I know Instagram is evil, but honestly, the Climate Liberation Aotearoa and 350 crew are killing it with the stuff they are posting about the #stocktonMine occupation (over 35 hours now!)

Here's a taster responding to Jones's ludicrous press release earlier today; but if you still have an account there, please give them some love because they are heroes and their posts are pure 🔥

Algeria and the other Saharan countries could literally lease a patch of the desert to other countries to generate their power.

We could have started on this with the Kyoto accord in the 90s.

We would have a global clean power grid by now.

But instead investors have fossil fuel companies and we have climate catastrophes.

We’re so smart.

“So you would hand the country to PP and the Cons”

I saw that, brave replier, before you deleted it. I won’t call you out by name, that would be rude, but know this:

No one likes to be treated like an idiot, and when rabid Liberal supporters accuse NDP supporters of “handing” anything over to Conservatives by the simple act of voting for their party of choice, very likely in a riding where the NDP did and can win, you are not convincing anyone to vote Liberal.

Take a moment to do the calculation on how that helps beat mini-Trump.

The *most* disappointing thing I have seen from Carney in his remarks is his capitulation to the energy lobby.

Carney is extremely smart and has been deeply involved in, and even led, movements to end global economic dependence on fossil fuels.

So without question, HE KNOWS:
1) Solar and Wind are now the cheapest forms of energy to build in the world, by far.
2) Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is an illusion. (Bravo Blanchet for calling this out last night)
3) Natural Gas no longer displaces coal and oil, but renewables.
4) Canadian Oil and Gas have the highest CO2 factors of any source in the world, most countries, especially the EU, do not want it.

And yet he has been:

1) mute on solar/renewables
2) promising billions to CCS
3) promising billions to LNG
4) claiming we can sufficiently reduce CO2 from tar sands and fracking extraction.

These things all set fire to his environmental credibility.

At this point unless you are in the incumbent Green ridings, the NDP is the best environmental/climate pick, hands down.

If you are a climate activist, or anyone concerned about keeping oil in the ground in Canada the most important riding for the environment in this election and in Canada is probably Skeena - Bulkley Valley.

Remember the Northern Gateway Pipeline?

If the NDP's Taylor Bachrach can hold this riding, and the Liberals hold power in Ottawa, then this fight can stay dead and buried where it belongs. You can donate to his campaign here: taylorbachrach2025.ndp.ca

If the CPC and Conservative Ellis Ross wins -- he's a long time, oil soaked, climate denying, and divisive former First Nations leader and BC MLA -- expect them to lift the West Coast tanker ban and start another climate war like Clayoquot and Fairy Creek.

With Oil prices crashing — putting expensive US/Canadian oil supply at risk — and tariff hit consumers likely causing a recession in the world’s largest economies, could Donald Trump be the best thing to happen for CO2 emissions, and the transition to renewables, since the pandemic?

Only if the rest of the (sane) world takes the opportunity to double down on renewable energy.

Just to get an idea of the scale of the disaster this *one* LNG terminal represents:

If built to capacity, this facility will export up to 28 Million Tonnes of LNG per year.

It is expected to produce 0.15 tonnes of CO2 per tonne of LNG. (source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LNG_Cana)

That's 4.2 Million tonnes of CO2 per year.

BC's total emissions in 2022 were 65.5 million tonnes.

So this one facility will increase by 6% the total CO2 emissions of the province. Meanwhile, that doesn't count the CO2 of the exported LNG itself when it is used.

I guess the rest of us just have to work harder at reducing emissions so the poor LNG company (Shell et al) can have their profits!
