Today the International Energy Agency released its latest World Energy Outlook. For the first time ever, there is no scenario that sees continued, long-term growth of *any* fossil fuel, including natural gas.
A🧵:

This is really mind blowing. Read this. All of it.

It's an interesting mix of old and new, in Eby's senior staff.
But Salter is a strong signal from Eby of a major, major shift in the civil service. New blood. Fresh face. Big changes coming.

'What if this thing being described as climate action ends up being counterproductive???'

It's nice that so many are suddenly asking this. Now please apply it to:

- Corporate net zero targets
- Offsets
- Hydrogen, CCS, carbon removal, SAFs, synfuels
- 'Transition' fossil fuels

Is your government pushing for new #oil & #gas ? 🤔

⚠️ Developing any new oil & gas fields will prevent the world from limiting #globalwarming to 1.5°C, or create stranded assets.

It is truly bizarre that prominent US climate figures like Prof Michael E. Mann accused the first pair of soup throwers of being oil industry agents attempting to block climate action.

But what's more bizarre is the implied theory of change behind this accusation. 1/

I don't know who needs to hear this but if you're not willing to fight balls to the wall for a habitable, equitable planet for future generations, you're not on the left.

Before LNG exports from BC was a thing, asbestos exports from BC was a thing. Asbestos started to be regulated in the 80s and was finally completely banned a few years ago.
Cassiar asbestos (the reason the Stewart-Cassiar highway is called the Stewart-Cassiar highway)

A story. Athabasca Oil Sands, perhaps largest industrial development in the world, has 1.6 trillion litres of untreated tailings impounded. Industry & Govts promised from 1990s this staggering enviro liability would be managed through future technology innovation. 1/4 #cdnpoli

PSA: be as pissed as you want about what happened - but we don’t elect premiers. We elect MLAs and the party chooses its leader. Eby is not “unelected.” And unless you live in his riding you don’t get to vote for him in the next general election either. #WeAreNotAmerican

1. Anjali Appadurai is a soulful human who approaches politics differently. When I engage with her, it feels relational not transactional. She has deep integrity & true clarity of vision, while always welcoming my constructive criticism. We need to support people like this. /2

Whoa. CBCEarlyEdition:
Fmr NDP Premier Ujjal Dosanjh on Appadurai's disqualification after he says party membership jumped from 11K in Aug to 40-45K now
Quinn: Do you think Appadurai could have beaten Eby?
Dosanjh: Oh absolutely otherwise the party wouldn't have disqualified her

Which better reflects your view: Anjali Appadurai ___________ so BC NDP found that she _________. #bcpoli

Anjali Appadurai disqualified from BC NDP leadership race for flagrantly motivating electorate

No river. No water. No salmon. TWN field crew shared this clip from the Indian River in our territory this week. This is the climate emergency. Cancel TMX now.

I'm preparing to preach from Romans 12:17-21 and I think I could spend my whole life just thinking about 'Do not take revenge, beloved.'

Beloved, you do not need to take revenge, because you are not fighting for yourself in this world. You are dearly loved by God.

As far as I can tell, Elizabeth Cull is not an Oil and Gas industry lobbyist. Lobbying on behalf of local governments (even pro-LNG local governments) does not qualify.
