Over 40% of global shipping by volume exists to move fossil fuels from one place to another. A huge share of the world's maritime infrastructure has been built around a system that is going to change dramatically as renewable energy and electrification displace fossil fuels.

‼️New polling shows people in BC: • worry about climate change (78%) • want the #BCgov to act more (79%) • want more oversight of FortisBC to shift away from #naturalgas (61%) Getting gas out of buildings addresses all this. @stand.earth @dogwoodbc.bsky.social @cape-bc.bsky.social bit.ly/4kqaaYt

British Columbians want gas out of buildings, cleaner alternatives: poll
Polling clearly demonstrates that the higher your knowledge about the causes of climate change, the more likely you are to support climate policies.

The day it opens, LNG Canada will become B.C.‘s largest point-source emitter of #GHG, while increased gas production across the entire supply chain will also add to B.C.’s emission totals. This and other LNG projects guarantee B.C. will fail to meet its legislated emission targets. Marc Lee writes.

Boosters ignore that more plants are a risky play meaning higher emissions and gas costs while diverting clean electricity.
