Nature not a blocker to housing growth, inquiry finds Commons committee report challenges ‘lazy narrative’ used by ministers that scapegoats wildlife and the environment

This is what many of us have been saying. Part 3 of the Planning & Infrastructure Bill is based on a myth: that we don't have enough homes because wildlife and green spaces are protected. It will solve nothing, and inflict terrible harm on our remaining ecosystems

We wrote this to help you imagine how quickly a city can change under Trump…

Charlotte was once a place of slow, easy mornings, coffee cups clinking in cozy cafés, jazz drifting through open doors on Tryon Street, families stepping onto the light rail with strollers and soccer bags.

Alberta don’t be fooled by Smith’s deflection & gaslighting. We don’t need a waste of tax payer $$ for a bogus AB next panel!

It’s been a long week. Every day under this administration somehow feels worse than the last. We know how exhausting this fight can be, but don’t give up. Get some rest tonight. Tomorrow is another big day. Many of our coalition members spent today traveling to event sites around the country.

Great grey owl on fence post

Great Grey owl!

WHAT THE F**K!

We just want to say—we’re sorry. We know how emotionally exhausting all of this is, and we truly understand. But you’re not alone. We’re in this together.

Excited for all the new American banana and coffee factories.

Absolutely devastating study released last week on North American pollinator biodiversity: "We assessed the extinction risk of nearly 1,600 species of vertebrate and insect pollinators and found that more than one in five species is at risk of extinction."

Scientists warn of severe honeybee losses in 2025 Researchers at Washington State University projected that honeybee colonies in the U.S. could decline by up to 70% this year.

So you think grocery prices are high now? While the new is filled with outrages from DC, a double whammy is coming for US agriculture this year. We've had a normal die-off this Winter, but we keep native bees that are more resistant to local threats. #apismellifera

Ugh

Altadena Wildfires My house in Altadena burned down in the wildfires on Wednesday. It all happened quickly.

Indeed!

Yes, Climate Change is Raising the Risks—and Stakes—of Extreme Wildfires Rising temperatures, parched forests, and shifting precipitation patterns are fueling severe wildfires with unprecedented impacts. There is still time to act.

No evidence to support Alberta agency's claims about cleanup of oilsands spills, study suggests | CBC News An analysis of a decade's worth of data kept by the Alberta Energy Regulator suggests the agency has made unsubstantiated claims about the success of oilsands tailings spills cleanup.

Not so ethical!

A street is orange from flames and you can see the high winds in the palm trees. Sparks fly down the street

A fire truck is engulfed in parks and flames are seen on the hill. The entire photo is red and orange from the fire

A fireman with a hose runs across the front of a house in flames in the background

The inside of a house is a ball of flames. The only visible thing inside is a burning Christmas tree

These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer.

These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP.

The chronicle of a fire foretold | Rebecca Solnit The current fires in Los Angeles are reminders of the costs of forgetting

Our annual temperature report will come out, alongside NASA & NOAA, at 11 AM ET / 8 AM PT / 5 PM CET today.

I'll also be doing a thread to summarize the results.

a graphic showing a linear relationship between emissions of co2 and the warming of earth, projected out also into various scenarios

"every fraction of a degree matters" is true as hell. In the same way that releasing CO2 hurts people and planet, avoiding its release saves us from potential harm

This isn't some saccharine 'hopeful' message: it's the hard, inarguable physical reality.

Global losses from natural disasters reached 320 billion U.S. dollars in 2024

The LA fires alone could be half that amount in the new year

PS. Our hearts go out to you. It was only a few months ago that our beloved community of Jasper faced the same hideous reality.
But the love & support between people has been incredible.
You got this!

No, the world has not breached the 1.5C global warming target.

It’s a climate target - which means it’s an average that must be sustained over at least a decade.

We currently sit at 1.2 C. Which is already very bad.

The science is clear: every bit of warming matters, every action matters.

Our 2024 Annual Temperature Report is now out.

Record warmth affecting billions of people, but also worrying signs of faster than expected warmth.
