We must slash emissions by half by 2030 and hit net-zero by 2050 to prevent extreme weather, displacement, and economic ruin. The climate crisis is urgent. Support Democrats to lead the charge for bold environmental action now.

I’ve known many other defense secretaries, starting with Cap Weinberger, who served as defense secretary under Reagan. I can say without fear of contradiction that Pete Hegseth is the stupidest and least qualified of them all. He is a danger to the entire world. He must be impeached.

Andy Burnham: UK must fully commit to reaching net zero by 2050
Exclusive: PM, who is facing pressure over whether to approve North Sea oil and gasfields, makes strongest comments yet on issue * British people understand the climate crisis threat. Today I’m empowering them to tackle it * UK politics live – latest updates The UK must fully commit to reaching net zero by 2050, Andy Burnham has argued in his strongest comments yet on the issue, saying it is no longer possible for Britons to believe they are not already affected by a changing climate. Writing for the Guardian about new plans for a mass of community-led local green energy projects, the prime minister said the UK must “believe in itself”, and set out his determination to reach net zero targets, which have been rejected by the Conservatives and Reform UK.

This is pretty accurate; it's like when a spouse is caught cheating; the trust is broken and gone forever. This is why so many Canadians are now DONE with America; actively avoiding buying American product etc. And it's ALL Donald Trump's fault, every bit of it. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Most governments find the loss of entire world regions to uninhabitable climate scenarios and the untold suffering of humans - and animals - easier to imagine, than the transition away from oil and gas. As Amitav Gosh said, the climate crisis is a crisis of our imagination.

With the greatest of respect to @kevincarmichael.bsky.social, Justin Trudeau bent over backwards for Alberta, and burned a metric tonne of political capital to build them a pipeline (to say nothing of orphan well funds, etc), all of which earned him nothing but new invented grievances in return.
The backtracking on climate policy can’t have been easy for Carney, who served the UN as a special envoy on climate action and finance not so long ago. Activists will accuse him of abandoning the cause, and they will have a point. But the shift is more a reminder that governing Canada requires compromise. It’s something the political sphere has been lacking for a couple of decades. 
The ideologically oriented governments of Stephen Harper and Justin Trudeau tended to insist on doing things their way. They got away with it because the political class learned that elections could be won by efficiently mining thin veins of support, rather than trying to win in as many places as possible. The unintended consequence was polarization.
