Iceland has designated the potential collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) a national security concern and an existential threat.

Yet still fossil fuel usage continues to grow, and they barely agreed to *name* the problem at #COP30.

We are just going to keep smashing apart the foundations of the modern world until we feel like we imagined we would have felt in 1950 again, and we don't care how many people we kill or how much value we destroy to do it.

A bad day for Canada, and therefore the world.

Ontario (population 16 million, 40% of the country) has passed new legislation prohibiting bike lanes that take a lane from cars.

An escalation from Bill 212, which required municipalities to get approval.
A sad day for cyclists. Bill 60 - which prohibits the conversion of motor vehicle lanes to bike lanes (or any other prescribed purpose) - has passed Third Reading this morning which will kill various cycling projects in Toronto & across Ontario. #shame #BikeTO #BikeSky #TOpoli #ONpoli #VisionZero

This is an incredibly important graph and post which a large part of the climate science community is intentionally ignoring and trying to hide.

Our climate is in a much more dangerous state than main stream climate scientists are willing to acknowledge.

Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with:

-No casus belli
-No authorization from Congress
-No allies or international support
-No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela
-No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout

You have to keep giving money to avoid collapse and if there’s collapse you have to give more money. It’s called the free market.

For anyone who doesn't know how dangerous it would be to allow tankers carrying bitumen crude in this part of the west coast.

Carney better not move forward with this madness.

Next… education on #Canadian #tankerban on the West Coast and the reasons for this ban. This is especially for the “Andrew Scheers” of the world.

Bill 60 is open season on renters.

It gives corporate landlords more power to hike rents, evict tenants, and squeeze families who are already stretched thin, all while Ontario is dead last in home-building.

Sharon Wilson and Justin Mikulka work for a small nonprofit named Oilfield Witness that documents methane released from oil and gas infrastructure.

Many of these methane plumes are not leaks: “Those are intentional releases to protect the equipment and maintain operation,” Wilson said.

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric
