Week 307 Bega Climate Strike. Extreme flooding in US and Afghanistan, extreme cold in Winsconsin and extreme heat. Almost like it’s a #ClimateEmergency #Bega #ClimateStrike
"...Global temperatures in 2024 and so far in 2025 have been substantially higher than in any year prior to 2015.
Global land areas had their second-warmest March on record in 2025, and global oceans also had their second-warmest March, according to NOAA. ..."

@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caIf you are a climate activist, or anyone concerned about keeping oil in the ground in Canada the most important riding for the environment in this election and in Canada is probably Skeena - Bulkley Valley.
Remember the Northern Gateway Pipeline?
If the NDP's Taylor Bachrach can hold this riding, and the Liberals hold power in Ottawa, then this fight can stay dead and buried where it belongs. You can donate to his campaign here: https://taylorbachrach2025.ndp.ca
If the CPC and Conservative Ellis Ross wins -- he's a long time, oil soaked, climate denying, and divisive former First Nations leader and BC MLA -- expect them to lift the West Coast tanker ban and start another climate war like Clayoquot and Fairy Creek.

The Make Polluters Pay Plan would require big polluters to pay a fee based on their share of the past 20 years of carbon pollution that's been emitted into the atmosphere. The money would then be used to deal with the impacts of climate change and costs of transitioning to a clean energy future.
Topics to include:
· What's in SB 684/AB 1243
· What it would mean for California
· What we can do

Climate crisis on track to destroy capitalism, warns top insurer | Climate crisis | The Guardian

The climate crisis is on track to destroy capitalism, a top insurer has warned, with the vast cost of extreme weather impacts leaving the financial sector unable to operate.
The world is fast approaching temperature levels where insurers will no longer be able to offer cover for many climate risks, said Günther Thallinger, on the board of Allianz SE, one of the world’s biggest insurance companies. He said that without insurance, which is already being pulled in some places, many other financial services become unviable, from mortgages to investments.

Taking strong action to tackle the climate crisis will increase countries’ economic growth, rather than damage their finances as critics of net zero policies have claimed, research from the world’s economic watchdog has found.

(We will have a severe problem much sooner me thinks - like in the coming 5-10 years - because of food insecurity, famines. Last year 40% global crop loss was calculated for 2025 due to weather disasters alone. There's no sense in calculating some imaginary GDP if there's nothing left to eat.)
