Yearly reminder that the main cause of the climate crisis is the burning of fossil fuels. A phase out of fossil fuels would phase out the climate crisis. Key to remember for @IPCC_CH #AR7 scoping meeting. @pepcanadell @DianaUrge @JimSkeaIPCC @janfug @RolandSeferian @Peters_Glen
It might be the time to remind all that ~90% of current CO2 emissions are due to fossil fuel burning. ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1… naturwissenschaften.ch/trendwende ourworldindata.org/co2-emissions We need #COP28 to deliver a phase out of fossil fuels. Don't we want a phase out of the climate crisis?
How on earth did Americans elect this bozo. Seriously. he is an incompetent negotiator, illiterate, & is hurting Americans with the tariffs they (not we) pay! Some US companies just lost out on tens of thousands of dollars of renovation materials I bought. I went 100% Canadian
Trump in Scotland: I say two things to Europe. Stop the windmills. I really mean it. It's so sad. You fly over and you see these windmills all over the place, ruining your beautiful fields and valleys and killing your birds🤡
Early morning comedy .... This just made me LMAO 🤣 I don't know who he is but he needs his own show.
Canada is determined to further strengthen its relations with our trusted partners, here in France & in Europe. On this #July1st, let us celebrate the friendship between Canada & France, Monaco & Europe. Wishing a very happy #CanadaDay to our fellow Canadians & all friends of 🇨🇦!
This post, written by my father, was originally published on Mar 22 2016. I am reposting this it is particularly timely in light of the ongoing controversies in local governance happening around Victoria. His case for amalgamation is very compelling. #yyj #bcpoli…
Was doing some writing today and cam across this post I wrote in 2018. It has aged well and is applicable to present discussions in Canada. #cdnpoli #bcpoli andrewjweaver.ca/2018/02/28/tim…
Should the @liberal_party and @MarkJCarney who are talking about “decarbonized oil” be charged under Canada’s new anti-greenwashing law (Bill C-59) that they recently bought in? Decarbonized oil? Do you mean hydrogen? #cdnpoli #bcpoli @s_guilbeault
Given that @elonmusk has finally called @realDonaldTrump out for his gratuitous incompetence, narcissism, and boorish lack of leadership it now seems safe to post again on X!
I hadn't planned to post again on X but I've had numerous follower requests. I 'm no longer on X & amexclusively using Bluesky. My handle there is: "@ajwvictoriabc.bsky.social". It's a far more civil place to hang out! #bcpoli #cdnpoli This account is only being kept for…
Now this is what I call EV charging infrastructure (taken in Everett Washington). Can we please step it up in BC ?#bcpoli #ev
I understand some partisans don't like when people in a party speak up. But a political party isn't a cult. If people who care greatly about the party don't speak up when things are really off the rails, then we're doing a disservice to the country & to ourselves.
In a remarkable turn of events, the @BCGreens have negotiated away any form of relevance in the forthcoming legislative session. It looks like an unelected leader with no negotiating skill has hamstrung two naive rookie MLAs with no legislative experience when they had no need to…
Not sure what the @canadapostcorp union @cupw is thinking. Regular mail is in trouble & >50,000 of your members stand to lose their jobs. It's 2024 and we all have many other delivery options (including electronic). I'd suggest it's time to move to 6-7 day delivery with…
The Man Cold is a very real thing! I've come to the conclusion that more health care resources need to dedicated to Man Cold rehabilitation. A fraction of the money being dedicated to harm reduction could be assigned to Man Cold therapeutic treatment. Come on @bcndp .. where is…
I wonder when so-called "progressives" (who often behave like "regressives") will realize that they are the reason Trump got elected, Pollievre is way ahead in Canada & Rustad came out of nowhere to nearly win the last BC election. Their inability to engage in dialogue & their…
