There are no “climate skeptic” politicians. Only people financially or electorally bought by the fossil fuel industry.

Sharing this rant to #EndFossilFuels again since *after* I made this, *another* fire (#underwoodFire) started even closer to #PortAlberni. Like so many other towns this year, it has threatened all of our homes and lives.
There is blame to lay: it is at the feet of the fossil fuel industry.
To every person in Canada, including oil industry workers:
We must transition people out of this destructive work at a wartime pace. We can do it, we just have to want to help each other end fossil fuels as soon as possible.

This was a good day.
Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦

good. We already knew this, they have been just stringing us along. Now the only option to end carbon emissions from fossil fuel production is to reduce and eliminate fossil fuel production.

Weird... it's as if we've been using extremely inefficient and over-complicated engines for the past 100 years for no good reason at all.

You're damn right it is madness. We need to scrap these terrible systems.
"Suzuki says that, despite his understanding of the climate crisis, Carney — like all of us — is trapped by the economic and political systems we've created. And for Suzuki, our only hope for survival is to scrap those systems entirely.
David Suzuki joins Jayme Poisson on the podcast for a wide-ranging discussion from what a world of irreversible climate change looks like to what he describes as the "madness" of continued investment in fossil fuels to the lessons environmentalists of the future can take from the past.”

I found this in the back as I was cleaning up in case we need to evacuate.
Am I being too subtle?

Fact: Taking a BC Ferry from Metro Vancouver to Vancouver Island is a High CO2 experience, though if it's a full ferry, it's not terrible (~5kgCO2/passenger)
By 2031, BC Ferries will have replaced 18 ferries (big and small!) in 15 years, and nearly all will be 100% electric-ready.
They just announced they're doing the big ships next.
"Built with diesel-battery hybrid propulsion systems and designed with the capability to operate on full electric power in future, the NMVs are expected to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve fuel efficiency, and lower underwater radiated noise to better protect marine life. With greater capacity than the vessels they replace, the NMVs will offer more space for vehicles and passengers and upgraded amenities, supporting a more reliable and comfortable travel experience.”
The age of fossil fuels is ending. Any politician or lobbyist who says otherwise is either not paying attention, or bought.

Looks like the #dana floods in Valencia last October. Massive rainfall in a matter of hours like nothing people have experienced before.
Dozens dead, many missing.
And the US Administration wants to do everything possible to slow the transition away from greenhouse gas emitting society.
Self Destruction.

no ____ sherlock: “Evidence of drought”
In 2015 we had a long drought and that was the first year *ever* #BCWildfire saw Rank 5 fires in the Coastal Fire Centre of BC. It was a fire near Squamish. I was in a municipal meeting with BC Wildfire folks at UBCM.
Climate Change is happening, has happened, and will continue until we stop forcing it. Our natural landscapes have no way to adapt.

the blanket of smoke made me grumpy.

It is time not just to end fossil fuels, but to end the companies:

And just to emphasize the point, we don’t use our car lightly.
We have gone on numerous road trips including from the Pacific to the Atlantic cross Canada in 2022. We have a hitch on the Kona that I use to pull a trailer for everthing from camping, to road trips, to hauling a yard of soil or rock.
We have certainly had some maintenance costs for the Kona. Some regular (brakes, after 150,000), checkups, 12V battery twice, etc. and some self inflicted (alignment and back shocks due to trailering). Visits to the dealer are your standard $500 to $2000 affair once a year. We have a second set of rims for the winter tires. We have bought 2 new sets of tires, one winter, one all season. The all seasons will be replaced after this summer.
The main battery was replaced under recall in February 2022 (before our road trip) at about 50,000km so we have a slightly newer battery than the car but not significantly, and we have not noticed any degradation in charge life.
On this day in 2022 we were visiting Wanuskewin, Saskatchewan just outside Saskatoon on our way back. We stopped to charge in Saskatoon, North Battleford, Lloydminster and Vegreville on the way to the West Edmonton Mall that day :)

At least the CBC is properly naming and shaming now right there in the sub-head.
"The oilsands continue to pump out more crude and more greenhouse gas”
This must be stopped. We must transition our workers and our economy. We must set a date and wind down the industry while winding up renewable production.

Danielle Smith's Alberta Government doesn't care if your community burns to the ground.
"On Monday, the regulator confirmed the removal of the limit and said it was responding to direction from the provincial government."
After 3 examples of that happening in Canada (2 in Alberta), it is a reasonable conclusion.

EV Charging Cost by the Numbers.
I charge my car at home almost nightly wirh a Level 2 Flo 30A/240V charger.
I noticed today that they have added an "estimated rate" for my address based on my utility (BC Hydro) charge so that it can estimate the cost of the charging.
Their estimate is $0.11400/kWh. I drive alot. 160km a day when I am commuting to work and then 50-100km in the evening 4-5 days a week Dashing. Thanks to dashing I have a solid record of odometer readings.
We have both tiered and time of day pricing so it's complicated to do this manually. I do most of my charging during the lowest rate overnight. I have the Flo charger set to only charge at full 30A power between 11PM and 7AM to match the overnight rate, then 15A in "off peak" (standard rate) and to turn off completely during on-peak 4PM to 9PM times.
I think their estimate is quite accurate considering the overnight rate is usually $0.14 - $0.05/kWh. Ill include my latest electrical bill. (we are billed monthly)
Here are the numbers.
A "full tank" of battery is 65kWh
Monthly: eg. March (full time commuting plus dashing) 4668km
30 charging sessions
853.4kWh
$97 ($2.07/100km)
Last 12 months: 56,107km
8793kWh
$1,002 ($1.78/100km)
There are a few free charges at work in there (15 in the year?) but any saving is eaten up by $6/day parking cost.
As a comparison if I drove our 2014 Prius C hybrid 56,000km at its general fuel mileage of 5L/100km and an average price of $1.60/L that would be $2,800. So I am saving by more than half, and probably more than that, compared to one of the best mileage hybrids out there.
It makes less and less sense to buy a gas car.
(We have 222,607km on the 2019 Hyundai Kona and about 250,000 on the Prius)

It's incredible that the Alberta Premier continues to claim a pipeline to the Northwest (Prince Rupert) is possible. Premier Eby was not there because he was in the middle of a pre-planned trip to Asia (Japan, South Korea, Malaysia). And he said today there won't be any reconsideration of another oil pipeline, "decarbonzed" or not. And Japan has no interest in heavy oil anyway.
"But Eby continued to pour cold water on other premiers' talk of building another oil pipeline across B.C. to the coast, saying there is already the taxpayer-owned Trans Mountain Pipeline, which is not being used to full capacity.
He added that the Japanese don't want heavy oil and thermal coal. And he has not altered his stance against lifting the heavy oil tanker ban on B.C.'s North Coast.”

Today in the Capitalist Climate Catastrophe, Scott Moe, chief apologist of Saskatchewan (and Premier) for the Fossil Fuel criminals, wants a "National Firefighting Force”.
(note: I would not be opposed to this... but the fact this asshole is suggesting it while he demands more help getting his world-burning fossil fuels out of the ground is just too much.)

Canadians who are interested in passenger rail should take a look at what is happening in Mexico right now. They have a National Railway Plan to build 3400km of passenger rail track alongside existing private freight.
CPKC (the merged Canadian Pacific, Kansas City Southern railway) is front and centre.
"CPKC is actively collaborating with the Mexican government to support implementation specifically for the Mexico City – Queretaro and the Saltillo – Nuevo Laredo segments,” the Class I told Vantuono. “CPKC is making steady progress, actively and closely working with Mexican authorities on technical review of project segments. That includes providing detailed assessments and alternatives to facilitate decision-making, and mutual agreements. We are working toward clear agreements that minimize shared infrastructure usage between passenger and freight services. Where interactions are unavoidable, CPKC has proposed infrastructure solutions and operational adjustments, ensuring that the impacts on freight operations and growth remains minimal.””

According to news reports the first LNG tanker to receive a commercial LNG shipment from the LNG Canada faciility in Kitimat will be the “Gaslog Glasgow”
It's currently well offshore of Haida Gwaii on its way to the BC Central Coast.
A sad sad day for the climate.
