Felonious Trump’s a fucking fool and a liar; bigger fools are those who worship him. Trump said Kamala Harris would ban frac’ing in Pennsylvania if she’s elected president, which he knows no president has the power to do.
Frac’ing needs to be criminalized globally. My water hauling tank holds 185 gallons. I make one load last me weeks. How long can you live on 185 gallons of water in your home? Fact check: A president can’t ban fracking … Continue reading

“Very worrying” study: Methane pollution still rising rapidly, mostly caused by humans; Growth rates now higher than any past observed year. IEA says oil and gas sector *could* cut their emissions 40% at no net cost. Sure, they “could” but won’t, they’ll lie and rape out more profits and more deadly methane. Meanwhile, Insurance Bureau of Canada says Calgary’s 2024 hail storm cost $2.8B in insured damages, second costliest Canadian climate change disaster after Fort McMurray’s 2016 wildfire. Hello super polluter Alberta, stop blaming Trudeau for your greed, selfishness, corruption and lies.
I expect the industry and its enablers like AER don’t give a shit about the IEA or life on earth and will not work to reduce methane or carbon emissions. Instead, they and their corrupt politicians like Dildo Danielle and … Continue reading

Dear CAPE, Stop enabling frac’ers! Calling again for yet more study (after decades and many hundreds of studies already) and regulation is synergy, which only aids frac’ers.

Who will walk the dog when everyone has Long COVID? As health authorities/politicians (notably super stupid TBA-led Smith’s UCP in Alberta) cater to anti-health, anti-science, anti-intelligence anti-vaxxers; remove health protections like easy to use N95 masks even in care and health facilities (how stupid is that?); intentionally destroy public health care to enrich their rich pals; lie to us, deny that SARSCoV2 is airborne and can kill kids (here’s looking at social murderer Dr. Bonnie Henry) and healthy athletes; and tell us the pandemic is over so that we go back to over-consuming, over-polluting, over-travelling, making billionaires richer while destroying earth’s livability.

Finally!
