Why was 'incredible' giant cedar cut down, despite B.C.'s big-tree protection law? | CBC News
Conservationists are questioning why an old-growth yellow cedar tree with a diameter that should have ensured its protection and a buffer area around it under provincial law was logged.

The new federal-Alberta pipeline MOU threatens B.C.’s coast and climate progress. This move goes without the consent of Coastal First Nations, B.C. and all who want meaningful climate action. Pipelines belong in the past — not our future.

As our Senior Science Advisor Jens Wieting points out in this latest CBC article, B.C.’s CleanBC review shows LNG expansion undermines real climate action. It’s time to strengthen B.C.’s emission reduction plan and invest in real climate solutions.

Energy use "in Asia and Europe is shifting to renewables that are cheaper than LNG" @marclee.bsky.social.

Losing money exporting a fossil fuel that is as bad for the climate as coal is a fail on so many levels. Solar and wind are the future of energy, not fracked gas. #bcpoli

The Ottawa-Alberta pipeline agreement signed this morning should be seen for what it really is — an attempt to spin a narrative for a pipeline with no route, no proponent and no support from Coastal First Nations or the B.C. government.

The #CleanBC review shows that the B.C. gov has acted with one hand to reduce emissions from buildings, from transportation, from other industries, & then acted with the other hand to increase emissions by allowing a massive expansion of #LNG production & #fracking #bcpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

A new independent report found that, despite provincial commitments to protect old growth and change course in forest stewardship, endangered forests in BC are now even closer to the brink.
