Looks like it's time to abandon the sewer known as X and formerly Twitter. Crypto trolls seem to have taken over my account. See you on LinkedIn.

Not sure how any self-respecting climate or youth activist can attend #COP28. A complete travesty.

The wrong answer and the wrong question. It's about accelerating clean energy, not eliminating 100%.
"While getting to 90% clean power should be affordable, the last 10% could cost as much again as the first 90%." quotes @MLiebreich in his blog.

Thank goodness! We need another planet to destroy. .
The Webb telescope has detected carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere of exoplanet K2-18 b, a potentially habitable world over 8 times bigger than Earth. Webb’s data suggests the planet might be covered in ocean, with a hydrogen-rich atmosphere:

Such a pain.
Latest on the #CorranFerryCrisis: ferry’s off yet again, another technical fault & further @HighlandCouncil incompetence in failing to repair our main vessel. Today it’s the Strontian Show - the top day for the local farming community. But no ferry = far fewer visitors 😡

The UCP government’s bullheaded moratorium is profoundly short-sighted, and it has even co-opted environmentalist language for its preposterous justifications

As a leader on the Ontario Greenbelt for almost 20 years, I realize we didn’t make the Greenbelt Act strong enough. It’s not tool late to fight back.

And that would mean Danielle Smith is totally wrong and has no understanding of the benefits of renewable power. Surely she isn't trying to mislead Albertans, who have the highest electricity rates, to support her friends in the gas industry by halting renewable power?.
Wait, you're not saying that natural gas based private power costs 4 times as much as public monopoly renewable power? Free market brains are going to explode. .

Excellent piece. When the Greenbelt Act was passed in 2005 there was as much developable land between the northern GTA boundary and southern Greenbelt boundary as in ALL existing GTA housing lands. Destroying the Greenbelt is unnecessary and the premise is a lie.
My take on the Greenbelt scandal: #onpoli #Greenbelt.

Yum!.
There’s still one secret location in N Argyll from which the dedicated searcher can get a bucket of cockles - including, at two inches across, some whoppers. Spaghetti Vongole it was. Believe you me, it was good.

"82 percent of dealerships [in Canada] have no ZEVs in stock", that doesn't sound like an EV glut to me.
