Even butterflies are losing their colours as forests are replaced by monocultures.

Without protection for native habitats, the most vibrant species could vanish.

It is not too late. In forests allowed to recover, colour and life return.

As forests are cut down, butterflies are losing their colours

The insects’ brilliant hues evolved in lush ecosystems to help them survive. Now they are becoming more muted to adapt to degraded landscapes – and they are not the only things dulling down

What Shell’s CEO fails to realize is when he and the rest of the fossil fuel cartel made the US government throw out climate rules, he threw out ECONOMIC rules, too. Devaluing Shell’s “superior” LNG supply into a crashing market.

Confirmed by MANY sources👇, the fossil fuel bros show that you can open up land for coal development but those lands weren’t open for a reason: there is no coal worth developing.

Trump and the oil bros are con artists. Period.

“

Confirms this report is accurate, new land sales have been cancelled because they are not real opportunities.

I wish my former friends & colleagues would do the same. I think on key moments like this👇,
Rachel Notley (& me) being had by CNRL CEO Murray Edwards (2nd from the left back row). The “grand bargain” came with the promise of an emissions cap & TIER pricing both of which have been actively undermined

2015 press conference on climate and the announcement of TMX. Note: CNRL CEO Murray Edwards, 2nd from the left back row.

As soon as TMX was online the pathways alliance says no thx to the emissions cap.

The moment TIER pricing was to be meaningful, the GOA cancels it.

He was blowing smoke 💯 but it made me realize the government doesn’t even try to 👀 thru industry bullshit.
