Efforts to contain two wildfires in northeastern Japan are continuing on the ground and from the air. More than 1,000 hectares have burned so far, forcing thousands to evacuate, and the blazes are spreading.https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20260424_01/#Japan #Wildfires #ExtremeWeather #ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange #NoPipelines

'Bag of bones': Grey whales dying off #VancouverIsland amid lack of foodDeaths in BC are similar to those on the coasts of Washington state (where 15 whales have been found dead in the last couple weeks), Oregon and California.https://www.timescolonist.com/local-news/bag-of-bones-grey-whales-dying-off-vancouver-island-amid-lack-of-food-12184698#Canada #CDNPoli #BCPoli #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #NoPipelines

David Suzuki: "Higher home heating prices. Pollution. Accelerating climate change. Water shortages. Indigenous rights violations. Who wants that? Apparently the obscenely profitable fossil fuel companies, and unimaginative, short-sighted governments banking on outdated ideas to shore up the economy."https://davidsuzuki.org/story/expanding-lng-will-increase-prices-and-pollution/#Canada #CDNPoli #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #NoPipelines #NoLNG #ExtremeWeather #Pollution

https://www.blogto.com/city/2026/04/toronto-electric-ferry-bizarre-radiation-claim/#Canada #Toronto #Ontario #Climatechange #oilgas #Publictransit #Electrification Incredible the degree to which the oil&gas lobby is going to stop electrification of Canada's personal and public transportation methods and how deep they've embedded their agents of misinformation in our elected bodies.

Then there's this: "#Canada, which is sending negotiators but no ministers, is the largest oil and gas producer at the table."What will our negotiators be trying to do? My bet is on slowing the process of moving away from fossil fuels.https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/climate-summit-transition-fossil-fuels-9.7175158#ClimateChange

@minorusaba Interesting, thanks for sharing that!

A delegation of First Nations leaders from British Columbia have come to Calgary to relay a message to pipeline executives face-to-face — steer clear of investing in a new bitumen pipeline to the northwest coast or risk a prolonged legal fight.https://www.timescolonist.com/the-mix/coastal-bc-first-nation-leaders-go-to-calgary-to-dissuade-pipeline-investors-12180320#Canada #CDNPoli #BCPoli #ABPoli #FirstNations #BritishColumbia #Calgary #Alberta #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #NoPipelines

The poor and middle pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the very rich pay lawyers – and the ultra-rich pay politicians.The billionaire death cult that steers humanity’s destiny doesn’t do existential crises. One of the symptoms of the pathology known as “billionaire brain” is an inability to see beyond their own short-term gain. They would sack the planet for a few more stones on the pointless mountain of wealth. And we can see it happening.#climateChange #climateCatastrophe #climateEmergency #climateBreakdown #tippingPointhttps://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/apr/23/catastrophic-climate-event-scientists-atlantic-system-collapse-billionaire-existential-crisis

@Npars01 If the buggy whip industry was as powerful, they’d have tarred and feathered Henry Ford and run him out of town, never to be seen again. Kind of what GM, big oil diesel suppliers and Firestone did to the electric interurban rail system in the US to promote their busses.

Happy Earth Day! This is the first Earth Day in several years that I haven't either been launching a book or celebrating in some way. (It's completely because *gestures to everything*) Next year, I'll celebrate extra!For now, here's a few hopeful climate reads to add to your pile...🧵#climatechange #bookstodon

Happy #EarthDay! Here at @newsmast we curate a lot of content about the natural world. We make feeds you can sample, follow, and remix. And, as you'd expect from the Fediverse community we rely on, they are eclectic, insightful and passionate. For example, on our @climatechange channel today you can catch up on petro-masculinity, an extended pollen season and the environmental impact of data centres... #ClimateChange

@hadon What exactly would you have them do if the rest of the world can't cut their consumption of everything?Again, I'm not a China supporter, but each of those articles describes a reason for why they're doing what they're doing. The "hype" still in general describes how much effort and capacity around renewables they're bringing online, and if we all weren't consuming so much crap, they could settle down and start cutting more emissions while continuing to build the cheaper electricity.I would be more focused on helping the AI bubble pop.

@edwiebe At the CBC it's political subversion, the "Rex Murphication" of Editorial.#cbc

@Free_Press such a cute pup!!

@bougiewonderland Absolutely agree, 100%. He skipped past the item so quickly, and his record on this topic is so shady, that we can't take anything he says about it in his PR events at face value.

Former environment minister Catherine McKenna says the leaders of Canada's oil industry are figures close to US President Donald Trump who are "taking us for fools" and putting both our economy and environment at risk:https://www.timescolonist.com/national-news/former-minister-catherine-mckenna-blasts-the-heads-of-canadian-oil-companies-12162937#Canada #CDNPoli #ClimateCrisis #NoPipelines #ClimateChange
