climatechange

<p>Don&#x27;t let anyone hush you from talking and acting up about climate change. The issue is one of the greatest threats to humanity and the planet. If we don&#x27;t act soon the future will be severely changed for all life as we know it.</p><p><a href="/tags/climatechange/" rel="tag">#climatechange</a> <a href="/tags/actup/" rel="tag">#actup</a> <a href="/tags/govegan/" rel="tag">#govegan</a></p><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/aug/01/democrats-climate-policy-hushing" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/aug/01/democrats-climate-policy-hushing"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">www.theguardian.com/us-news/20</span><span class="invisible">26/aug/01/democrats-climate-policy-hushing</span></a></p>

<p>1/ As I received this news today here in British Columbia, the wildfire smoke blankets the sky, our eyes are burning and our kid is complaining of a sore throat from it. And we’re the lucky ones. Over the weekend, more than 5,000 British Columbians had to flee their homes in 24 hours, under evacuation from just two of the approximately 130 wildfires currently engulfing the province.</p><p><a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/carney-moves-to-list-alberta-pipeline-national-interest-9.7295932" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="www.cbc.ca/news/politics/carney-moves-to-list-alberta-pipeline-national-interest-9.7295932"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">www.cbc.ca/news/politics/carne</span><span class="invisible">y-moves-to-list-alberta-pipeline-national-interest-9.7295932</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/canada/" rel="tag">#canada</a> <a href="/tags/cdnpoli/" rel="tag">#cdnpoli</a> <a href="/tags/climatechange/" rel="tag">#climateChange</a></p>

<p>This is the government of Canada’s scientific finding.</p><p>It is true.</p><p>It is also a terrible message. Here’s what’s also true:</p><p>Every tenth of a degree of global warming matters.</p><p>Every fraction of temperature rise we avoid saves lives, reduces disease, food and water shortages, disasters.</p><p>That means:</p><p>Every wind turbine and solar panel deployed</p><p>Every heat pump installed</p><p>Every energy efficiency retrofit</p><p>Every electric bus and vehicle</p><p>Every job created from all these things…</p><p>It all matters! It all counts.</p><p>But so do new pipelines, the LNG boom, and the Carney government’s dismantling of Canada’s climate policy.</p><p>Folks, it’s not too late. We can change course and choose a healthy, safer future.</p><p>We just need the right kind of nation-building projects.</p><p>(And that includes engaging First Nations first.)</p><p><a href="https://www.ctvnews.ca/climate-and-environment/article/changes-to-canadas-climate-now-irreversible-federal-report-says/" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="www.ctvnews.ca/climate-and-environment/article/changes-to-canadas-climate-now-irreversible-federal-report-says/"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">www.ctvnews.ca/climate-and-env</span><span class="invisible">ironment/article/changes-to-canadas-climate-now-irreversible-federal-report-says/</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/canada/" rel="tag">#canada</a> <a href="/tags/cdnpoli/" rel="tag">#cdnpoli</a> <a href="/tags/environment/" rel="tag">#environment</a> <a href="/tags/climatechange/" rel="tag">#climateChange</a></p>
