Apparently the COP presidency was ✨shocked✨by the overwhelming backlash to GST text. @s_guilbeault 🇨🇦 plays a critical role to ➕ ambition on phase out — back to the drawing board. 📸 Hazy dystopian skies in Dubai. “Feel the wonder” while passing the smokestacks + megahighway

At #COP28    Bolivia just called out US, Canada, Norway, Australia and the UK for their hypocrisy and lies. These 5 countries are responsible for 50% of planned global oil & gas expansion #PlanetWreckers #EndFossilFuels
Romain Ioualalen@Rlalen

Bolivia calls out hypocrisy of countries saying of Global North countries calling for phase out of fossil fuels and still expanding fossil fuel prodcution: US, Canada, Norway, Australia 🔥

🧵 What we have been seeing in the #cop28 negotiations can be summarized as the good, the bad, and the ugly. 1/6

Reaction to new GST text: COP28 is breaking new ground by putting fwd language on fossil fuel phaseout & a new target for renewable energy. But pushing for targets without also putting in place the necessary $ to make them happen on the ground risks becoming empty posturing. 1/

A review of provincial data shows the total area of #OldGrowth cut in 2021 was about 19% higher than what was reported by B.C. This means old-growth logging increased in 2021 instead of falling to “record lows” as stated by the province. ➡️ Media release: sierraclub.bc.ca/review-of-b-c-…

West Kelowna fire chief questioned what could have been accomplished if that money had been spent proactively fighting climate change. “We’re spending the money on the wrong end of the problem,” the fire chief told the UN Climate Summit vancouversun.com/news/local-new…

Not only did @FortisBC pay for platinum access to delegates at the #UBCM municipal conf last week, but execs also sent a letter to every Mayor and Councillor across BC touting "renewable & low carbon gases" as a climate solution. So we fixed it with our own, fact-based, letter.
Stand.earth@standearth

@FortisBC We were also excited to connect with local leaders at #UBCM23 last week. We heard a request from many for clear, unbiased information about how to meet B.C.’s climate targets by decarbonizing buildings, so we obliged with our own open letter. #ActOnClimate safecities.earth/ubcm-zero-carb…

Feeling the same way. For so long, we’d say ‘fossil fuels’ & ppl would look at us like we literally speaking a diff language. *Finally* world leaders are naming the problem. #endfossilfuels
Catherine Abreu@catabreu_

Fossil fuels are the cause of climate change. An obvious fact that has taken over 30 years to echo through the halls of the United Nations. That changed forever today at the Climate Ambition Summit. Today is a gamechanger for the global climate regime. The veil has been torn off.

With wildfires threatening cities from Yellowknife to Kelowna, Canada's climate crisis has reached a terrifying new pitch. But @solmamakwa and Indigenous leaders insist there's another way: stop building pipelines, invest in alternatives, and respect Indigenous rights.

This is Vancouver today. The mountains have been swallowed by smoke. The air quality is about as bad as it can get. And yet, we are by far the lucky ones. Thinking of my friends from the Okanagan, from Yellowknife, from all the places that will never be the same again.

"There is now so much going on that it is difficult even to digest it all. There’s just too much. It’s everything everywhere all at once." My @latimes colleague @corinnepurtill asked climate scientists how they're coping with their forecasts coming true: latimes.com/environment/st…

Big appreciation to @StefanLabbe for uncovering @FortisBC's role in altering the recommendations of a supposedly 'independent' report in the future of gas in a low-carbon future.
Stefan Labbé@StefanLabbe

🧵A 2022 report showing the potential future role of gas in B.C. was edited after publication, sparking claims the province & industry are misinforming the public The sections removed included statements saying heat pumps are 6-8 times more efficient that burning with gas...
