I interviewed @devyani.bsky.social Singh prior to the 2020 election. Tonight, it looks like Devyani, a true climate champion, has been elected to Vancouver city council. www.straight.com/news/climate...
@tzeporahberman is an inspiration to climate activists around the world. She is the founder of @stand.earth, and is the founder and steering committee chair of the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative. I’m honoured to have her as my mentor, and so thankful to have her endorsement.
Sean Orr has been fighting hard against Ken Sim’s austerity: he needs a city council on his side… and so do you. On Oct 17th vote COPE for city council Sean Orr #111 Dr. Devyani Singh #121 Chloe Leslie #124 Solomon Yi-Kieran #155 www.instagram.com/reel/Dehk1v0...
While Ken Sim spent 4 years serving himself and his mansion owning backers, here’s what @copevancouver.bsky.social candidates have been doing!! www.instagram.com/reel/DeZ1-Sa...
It’s jobs AND the planet, not jobs OR the planet. @copevancouver has a plan to protect workers and invest in green infrastructure that will create jobs in Vancouver. www.instagram.com/reel/DeSBg_x...
Vancouver needs a climate defence strategy that gets more with less by investing in tool libraries and zero-waste, enhanced infrastructure for climate safety, and empowers communities to prepare for future climate events. Vote for Devyani Singh on Oct 17. ✊: www.instagram.com/reel/DeIoVoG...
COPE: The Coalition of Progressive Electors brought rent control to Vancouver. Now we’re fighting to add on vacancy control. Let’s close the loophole that incentivizes landlords to jack up rents. www.instagram.com/reel/DdrrmwQ...
www.instagram.com/reel/DdmXCvG... We need to believe and be willing to sacrifice our comfort and car centricity to become a more ecological city. “Doomerism takes away the will for people to want to create change”
COPE is committed to working with other progressive parties, partners across BC, and levels of government to fight for Vancouver! Emily has been a committed voice on progressive issues, and we are honoured to have her endorsement. www.instagram.com/p/DdhRYKHAez...
Ken Sim is clawing back climate protections and rewarding his big money backers by running gas businessmen for city council. Vote COPE to protect our environment, kick the lobbyists and billionaire interests out of city hall. www.instagram.com/reel/DdR2PA9...
We’re fighting for affordable housing, literally rain or shine. 🌧️☀️ @copevancouver.bsky.social will fight to renew leases, protect the community, and expand affordable housing and co-ops across Vancouver. www.instagram.com/reel/Dc65FtU...

@devyani.bsky.social of the Stand.earth Research Group has something to say about climate-killing methane released from LNG production: “Have we actually accounted for all the leakage along the whole pipeline? Have we accounted for the actual under-reporting of methane emissions...

It’s outrageous that the biggest mass murder in Canadian history isn’t part of the high school curriculum nor in any of our museums The families deserve to have the tragedy explained and documented in full public view www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

When scientists have gone from calling unnatural disasters "climate change crisis" to "climate change classics" we have a problem. A problem perpetuated by a billionaire-backed fossil fuel industry who seem to think what is hurting us all right now, won't affect them.

Our provincial government are such losers. They are still trying to find ways to cave into the trucker convoy three years later. The notion that the Eby gov is going to "make polluters pay" is absolutely laughable - no one comes out swinging harder in defense of LNG projects than the BC NDP.

Financiers and policy makers take note: LNG is not a climate solution, not on land, and not at sea.

No, the world has not breached the 1.5C global warming target. It’s a climate target - which means it’s an average that must be sustained over at least a decade. We currently sit at 1.2 C. Which is already very bad. The science is clear: every bit of warming matters, every action matters.
World breaches 1.5C global warming target for first time in 2024 https://www.ft.com/content/fd914266-71bf-4317-9fdc-44b55acb52f6

I am a climate scientist and this is correct ⬇️
"every fraction of a degree matters" is true as hell. In the same way that releasing CO2 hurts people and planet, avoiding its release saves us from potential harm This isn't some saccharine 'hopeful' message: it's the hard, inarguable physical reality. www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/w...
