Mark Carney says Canada is an energy superpower, which is nonsense. The only energy superpower is China, the dominant producer of recyclables equipment and batteries.

Having a lot of oil in 2026 is like having a lot of horses in 1926. You're skating to where the puck was, not where it's going.

That's great, something else to worry about: Rising global emissions of hydrogen over the past three decades have added to the planet’s warming temperatures and amplified the impact of methane, one of the most potent greenhouse gases

President of Iran Says It's Forced to Move Its Entire Capital City Iranian president Masoud Pezeshkian says the country has no choice but to move the nation's capital amidst an unprecedented water crisis.

Global warming will make vast areas of the planet that are hot today unliveable in the future. It is already starting.

Iranian president Masoud Pezeshkian says the country “no longer has a choice,” and must move Tehran, which has a population of 15-million, to another location.

Amazon Lakes Are Turning Into Hot Tubs and It’s Killing the Dolphins Amazon lakes are heating past 40°C, killing pink river dolphins and exposing the devastating reach of the climate crisis.

A new study published in Science has found that droughts and extreme heat are pushing water temperatures in parts of the Amazon to an unbearable 41°C (106°F). The result? Mass die-offs of fish and endangered Amazon river dolphins.

The average atmospheric CO₂ concentration in 1995 was 361 ppm, today it is 425 ppm.

Oh boy, another COP climate summit is beginning. In 1995, the year of the first COP, average worldwide daily consumption of all fossil fuels combined was 161 million barrels of oil equivalent. This year, 30 years later, it will top 260 million barrels of oil equivalent. The progress is palpable.

Mark Carney and his wife like to posture as clean energy supporters and environmentalists. Now Carney, who I somewhat reluctantly canvassed for in the last election, is offering to restart the Keystone XL pipeline in exchange for lower Trump tariffs. It's both sad and disgraceful. What a vendu.

First evidence in the UK of breeding aegypti mosquito – the main spreader of dengue, chikungunya and Zika The first discovery of Aedes aegypti eggs in the UK shows how climate change and global travel are helping mosquitoes that spread dengue and Zika expand northwards.

Went for a walk in my Mexican happy space and saw this . . . sure do love me dem Bogies.

Poor Mexico so close to the United States so far from Sweden.

Of the 37 OECD advanced economies, Mexico has the 34th greatest income inequality (by Gini Coefficient). Can Señora Sheinbaum overtake number 33, the United States?

Climate Change Likely to Expand the Range of an Asian Bat and the Deadly Disease it Carries - Inside Climate News A vaccine in development may slow the spread of Nipah virus, which kills up to 75 percent of the people it sickens, but reducing the environmental disruptions that bring people, livestock and bats tog...

Climate change may be altering the range of the Pteropus fruit bat, bringing it into contact with more people. That is concerning, since the bat hosts the Nipah virus, which kills 75 percent of the people that contract it.

Oxford researchers find policymakers underestimate public support for New research by University of Oxford researchers from the Institute of New Economic Thinking at the Oxford Martin School, Saïd Business School and Smith School of Enterprise and Environment finds

It seems we may not be as stupid as we seem: Research from Oxford finds policymakers underestimate the proportion of people that want climate action by nearly 50 percent. Hence the recent clamour by some politicians for a reset on climate policy due to supposed lack of support.

Photos: Turkiye’s glaciers fall victim to climate change Glaciers in the Turkish southeast are melting rapidly, threatening water supplies and local tourism.

Glaciers are a critically important source of fresh water in numerous parts of the world. As the glaciers disappear with global warming, so does the fresh water, and many of the people and other lifeforms in the region will either die or flee.

Brutal heat making outdoor labour in southern Europe’s tourist spots unsafe for workers Labour unions push for tougher regulations to protect aging workforce and many protest after death of 51-year-old street cleaner who worked during major heatwave

Global warming will make growing areas of the globe unliveable. Think the non-mountainous ares between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn initially.

A street sweeper died in Barcelona during a heat wave last month and 12 other city cleaners have suffered heatstroke since.

NASA-Funded Greenland Survey Reveals ‘Crazy’ Amounts Of Ocean Warming NASA-funded undersea robotic vehicle is giving both astrobiologists and climate scientists a window onto Greenland’s previously hidden subsurface.

Preliminary data from a NASA-funded Greenland survey point to a two-degree centigrade rise in regional ocean water temperatures in less than a decade - a crazy amount of ocean warming.

Infographic: Climate Change Tripled Heat Deaths in European Heatwave This chart shows the estimated number of excess heat-related deaths in the June/July 2025 European heatwave and the impact of climate change on excess deaths.

Scientists from the Grantham Institute for Climate Change and the Environment found that 1,500 of the 2,300 estimated heat deaths in the recent European heat wave, or 65 percent, were a result of climate change.

In another of my posts, which cites David Suzuki, he points out you can't have unlimited growth on a finite planet (Club of Rome?). So, we need a flat or shrinking population and a reengineered economic system.
