Egypt:

“It is unprecedented that Canadian media be entirely excluded from a Canadian prime minister’s foreign trip.”

One foggy morning down by the river 3 years ago.

'Japan sets new record for latest-ever extremely hot day' as Kimotsuki in Kagoshima Prefecture reached 35 C.

'More than 30 locations logged record October highs.'

On #FIPA, Stephen Harper "demonstrated the worst negotiating skills since Neville Chamberlain"; the terms Harper agreed were "unprecedented and would be laughed out of Britain, Brussels, Canberra or Washington". That's totally the guy you want advising your team, right?

For those of us who remember how Harper handled #FIPA -- the secrecy, the unecessary concessions, etc -- Carney's approach to the trade war now makes more sense.

ICYMI like I did: Mark Carney has been consulting with Stephen Harper on negotations with the US. Just a totally normal, non-bananas thing for a Liberal PM to do, right? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The great derangement syndrome. As the world blows past the 1.5 degree red line Trump and Carney talk about reviving Keystone XL.
It won't lower tariffs on wood, furniture, steel, auto.
But it will be a massive carbon bomb to a struggling planet.
My latest.

It's 2025, and here's where we're at: #Ubisoft is afraid to make a Civil War-era video game where you'd play as a former slave fighting enemies including the Ku Klux Klan, for fear of racist right-wing dipshittery.

It’s Canadian Thanksgiving 🦃 this weekend and 1 in 4 Canadian families will not be able to celebrate it because they cannot afford enough food. A quarter of the country is starving under @mark-carney.bsky.social.

Please write in some negative feedback here in this weird government AI boosterism survey. 👇

“People have an instinctive reaction to what feels authentic. We recoil from what feels fake. That’s why human creativity matters (...) AI doesn’t dream. It doesn’t feel. It doesn’t make art. It aggregates it.”

I don't see how the Conservatives can message against this since wealthy Canadians are part of their base that they pander to (along with the Liberals). We need a stronger NDP.

Carney's no dictator. He works for us. He was hired to do a job, based on commitments he made to us. Now, this worker is doing the opposite of what he was hired to do, over and over again. Like any employer, it's our responsibility to get him back on track before the situation becomes unsalvageable.

The oil fields are making record profits, and that money is being siphoned out of Alberta & Canada at an accelerating rate. AB's oil industry scored $250 bln in 2022, while slashing re-investment to 1/3 of 2014 levels. They know the end is coming, and want to leave us holding the bag. No thanks.

If you've read Carney's book "Value(s)", you'll know he's been advocating for a proactive role for governments in the transition away from fossil fuels - incentives, taxes, building charging networks etc - for a long time. It's only since the election that he's tossed his principles out the window.
