Trump may be a climate-denying fossil fuel booster but the science isn’t changing. The crisis is real and it just got much harder, if not impossible, to cut global emissions in half by 2030 given he'd add 4 billion tonnes of co2 by decade’s end. https://t.co/MNRjJqyOso

Nature is being pushed to the brink as logging, mining and the burning of fossil fuels destroy ecosystems — but even while acknowledging the problem, countries negotiating at COP16 still failed to agree on how to pay for conservation efforts. https://t.co/72QMKwEPvd

An oil and gas emissions cap makes sense given the sector's obscene pollution & profits. But with Trudeau fighting for his political life and Opposition parties smelling blood in the water, politics may upend this policy before its actually put in place. https://t.co/xoCe8kb0x8

The UN system is a system of nation states and Indigenous nations often fall through the cracks. At COP16, countries are figuring out a way to formalize Indigenous participation - but the devil's in the details. Great piece here unpacking the issue https://t.co/5jXmYn4YlH

At COP16 biomass subsidies are under debate. Basically, people want governments to stop subsidizing burning trees for energy. The climate case for it doesn't make sense and it destroys ecosystems. Via @NBulowski https://t.co/wNDvfGlPVN

"There’s a reason the Alberta Energy Regulator doesn’t want to put the Pathways project through an environmental assessment. It is because it will expose the environmental impacts, the poor economic viability and the risks to human health." https://t.co/vaDlsnHGgH

New research from @CarbonBubble ought to stop British Columbia's LNG industry in its tracks. It ever made sense from a climate POV, and increasingly the business case just isn't there. Expect pressure to ramp up on the new Eby government. https://t.co/q4rAYKC7kK https://t.co/GrCopXxvjh

“It's more posturing… for her own personal benefit,” @s_guilbeault said. “It's so transparent. Everything she's been doing over the last few weeks is all in light of her leadership review that's starting this weekend.” https://t.co/AfBkBOJfPX

The genre of political writing about what a credible climate plan looks like for the Conservatives misreads the moment. In reality, the party is uninterested in a credible plan because the whole game here is using climate as a wedge issue. https://t.co/hg6rx6dZle

The head of the Canadian Gas Association went to Budapest last month for a Heritage Foundation event where he went on a climate denial spiel calling emission reduction efforts "cult like." https://t.co/1NkJ7ybce5
