Telling us something that we really didn't know??? But I suppose on the positive, along with details of past and potential future climate change on coastal areas and water supplies, people might begin to take it more seriously and stop subsidising the damage being done to our planet.
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.
#Senate#Democrats opened an investigation on Thurs into #Trump’s meeting w/ #oil & #gas execs last month to determine whether Trump offered a “policies-for-money transaction” [#bribe ] when he asked for $1B for his 2024 campaign so he could retake the White House & delete #POTUS#Biden’s #climate#regulations.
The investigation is the 2nd congressional inquiry into the April 11 fund-raising dinner…. Trump told ~20 oil & gas execs that they would save far more than $1B in avoided #taxes & #legal fees after he repealed #environmental regulations….
#Environmental campaigners have filed a #lawsuit at an #Oslo court challenging #Norway's plan for #seabed mineral exploration, citing insufficient impact assessment of the #mining, the World Wide Fund for #Nature#WWF and its lawyer said on Friday.
Norway's parliament in January approved a proposal to open a vast ocean area larger than Britain for seabed mineral exploration after a government-commissioned study concluded that its impact would be minimal.
Step up for #nature by joining in our first ever stadium #StairClimb at the iconic #BCPlace on Sunday, May 26.
Join as an individual or with a team of friends, family, colleagues, or fellow students. All ages are welcome to participate in this exciting event. http://wwf.ca/bcplace
Welcome to #WaterCanada’s Top 50 #Canadian#WaterProjects. We’re shining a spotlight on some of the biggest and most innovative #water projects in #Canada that aim to improve the delivery of drinking water, the treatment of wastewater, and the management of stormwater.
#GreaterSageGrouse is a remarkable species unlike any other. This iconic species is losing its #habitat. Since 1965, the population has declined by 80%.
The #sagebrush plains are the only place where the greater sage #grouse lives. Losing more habitat to drilling, mining or other human activity would threaten this #bird and its wondrous mating display.
The global rise in #cancer cases has led to an increased use of #CancerDrugs, which are vital for treating the disease. However, these drugs, particularly #cytostatics, are now emerging as a significant #environmental threat. Cytostatics, which slow or stop the growth of cancer cells, are not fully removed by #wastewater treatment plants & can enter aquatic #ecosystems, posing risks to #wildlife & potentially humans.
The #project will include a number of activities, such as the possible #reintroduction of lost wildlife like butterflies, rare #plants & beavers & the moving of #funghi to restore #soil.
If you got upset at me for pointing out that more people died of Covid under Biden than Trump, in large part because Biden rolled back common sense restrictions that were in place under Trump...
Then you'll hate me pointing out that Trump introduced a 25% tariff on Chinese EVs, and Biden is upping that to 100% tariff.
non-existent labor protections, & no real labor unions in Chinese factories = cheap workforce.
worst sourcing standards for raw materials = using cheap minerals from regions with #humanrights & #environmental abuses (see recent Lead The Charge rankings)
I'M CURIOUS what young voters out there calling #Biden "#GenocideJoe" think of #TheOrangeMenace offering to "scrap" U.S. #Environmental policy in exchange for a $1 BILLION dollar donation to his campaign should he be reelected.
As he sat w/some of the country’s top #oil execs at his Mar-a-Lago Club last month, one exec complained how they continued to face burdensome #environmental#regulations despite spending $400M to lobby the #Biden admin…
#Trump’s response stunned several of the executives in the room overlooking the ocean: You all are wealthy enough, he said, that you should raise $1B to return me to the White House. At the dinner, he vowed to immediately reverse dozens of President #Biden’s #environmental rules & policies & stop new ones from being enacted, acc/to people w/knowledge of the meeting…
Giving $1 billion would be a “deal,” Trump said, because of the taxation & regulation they would avoid thanks to him….
#Trump’s remarkably blunt & transactional pitch reveals how he is targeting the #oil industry to finance his reelection bid. At the same time, he has turned to the industry to help shape his #environmental agenda for a second term, including rollbacks of some of #Biden’s signature achievements on #CleanEnergy & #EVs.
Researchers said the study is the 1st to look at [how] the…variety of #environmental problems can compound #disease risks. It combined hundreds of studies & thousands of observations of …— #humans & other mammals, fish, reptiles, amphibians, worms & arthropods — & all kinds of #pathogens, such as #viruses, #bacteria & #fungi.
The analysis reinforced…findings…: a hotter world of ravaged #ecosystems is one that is more hospitable to many #parasites, & less so to humans & other #life.
