The documentary was not broadcast in #Canada. Hansen said the reason B.C.’s wood pellet industry is a focus in #UnitedKingdom is the #Drax Power Station in #England.
#BCNDP#ChiefForester Diane Nicholls attended a #WoodPellet#TradeShow in 2019. After supporting the industry’s controversial growth in BC, she left the ministry of forests for a job with the UK company that now dominates the new industry in #BritishColumbia.
This analysis focuses on north central BC, where all material feeding #Drax’s pellet mills originates from #PrimaryForest, whether it arrives directly from #logging operations or byproduct from sawmills. Majority of commercial logging taking place in BC is of #OldGrowth#forests.
That's what Fort Good Hope leaders told commissioners with The #CanadaEnergyRegulator at an "oral #Indigenous knowledge" hearing on the future of Norman Wells field held in the community last week.

#PaperExcellence has hired McMillan at least six times over the last six years to advise on more than $6 billion US in transactions, including its takeovers of #forestry companies #CatalystPaper, #Domtar & #ResoluteForestProducts. It also represented a Paper Excellence subsidiary in a dispute with CN Rail.
Multiple #legal#ethics experts said they felt the FSC's decision to hire McMillan was problematic.
Just sold full wall canvas version of my Extinction photo art, 30 minutes ago 😃 My first big sale for photo art in 2 years. I'm getting paid extra, because my customer wants the image to be smoothly spread out over a huge wallspace.
Horror upon horror, where are the Palestinian people supposed to live?
"Gaza’s 37M tonnes of bomb-filled debris could take 14 yrs to clear, says expert. Clearing & rebuilding them will be slow & dangerous work bc of the threat from shells, missiles or other weapons buried in collapsed or damaged buildings. On average ~10% of weapons failed to detonate when they were fired & had to be removed by demining teams."
"Someone needs to explain to me why wanting clean drinking water makes you an activist. and why proposing to destroy water with chemical warfare doesn't make a corporation a terrorist."

🤏 Un tout petit chèque. Rien de 500 millions d’euros. C’est le montant d’argent public bientôt alloué à des projets miniers.
👋 Cela fait plus d’un mois que nous alertons le ministère des Finances sur la nécessité de garantir que son nouveau fonds d’investissement ne finance ni déforestation, ni violations de droits humains. Mais comme jusque là ils nous ignorent, on a essayé comme ça !
🚘 La demande de minerais critiques destinés aux technologies de la #transition énergétique, notamment les véhicules électriques devrait être x4 d’ici 2040… Et avec elle l’impact de l’exploitation minière sur les #forêts et populations locales.
🤡 Mais cela n’a pas l’air d’inquiéter le ministre des Finances qui est un train de signer un « chèque en blanc » pour l’industrie minière, et ce sans aucune concertation.
⛏️ La plus grande mine de nickel au monde, qui menace des peuples autochtones et leurs forêts pourrait notamment bénéficier de ce fonds d’investissement. Retrouvez notre enquête sur ce scandale ici
Australia's Great Barrier Reef hit by record bleaching
> Australia's spectacular Great Barrier Reef is experiencing its worst #bleaching event on record, the country's reef authority reported on Wednesday (Apr 17).
it shows that a lot of y’all have no twenty-somethings in your life looking at the #genocide of Palestinians in #Gaza & discussing it as another reason to ban #fossilFuels and make #ecocide a real crime.
Zoomers have long made the connection of “no blood for oil”, #climateCrisis and warmongering like #Russia invading #Ukraine and #Israel decimating Palestinians for their land & natural gas reserves.
THIS IS THE REAL CRISIS, how y’all alienating the largest voting block in USA history. /🧵
Climate Defiance, a climate activist group focused on young adults, says that up to 48 percent of tree cover and farmland in the strip has been torched and 23 percent of greenhouses have been destroyed in their entirety.
“This is not ‘just’ about nature. This is about the food and the air and the water and the land being deprived of life. It is about a whole population being denied its sustenance.”
Exclusive: Satellite analysis revealed to the Guardian shows farms devastated and nearly half of the territory’s trees razed. Alongside mounting air and water pollution, experts says Israel’s onslaught on Gaza’s ecosystems has made the area unlivable
Good to see President Biden strengthen Endangered Species Act protections for biodiversity and imperiled species. We want to see more, and as co-chair of the Endangered Species Act Caucus, I'll keep pushing to fix the damage Trump did to the ESA.
The world is watching. No #genocide happens without mass #ecocide too. Unforgivable decisions by #USgov - #warmongering government responsible for murdering my family members in #Vietnam & your government owes reparations for #WarCrimes. We never forgot. Neither will Palestinians or other victims of US funded #massacres on #humanity.
In addition to the grave humanitarian crisis, another destrucion takes place in Gaza.
The invasion has led to a significant environmental crisis, with widespread destruction of farmland, orchards, and greenhouses, raising concerns about the ability of the population to grow food.
The scale and potential long-term impact of the environmental damage have prompted calls for investigations into whether these acts constitute war crimes or #ecocide
