Several years ago, members from our team spent a lot of time to help train an AI tool called #cards

So, it's cool to see CARDS put to good use and bearing fruit as the underlying tool utilized to create @CCDHate's report about "The New Climate Denial"!

Favorite pull quote: "“There is no relationship between hurricane activity and the surface temperature of the
planet." Take a moment to fully unpack, savor that. 🙂

What a small mind. What a coward. How weak. It wasn't a climate-smart, diverse grid that damned near failed in Alberta this weekend & needed to rely on its neighbours, it was the fossil fuelled, most privatized energy grid in all of Canada that did that

"Impossible." Rest of the world's racing towards it. One of Canadian history's greatest cowards/traitors to his people's future, all so oil boss pals can keep stuffing their pockets right up until the music stops for good. #DanielleSmith's somehow even worse

The Oxford study concludes that seeing CCS as “a way to compensate for ongoing fossil fuel burning is economically illiterate.”

Lessons to learn from emergency alerts, the Texas power grid:

Albertans love to scoff at the disaster that seems to strike Texas every time there is a cold snap. “Why can’t they run a grid that can survive freezing temperatures? Really? Look what we endure and we keep power”

Rebel News "personalities" are NOT journalists.

Canadian Assoc of Journalists;

"Much like a press gallery, the CAJ restricts our Class A membership to professional journalists... employees of Rebel News would not meet our criteria."

Your occasional reminder that TRUMP ALREADY LOST the NY AG civil fraud case.

The judge ruled Trump is LIABLE FOR FRAUD.

The main question for the trial was MATH -- how much Trump will have to pay NY State.

So again: Trump already lost the game, the only question is how badly

Time to dust off this interview from a year ago.

Oil and gas no longer driving prosperity in Alberta - CD Howe Institute

The CD Howe Institute.

When it says the oil/gas industry is already on the back 9, we really should listen.

The proposed LNG terminal would be on a floating platform at the mouth of the Nass River bordering the Alaska Panhandle. The facility aims to produce 12 million tonnes of LNG a year. A major new pipeline would be needed to carry fracked methane gas from northeastern B.C. to the terminal, where it would be liquified and loaded on tankers for shipment to Asia
