The climate is breaking down faster than we’re told. Existing models are failing. We need a new way of seeing the whole system. This is the All-System Iterative Approach — and how we begin to tell the truth. rogerhallam.com/the-all-system…

"We are motivated by love, not profit," says 80-year-old Anglican Minister Michael Van Dusen, one of a growing number of religious leaders risking arrest to nonviolently resist fossil fuel-driven climate destruction. #climateemergency #cdnpoli #pipelines #faith

Not one member of this @PnPCBC panel believes we are in a climate crisis. All talk about economy and rapid expansion of fossil fuels. None about how to avoid catastrophic global warming to have a livable planet. @cbc knows better, but doesn’t care. youtu.be/0sWc2LZMcUU?si…

@msSharanKaur Is 3C heating this century best for the nation, its people and economy? Because that is what we will get, according the @IEA, if we keep building pipelines and expanding fossil fuel production (and consumption).

UBCIC congratulates ex-cabinet minister Steven Guilbeault for his most principled and impactful climate activism yet. We thank Guilbeault for his powerful rejection of an oil pipeline to the Great Bear Sea, and rejection of the backroom MOU between Alberta and Canada.

People of faith have a role to play in calling on our leaders to show the courage and moral leadership to protect this one, sacred planet. This video captures one recent action in Toronto - on the first day of COP30 - to do so. youtu.be/2ie1ZBN-tqM?si…

Canadians know first-hand the impacts of extreme heat; the Heat Dome marked our deadliest climate disaster. Now a report shows heat kills 1 person a minute worldwide. Words are not enough. We need to see action in the federal budget. theguardian.com/environment/20…

"I cannot sit by and let business as usual continue," said former banker Kim Bradshaw, on trial for a 2024 sit-in at a Toronto @RBC branch, protesting the bank's continued financing of fossil fuels. Charges were dropped and the judge said "We have to fight for what is right."
