#ChooseCanada Buy local, buy Canadian producers and stand together. The Trump regime declared war on us. They have begun with economic warfare & covertly engaged in operations from #AlbertaSeparation to media takeovers to #FluTruxKlan. Beware complicit confederates in 🇨🇦 who seek to break us #cdnpoli

RECORD OCEAN HEAT: On 21 August, global sea-surface temperatures hit their hottest day on record, fuelled by El Niño and the climate crisis. Big polluters must STOP heating and acidifying our living ocean for profit.
Global map of sea-surface temperature anomalies on 21 August 2026. Much of the ocean is warmer than the 1991–2020 average, with the strongest warming, up to 3°C above average, across parts of the North Pacific and North Atlantic. Source: Copernicus Climate Change Service/ECMWF, ERA5.

🚨A new Greenpeace Africa report found that the world’s richest 0.01% are associated with about US$992 billion worth of climate damage in 2022 ALONE through ownership-based #emissions. These are emissions linked to the companies, investments and assets wealthy people own and profit from.

“You said the 2020 election was rigged by either Venezuela or China. When you called that fella in Georgia pleading for 11,780 votes, was that part of the rigging, or part of the 6-year investigation? Just one more thing, sir, who was president while all this rigging took place?”

East Africa's most fragile coastal ecosystems is at risk from fossil fuel greed. The promise of thousands of jobs cannot be used to hide the true cost of this investment; short-term construction jobs while threatening long-term livelihoods in fishing, tourism and small-scale local economies.

While people are choosing between heating and eating, fossil fuel CEOs are counting record profits. They profit from war. They profit from pollution. They profit while communities face floods, fires, #heatwaves, and rising energy costs. Enough.

"This is folly on a globally calamitous scale. (...) Fossil fuels, which were for long so beneficial to humanity, have to be recognised as poisons. And petroleum companies must pay for backtracking on their promises and putting shareholder dividends ahead of planetary health and human wellbeing."

The scientific consensus is that burning fossil fuels drives the climate crisis, yet the world’s biggest oil companies are planning to increase production

When the previous ocean record for June was set in 2023, scientists described the trends as “worrying”, “terrifying” and “bonkers”. This year, temperatures are even higher.

This is absolutely terrifying The Nino 3.4 forecast temperature anomaly mean is now at 4C, when even the biggest historical super ninos have seen less than 3C I really have no idea what this is going to bring over the next 12 months, but it will be very, very, grim
