It’s infuriating to me that I need to evaluate media to determine whether it’s AI generated now. The great “time saver” technology wastes incalculable time and energy for people who want to retain their grasp on reality

Mark Carney has had to 'step forward and backwards and it all sort of cancels out' headspace on climate for quite some time.

It's the logic of carbon offsetting: if you operate a coal plant, but you also build some renewable energy, the latter cancels out the former 🫠

Every presenter giving a talk with AI generated images.
Every person suggesting using AI to generate survey questions in a discussion.
Every person pulling up ChatGPT to come up with "suggestions" in workshops.
Every academic using it to review papers.

I think less of all of them.
I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.

This is the power of vaccines.

The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.

Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

Une décision qui passera très mal au tribunal de l’histoire

Il est faux de penser que ça ne nous arrivera pas au Québec. Carney vient de se donner une méchante marge de manœuvre et de signer un désengagement majeur dans la lutte aux changements climatiques.

Le gouvernement Carney s’entend aussi avec l’Alberta pour oublier son projet de plafonner les GES des énergies fossiles.

Mentir au sujet de l'absence de consultations, un modus operandi de l'administration Martinez Ferrada?

Ça commence à ressembler à un pattern: remettre en question des projets de sécurisation des déplacements en prétextant un soi-disant manque de consultation, alors qu'il y en a eu pendant 2-3 ans.

This is the Douglas Channel where Danielle Smith expects massive oil tankers to navigate oil safely from Kitimat to markets in Asia.
This is also where even ferries run aground in shallow water and high windspeeds FFS.
This is why we have a BC moratorium on oil tanker traffic.

1. This federal-Alberta pipeline MOU is even worse than I expected. Even before we get to the pipeline:
- exempts AB from net zero electricity reg (AB produces 44% of all electricity-related GHGs in Canada).
- delays methane reg by 5 years (75% redn by 2035 rather than 2030.

1/ Mark Carney has betrayed all of us by making a pipeline pact with Danielle Smith. A real nation-building project would expand the renewable energy of the future while creating thousands of jobs - powerlines not pipelines.

This is craven and beyond contempt. There's no justification. Carney is using the perceived threats from the US to justify slashing commitments, checks, and balances as they pertain to environment, labour, and basically everything else.

This is a corporate power grab and an attack on everyone.

The MOU states a new “bitumen pipeline to Asian markets” is a priority for Canada, and that if a new pipeline is ultimately approved under the Building Canada Act, the federal government will exempt it from the oil tanker moratorium.
