I asked #ChatGPT4 to explain #ClimateChange in the voice of #Shakespeare. The result is quite extraordinary:

#CCS remains expensive & unproven despite decades of investment. It's not a reliable solution to reduce Canada’s oil & gas emissions: bit.ly/3Rxw51H
The bottom line? 🇨🇦 should stop subsidizing #CCS, invest in future industries, & set a stringent oil & gas emissions cap.

I woke up to the great news that HSBC had pledged to stop financing new oil and gas. I got to work to learn RBC has cut the Canadian unit out as part of its merger deal: ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/hs… via @Yahoo

🔴 We’re LIVE from #COP27!
How can #energy scenarios guide 🇨🇦's public investments & help align policies with #climate goals?

A new quarter, but no new progress. Despite a historic year for profits and cashflow, oilsands companies are still not releasing detailed, concrete plans to cut their emissions – instead, they’re still rewarding their shareholders. ow.ly/woaL50LA2kZ

Massive gas expansion risks overtaking positive climate policies. Our COP27 global update finds govts' focus on energy crisis has replaced #ClimateAction. Proposed, approved & under-construction #LNG projects globally likely to send emissions way past 1.5. bit.ly/3UMnyIG

BREAKING: at #COP27, the UN Secretary General’s high-level expert group is releasing a new standard to turn empty net-zero commitments into meaningful climate action. Stick with me for details - it’s very good news 🧵

Thread: Big things I think this column gets wrong re the battle over GHG cap on oil & gas:
1. The companies haven't promised to invest $24B;
2. The companies are running a pretty nasty campaign against the proposed regulation, via a front group. thestar.com/politics/politic… #cdnpoli

Belated thread on what IEA's 2022 World Energy Outlook says re Canada. TL/DR: If world makes serious progress on current commitments (APS scenario), Canadian oil & gas production plummet (as global demand falls), but there are big opportunities in energy transition #cdnpoli

Today the @IEA released its latest World Energy Outlook. For the first time ever, there is no scenario that sees continued, long-term growth of *any* fossil fuel, including natural gas.

Ok. I would like to contest this dangerous idea that Canada can make lower climate investments because it has carbon pricing
See 🧵below
"We're looking for ways to be competitive with what the US is now doing with the IRA. But we have different approaches. Canada has carbon pricing and the US needs more regulations and fed funding because they do no have carbon pricing" - @JustinTrudeau

Idiotic editorial from the @nationalpost blindly repeats 2 of the most basic fallacies about the transition from fossil-fuel economies to alternative-energy economies. (1/3)

This is an under-told story, and essential to understanding 🇨🇦 GHG emissions. Simply put, oil & gas, and specifically oil sands, are adding emissions as fast as we can squeeze them out of the rest of the economy.

This is why Canada's (property) insurance industry is getting worked up about adaptation policy - now if only we can convince them to stop making the crisis worse via their investments.

This isn't a line. After years of doing climate research, I absolutely believe this to be true:
“What a time to be alive!” is not a phrase you’d expect to hear from a climate scientist.
But in his TEDx talk, professor @simondonner explains why we are living at a moment of immense opportunity & why imagination is key to solving the climate crisis.

The global growth of EVs will be turbocharged by the US Inflation Reduction Act & moves by other major economies.
By 2030, *one out of every two cars* sold in China, the EU & the US is set to be electric, based on new @IEA analysis. EVs' global market share to reach nearly 40%.
Check out a new brief by @AaronCosbey that explains why Canada needs to plan for declining oil production.
What is the future of global #oil demand?
A new @IISD_news brief shows realistic @IEA scenarios point to a permanent & sustained decline as soon as 2030. As a major producer, 🇨🇦 must plan for a future beyond oil & gas.
