You left out Wind West, high speed rail, and critical minerals. Why?

Thanks Simon!

I always use "heart".

I agree. But there may be more to this then what it appears to be. doctorclimatechange.com/f/is-isn%E2%...
Is / Isn’t: ‘Decarbonized Oil’
A new phrase has become a central focus of energy and climate policy discourse in Canada: ‘decarbonized oil’.
doctorclimatechange.com

In Canada, political leaders are talking about building large-scale infrastructure projects, including pipelines carrying 'decarbonized oil'. But this is dependent on whether carbon capture and storage can be significantly scaled up beyond where it is now. doctorclimatechange.com/f/is-isn%E2%...

I agree that the new Carney government needs to pick a path, and increasing Canada's capacity to manage wildfires should be part of this. So is enabling us to have better conversations about climate policy. I posted my 5-point wish list a few days ago. doctorclimatechange.com/f/my-climate...

Now that there is a new government in Canada, there is a new opportunity for climate policy. Here is my wish list. doctorclimatechange.com/f/my-climate...

The federal election in Canada will take place on April 28th. Several experts on climate policy have recently offered comparisons of party platforms. I am sharing highlights of these here. doctorclimatechange.com/f/climate-po...

PM Carney only canceled the consumer (retail) price, not the industrial price. I expect this will be an important issue in the upcoming Canadian election.

I hope you're right. But also, there needs to be a discussion about the broader range of climate policies already in place, like critical minerals, and what the options are for these. doctorclimatechange.com/f/the-future...

I agree. But climate policy choices are, and will be, about far more than just carbon prices. doctorclimatechange.com/f/the-future...

Although there is much attention in Canada on the tariff fight with the U.S., climate change isn't going away. There will soon be an election in Canada. I've outlined some climate policy choices. #climatepolicy #climatescience #climate&sustainability doctorclimatechange.com/f/the-future...

With attention focused on the tariff fight with the United States, is it still possible for Canadians to think about climate policy? Climate change isn't going away, and with an election in Canada coming soon, it's time to consider climate policy choices. doctorclimatechange.com/f/the-future...

I use your 3-step model when I speak with high school students.
Why aren’t people making this demand clear?

Around the world, most people are already worried about climate change!

But they:
* don’t understand why it matters to them
* don’t know what to do about it
* are flooded w misinfo that the cure is worse than the disease

That’s why:

There are two realities affecting our conversations about climate change: fossil fuel loyalty, and fossil fuel side effect. Many who recognize the first do so by disrespecting the second. Could we have better conversations if both realities were recognized? doctorclimatechange.com/f/the-two-re...

2024 has been another warmer than average year for our world's climate. Would we have better conversations about climate action if we tried a framing of "climate realism"? doctorclimatechange.com/f/is-isn%E2%...
