In discussions outside the climate research community, I find that folks often don't realize or appreciate the permanence, on human time-scales, of today's actions and choices. What we do and choose now is vital because it will determine the future of the climate for centuries.

What's happening in Alberta is even more batshit than I ever thought. Danielle Smith is a dangerous psychopath, and the AB separatist movement largely exists because COVID broke far-right brains, and is led by Christo-fascist religious white nationalists, relying on dark money. 2/n

CEO pay is up 1,316% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 28%. CEOs are now paid 325 TIMES as much as the typical worker in their industry, according to @epi.org Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Linda McQuaig: Carney is using our loathing of Trump to remake Canada in alarming ways
As long as Donald Trump hovers menacingly over the country, Carney has enormous leeway to remake Canada in ways that would — under normal circumstances — alarm many Canadians.

In San Diego they won't even let you cross the street directly from the light rail station to the largest hotel downtown. Instead they force you to cross 3 streets in a semi circle across a total of 17 lanes and in front of 4 potential right turn on reds. Just so cars can make a slightly faster turn

If oil prices remain at current levels for the next 12 months, the Canadian oil industry is on track to make $90bn in profits, which is $60bn more than it would have earned without the war...Applying 15% rate on excess profits of oil industry could generate $9 billion over the next 12 months. ⬇️

Far too absent from public debate is a basic truth: until we actually mobilize to dramatically expedite the transition off fossil fuels, we will never get ahead of the curve. No amount of fire preparation will save us from an escalation in these horrors. sethdklein.substack.com/p/we-mobiliz...

We mobilize to put fires out, but not yet to prevent them
While many leaders are comparing the wildfire crisis to the Second World War, most fail to adopt the real lessons of pre-emptive wartime action.

With a new Prime Minister on the horizon, we have a golden opportunity to rewrite the rules. Now is the time to make our demands heard and force the next leader to clamp down on corporate tax dodging. It’s time Amazon paid their fair share for the services we all rely on:

We pay our dues. They should too.
Amazon made £55 MILLION in profit in the UK last year, but only paid a fraction of what they should in tax. Jeff Bezos is rubbing his hands together, avoiding tax, while we pay our dues. Don't think…
