Carney's abandonment of our 2030 targets is an abandonment our Paris Agreement goal to limit global heating to 1.5C to avoid the worst outcomes. 1.5C required halving emissions by 2030 But the public was encouraged to forget 2030 & focus instead on Net-Zero by 2050. I keep thinking about that now.

Thanks @robb-barnes.bsky.social for this report on the Earth Day press conference where a "diverse group of committed academics, advocates & community leaders" made their case for an Ontario climate plan. For a government supposedly committed to "Protect Ontario," this really should be a no-brainer.

You can’t make this up 🙄 Doug Ford is trying to destroy… local green building policies. 🧵 #GreenSky
Background photo of Ontario. Photo of Doug Ford. “Doug Ford is selling out the climate and our
communities. Again. He's putting corporate profits over our future. Here's how.”
 Red background. “Ford just tabled a bill to kill local green building policies. Ontario cities have worked for years to build up these policies. Today, 15 cities use Green Development Standards to encourage new homes to use clean and efficient heating rather than polluting gas boilers and furnaces. Ford wants to squash them and keep us hooked on fossil fuels.” White background. Photo of money at bottom of image. “Who Actually Wins? Follow the money. Enbridge: Enbridge serves gas to 75% of Ontario residents for home heating. It wants to lock in even more people to be hooked on gas. Big Developers: Ford's buddies save a quick dime by avoiding modern tech like heat pumps, leaving you with the bill later.”Red background. Cutout image of a high rise apartment building in bottom right corner. “Buildings are Ontario's #3 polluter. We need climate action. But if this bill passes, new homes will needlessly pump out more pollution and add to Ontario's emissions when we desperately need to cut them. We can't build a climate-safe future if we keep building like it's 1990.”
