'Dr. Aaron Thierry‪ @thierryaaron.bsky.social: "This is not just a slight warming; it is a fundamental change in how people will have to survive on the continent.
Once regions in Africa enter a state of almost continuous heatwaves, the human body will have no window of time to recover." '

Heat with no end: climate model sets out an unbearable future for parts of Africa

we should definitely be focusing on Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS, not CCS like the PM calls it) and new oil pipelines and not utility scale battery systems on our electrical grids.

“Full report” (700 pg PDF): “5.6 Cascadia Megathrust M9.0 Earthquake during wildfire season”
The scenario:
"On a morning in August, during wildfire season and a heatwave, megathrust (subduction interface) a magnitude
9.0 (M9.0) earthquake occurs offshore of Vancouver Island. Minutes of strong shaking are felt across the region—on Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland—and as far south as northern California.”
Light reading! :)

Oh look... LNG doesn't make Earthquake disaster response easier either!
page 82:
“Energy”
The initial earthquake and ongoing aftershocks cause extensive damage to power plants, transmission lines and
substations, leading to prolonged power outages across the region. Damage is also likely to impact major fuel processing and storage locations and LNG refining sites, which are coastal based. These include two Indigenous-led LNG projects (Ksi Lisims and Cedar— Nisga’a and Haisla).”

pet peeve.
when articles mention a report or study and don't link the report or study!

The Carney Climate Capitulation is Crossing the Pond.

Carney is a carbon industry plant.
nothing says environmental “blank cheque” to industry like: “voluntary certification program”.
"But operators have another compliance option, which some may find controversial because it could give industry players some more leeway. Operators can design their own approaches, providing a facility meets "methane intensity thresholds" that are on par with standards from "leading international voluntary certification programs.””
That's what private forest companies (Mosaic) on Vancouver Island use to claim they are following ‘best practices' as they clear cut whole sides of mountains and leave a 10m ‘riparian zone' around streams while falling trees right over them.
It's a license to make up their own rules and do whatever they want, wider impacts be damned.

We should be using all the copper we possibly can to electrify the world as fast as possible.
Instead tech-bros are like: “Ooo lets use all the everythings to build idiotic slop machines.”

Carney has completely lost First Nations. (Smith never had them of course)
"…they had no choice but to come to Ottawa to make their appeal, and potentially take legal action. “And one thing with First Nations and the courts? We have a very good track record of winning,” Mike Mercredi said.”
I increasingly think the Carney government will fall before July 1st. Making the MOU potentially moot.
