The oil trader bros and analysts are increasingly looking like archaeologists. Experts in yesterday's world. Combing through the ruins trying to Divine the future from the past, using an increasingly dying language to describe it

Our 70 Climate Governance Experts across Canada give their time to have conversations with boards of directors. Without them our work would not be possible. We thank them for their contributions to our mission. ccli.ubc.ca/annualreport2023… @CarolHansell @WDuskGroup @ESPESP @Vrosalie

"As we look back on the past year, it has been an incredible journey of supporting Canada’s shift towards a net-zero carbon economy. The urgency of climate action has never been more evident." -@carolmliao ccli.ubc.ca/annualreport2023… @UBCSauderSchool @AllardLaw

"And changing provincial policies in Ontario and Alberta in particular have driven away both domestic and international investment over the last decade, according to solar industry experts."
Premiers Ford & Smith: Solar is the cheaper, cleaner option. So why penalize Canadians?
Solar is now the cheapest option for new sources of electricity in much of the world, and the Dutch are all in. cbc.ca/news/climate/solar-po… .

If we get the energy transition right, it could support economic reconciliation, help address the climate crisis & issues of affordability & fairness, improve health, create jobs, & serve as a new model for the world. ccli.ubc.ca/indigenous-owner… @forward_summit @WDuskGroup

I personally love when anti-solar advocates use land and mineral use as an argument. It's an own goal. Aside from the ability to recycle solar, it uses orders of magnitude less resources, and is orders of magnitude more efficient than land for biofuels.

It's all math folks. Fossil fuel use for transport, electricity generation peaking/peaked. Next energy conservation/heat pumps for heating theguardian.com/environment/…

Ahem Canadians: Poland has less land and less insolation than we do

This is why the debates on the reliability and waste of solar is ridiculous. It is a solid state tech, with warranties of up to 40yrs! After that it still works and can be recycled. Compared to this,thermal gen(incl nuke) is literally steam punk

COP28 is now on the verge of complete failure. The world desperately needs to phase out fossil fuels as quickly as possible, but this obsequious draft reads as if OPEC dictated it word for word. It is even worse than many had feared. It is “Of the Petrostates, By the Petrostates and For the Petrostates.” It is deeply offensive to all who have taken this process seriously. There are 24 hours left to show whose side the world is on: the side that wants to protect humanity’s future by kickstarting the orderly phase out of fossil fuels or the side of the petrostates and the leaders of the oil and gas companies that are fueling the historic climate catastrophe. In order to prevent COP28 from being the most embarrassing and dismal failure in 28 years of international climate negotiations, the final text must include clear language on phasing out fossil fuels. Anything else is a massive step backwards from where the world needs to be to truly address the climate crisis and make sure the 1.5°C goal doesn’t die in Dubai.

Sperm whales have equivalents to human vowels.
We uncovered spectral properties in whales’ clicks that are recurrent across whales, independent of traditional types, and compositional.
We got clues to look into spectral properties from our AI interpretability technique CDEV.

“To decarbonize a community is to really decolonize a community.” Dave Isaac @WDuskGroup nails it in my @macleans piece. For me, it’s THE change Canada must undergo to transition from fossil fuels - a shift from unsustainable extraction to an ethic of renewal, a decolonization.
Very pleased to participate in great journalism as we are immersed in real-time climate change while envisioning a new future:

Switching to clean electricity will save Canadians money.
Our research shows that Canadians will spend 12% less (on avg) on energy by 2050 than they do today when they switch off fossil fuels to power their homes, vehicles and businesses with clean electricity. Learn more: climateinstitute.ca/reports/… #cdnpoli

We are moving to an economic system where the source of energy is not the focus (oil,coal) but conversion of free and plentiful energy (solar, wind). Similarly, a decoupling of GDP/energy will occur, with a focus on energy efficiency. There will be bumps, but we will be better1/
