“What if we put solar panels on every roof in the world?”

Johanna Wagstaffe, Meteorologist and Seismologist for the CBC, is truly a woman after my own heart because this is exactly the dorky kind of back-of-the-napkin exercise I stay up into the wee hours of the morning figuring out. And she found a study were scientists actually did the calculations for real and turns out, it would make a real measurable impact.

We need to do this maybe not on every roof, but certainly on every roof that makes sense in every town, city and village in the world.

I am going to put this out there.

When he is sworn in, Mark Carney will be the strongest Prime Minister on Climate Policy and transitioning the economy away from Fossil Fuels that Canada has ever had.

His credentials on making climate policy are nearly as strong as his economic experience.

"You have said that the goal of net zero is the greatest commercial opportunity of our time. Why?”

"Climate change is an existential threat. We all recognize that, and there’s increasing urgency around it. But the converse is, if you are making investments, coming up with new technologies, changing the way you do business, all in service of reducing and eliminating that threat, you are creating value. And what we have seen increasingly, spurred initially by the Sustainable Development Goals, accelerated by Paris, and then by social movements and governments, is societies putting tremendous value on achieving net zero. Companies, and those who invest in them and lend to them, and who are part of the solution, will be rewarded. Those who are lagging behind and are still part of the problem will be punished.”

Continued thread

After mine wastewater spilled into the Smoky River for at least 17 hours, posing a risk to aquatic life downstream, the AER levied a $9,000 fine.

You heard that right. $9,000 is pocket change to a coal mining company.

Coal wastewater frequently contains selenium, a substance toxic to fish and people.

“Now all the passenger vehicles for sale in its showroom are electric (EV).
"We think it's wrong to advise a customer coming in here today to buy an ICE [internal combustion engine] car, because the future is electric," says chief executive Ulf Tore Hekneby, as he walks around the cars on display. "Long-range, high-charging speed. It's hard to go back."”

Dezember-Spezial: heute war unser Demozug von der #RWE-Zentrale zum Hauptbahnhof #Essen. Leider waren wir nur 16 Leute und mussten auf dem Gehweg statt auf der Straße gehen. Ich sag mal so: mehr Leute für Klimaschutz wäre schön. #Energiewende braucht Menschen!

Der Kohleanteil im Energiemix ist gerade im November und Dezember erschütternd hoch! RWE ist einer von Europas größten #Klimagas-Erzeugern und baggert rücksichtslos Dörfer, Äcker, Kulturgüter für die eigenen Profite weg. RWE macht weiter Rekordgewinne mit fossilen Energien. Auf unsere Kosten!
