“In a time of increasing polarization over climate & a resurgence of climate denialism, focusing on economic arguments is a much safer bet for advancing decarbonization.”

The fight over Billy Bishop is back: Should jets fly from Toronto’s island airport, or will expansion damage the waterfront? @greenprofgreen (@UofT_PolSci) and @DanTisch (@OntarioCofC) discuss noise, environment and economic impact, at11pm with @JeyanTVO | Producer: @constvarlo
In case you haven’t been following at home, the multilateral rules governing deep sea mining are in a VERY precarious place. Either plausible outcome seems…not good. Mini 🧵
2/Best guess? Unilateral US mining will either:
Start a free for all in the deep seabed
Push states to finalize mining regs thru ISA.
Both mean disaster for ocean protection. And the worst part? We don't even need to do this.

Global climate efforts are failing because they do not tackle the power imbalance between fossil and green asset owners. This piece unpacks how fossil fuel elites exploit weak global rules, stalling decarbonization.

My latest for My latest on Existential Politics and climate change in @noemamag. tl:dr: Global climate policy should focus on dollars, not tons of emissions!

Thank you .@GeorgeMonbiot for highlighting the many problems with the #ISDS, which @JosephEStiglitz has referred to as terrorism by litigation. See chap 5 of my book Existential Politics which discusses how ISDS can be a tool for climate policy.

Me in today's @guardian on @MarkJCarney's disastrous new #MOU with #Alberta. A #climate dumpster fire.
Is Carney's oil deal a pipe dream? For the #FirstNations whose harvests and livelihood come from the Pacific Ocean, the threat of a pipeline is more than just a question of climate policy. @UofT_PolSci @UofTenvironment @greenprofgreen comments @guardian. theguardian.com/world/2025/n…
The Carney/Smith MOU is a climate dumpster fire. It's reckless climate and economic policy, paired w/ magical thinking. At least the US has the cojones to say it doesn’t give a shit about climate. @MarkJCarney is still pretending that Canada does. THREAD
7/ ‘Simplifying’ regulatory processes, including a 2 year time limit on permits and approvals. Fast tracking will likely come at the cost of substantive consultations with indigenous groups.
