Me and my Community Club crew got our hands dirty yesterday! Good to spend some time outdoors, and everyone worked really hard.

ive talked on how i wont engage with writers who use ai, i wont eat at a restaurant with an ai menu, i wont have anything to do with it. but what this post illustrates is regardless of how OTHERS react, ultimately the worst part about using ai is that you are punishing YOURSELF and dont even know it

Something I wish more people would realize.

So BC looked at Alberta and said, can we have some of that? #BCpoli #BCelection

Climate leadership isn’t what you say when you’re standing on a rooftop with musicians and activists. It’s what you do when the fossil fuel industry comes knocking. It’s whether you have the courage to say no to projects that threaten our collective future. 7/

If you have read the exceptionally detailed, all encompassing, economically sound & community-support focused PARTY PLATFORM of the @bcgreens.bsky.social & find it to be exactly what you are hoping for in a provincial government - ignore the FEAR & voting manipulation, just VOTE GREEN! ✅

We spoke to people on the streets of Vancouver to find out what issues are keeping them up. A lot of concerns have barely come up in the BC election campaign. 🤔 What issues are you most concerned about? bcclimateemergency.ca/streeter-video

I see we're having a debate about whether it's okay to go back to "X," the site owned by a trillionaire fascist who is currently bankrolling the GOP's midterm, throttled Ukraine's war effort, and still winkingly allows vast amounts of CSAM on his service Answer: No, what the fuck is wrong with you

My son was 1 when world leaders pledged to keep global warming below 1.5C in an attempt to avoid irreversible climate collapse. When he was 10 the planet spent a whole year above 1.5C. By the time he’s 14, 1.5C will likely be crossed forever. The greatest betrayal in the history of our species.

Don't just take it from us — top international economist, Dr. Emmanuel Saez, has endorsed our tax plan. Check out the details in our Economic Vision, see in bio

The government announcement says the average household will save $1,400 per year on heating by switching to a heat pump - exactly as I’ve been trying to explain to the Mission city council, which says it’s very concerned about affordability. Nevertheless…

@ghostpanther.bsky.social @davidsirota.com Anxious to hear your thoughts on Digger!

Co-sign. My favourite movie in several years. Can’t stop thinking about it.

This is getting mixed reviews to say the least, but I thought it was really good. Interested in hearing what other climate folks think.

For Carney's "we can't afford to tackle climate change" bs: Economist Joseph Stieglitz; "When the US was attacked during the second world war no one asked, “Can we afford to fight the war?” It was an existential matter. We could not afford not to fight it. The same goes for the climate crisis."

🔥If we use public dollars to electrify all these LNG exports, BC’s climate pollution will still increase by ~13 million tonnes. 🔥When the gas is finally burned overseas, add another ~130 million tonnes of climate pollution.

Fun facts: 🔥Since 2007, BC’s climate pollution has decreased by 2.3 million tonnes. 🔥Approved LNG export projects will increase BC’s climate pollution by 21.2 million tonnes by 2035. 🔥This is ten times more pollution than we’ve managed to cut in nearly 20 years.

Canada doing more than its part in destroying the world. What bday gift to my 4 year old today Extraction of the most polluting oil in the world should have been capped and started to be reduced a decade ago. Instead we are plowing ahead, ensuring an unsafe future. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Let's remember what made news earlier this year about LNG Canada and how clean its #LNG and operation actually are. In 2025 LNG Canada, which only operated for 6 months of the year, flared more gas than ANY OTHER LNG TERMINAL IN THE WORLD. @davidebybc.bsky.social thenarwhal.ca/lng-canada-b...

I’ve been hoping for this!

As a society we must do a better job of listening to disabled people. As the incomparable Alice Wong used to say… we’re oracles. We can offer a window into what comes next for you and your loved ones. We have wisdom to share. We also know how to fight systems of oppression.

This graph should be front-page news. It shows an El Niño developing faster than the strongest previous events, with a forecast that climbs higher still. I’m worried. Why isn’t this getting more attention?

So basically, fossil fuel execs and AI execs are running the same playbook. “Yeah we’re probably gonna destroy humanity, but better us than our competitors.”

“The labs are saying to governments: ‘We’re quite likely to kill every human being on Earth; please stop us.’ Governments respond with ‘Can we give you a tax break? Build you a datacenter?’ Perhaps at some point governments will remember that their voters prefer not to be dead.”

August 2026 is oficially the hottest month ever recorded globally, a record that will soon fall as the #ClimateCrisis deepens f24.my/C9P9.BS

2°C by early winter?! It’s possible, depending on what seasonal model you use. The US CFS model forecast’s a monthly peak mean global surface temperature of +2.1°C (above pre-industrial) in February. If so, it would be the first time the Earth has breached the 2C “monthly”average… 1/

People don’t fake disability … they fake being well. They play through the pain. They say they’re “fine” when they’re suffering tremendously. They do this because our capitalist, ableist society demands it. Disabled people are discriminated against & told to “try harder” 🧵

I'd go farther. This report should be accompanied by a meeting -- call it a Summit -- of global leaders, led by a PM using his unprecedented global political capital to address the most pressing crisis ever, one that directly threatens Canadians. Instead, we're getting a sales conference.

In honor of the death of eternal legend Dolly Parton, here’s her 2023 #ClimateChange anthem “World on Fire.” “Liar, liar, the world’s on fire / What’cha gonna do when it all burns down … Still got time to turn it all around.” 😭💚🙏 m.youtube.com/watch?v=0QJX...

This is what we mean when we say AI is destroying the Earth.

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is. GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart. But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

Avoiding AI is about to be a superpower.

Woah.

Trying not to be mean-spirited, but the Liberals small climate adaptation announcement in the face of this year's horrific fires rang hollow. Seems like a pittance compared to the resources that will be sunk into a new pipeline and will make matters worse. www.nationalobserver.com/2026/08/12/o...
