I had the opportunity to work with Kirsty on the IPCC 3rd Assessment Report. It was important to have someone with her expertise on climate change and health as part of our author team on North America. I also want to echo Katharine's comment about her advocacy for science! She will be missed.

In Canada, political leaders are talking about building large-scale infrastructure projects, including pipelines carrying 'decarbonized oil'. But this is dependent on whether carbon capture and storage can be significantly scaled up beyond where it is now. doctorclimatechange.com/f/is-isn%E2%...

My Climate Policy Wish List for Prime Minister Carney In Canada, there was a federal election on April 28th, 2025.

I agree that the new Carney government needs to pick a path, and increasing Canada's capacity to manage wildfires should be part of this. So is enabling us to have better conversations about climate policy. I posted my 5-point wish list a few days ago. doctorclimatechange.com/f/my-climate...

PM Carney only canceled the consumer (retail) price, not the industrial price. I expect this will be an important issue in the upcoming Canadian election.

I hope you're right. But also, there needs to be a discussion about the broader range of climate policies already in place, like critical minerals, and what the options are for these. doctorclimatechange.com/f/the-future...

Although there is much attention in Canada on the tariff fight with the U.S., climate change isn't going away. There will soon be an election in Canada. I've outlined some climate policy choices. #climatepolicy #climatescience #climate&sustainability doctorclimatechange.com/f/the-future...

With attention focused on the tariff fight with the United States, is it still possible for Canadians to think about climate policy? Climate change isn't going away, and with an election in Canada coming soon, it's time to consider climate policy choices. doctorclimatechange.com/f/the-future...

Why aren’t people making this demand clear?

Around the world, most people are already worried about climate change!

But they:

* don’t know what to do about it
* are flooded w misinfo that the cure is worse than the disease

That’s why:

There are two realities affecting our conversations about climate change: fossil fuel loyalty, and fossil fuel side effect. Many who recognize the first do so by disrespecting the second. Could we have better conversations if both realities were recognized? doctorclimatechange.com/f/the-two-re...
