Elon Musk donated $277 million to Trump so he could steal the federal government’s data, dismantle the nation’s infrastructure, and stop foreign aid from going to nonwhite people. It’s a quid pro quo breathtaking in scope, corruption, and damage, & completely unprecedented in American history.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.

It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

The Liberals won 20 seats in BC in the last election. If Carney colludes with Smith/Moe on an oil pipeline to BC's coast, he can kiss those seats goodbye & any chance of a 2nd term as PM. And he breathes life back into the NDP. Hello Prime Minister Poilievre. #PipelineBan

Said this on the #BBCWorldService this morning. We all - scientists and public - know what the issue is, but the politicians waste time arguing over words.

A climate deal without explicit language calling for a fossil fuel phaseout is like a ceasefire without explicit language calling for a suspension of hostilities.

Nearly every panel I spoke on this year ended with the same question: "What gives you hope?"

My friends, that question expired years ago. (If you need receipts, my book Saving Us is literally a 300-page answer.)

The real question is: How are you PRACTICING hope?

Because Greta is right ..

Misgendering people just because you don't like their opinions only shows how un-creative you are with your insults. If you want to demean someone, spin up your brain and come up with something original, you fucking water chestnut.

Good! It's time we finally phased fossil fuels, once and for all. The faster the better!
Nearly 30 countries refuse to sign a final #COP30 agreement that doesn't include "fossil fuel phase-out," as negotiations head into overtime.
