When Fox News lies, people die | We explain on PBS Newshour how the antiscience disinformation spread by the Murdoch media empire and especially Fox News, likely lead to hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths in the U.S. And that's just COVID-19. Their fossil fuel disinformation is as deadly.

Media Release: Constituents to Ask MPs to “Meet the Moment” on Climate Action

The good news is that the transformation of our economy will not be linear, and change is already underway. Our MPs must meet the moment, and we want them to know we support them in doing so.

Yes. And they could also get resource projects to pay their fare share .. and not provide them with reduced electricity and water

BC friends, important piece by @iglikaivanova.bsky.social

She writes: BC’s own source revenue—taxes, fees & royalties—has plummeted from 19.2% to 15.4% of GDP over 25 years. This drop represents $16.8 billion in foregone revenues annually."

Tax cuts drive the deficit; progressive tax ⬆️ needed 👇

Seth Klein @sethdklein.bsky.social · 13d

BC folks! Outstanding piece here by @iglikaivanova.bsky.social, co-ED of @bcpolicy.bsky.social.

BC has a revenue problem, not a spending problem

The solution to BC’s fiscal challenges isn’t spending cuts. Instead, BC needs progressive revenue measures.

🔥 New study: LNG facilities flare *3x more gas* during start-up than regular operations — a phase that can last 2 years. But 🇨🇦 LNG projects don't include start-up flaring in environmental assessments. So regulators are vastly underestimating air pollution and health risks for nearby communities.

"It's presented as a cars versus bike scenario, which just fundamentally misunderstands geometry & how cities actually work. We know protected bike lanes work better for everyone, including drivers. That #BikeLanes are a 'war on cars' is a deliberate lie to get your vote or your click."
