Are we really prepared for the effects of climate change in Canada, from fires to drought? @zerocarbon covers climate for the National Observer and brings his perspective today on The Bridge.
Listen at noon EST on @CanadaTalks167, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Off to a Sizzling Start @zerocarbon on how we have just experienced a 12-month period of more than 1.5 C, five of the deadliest wildfires in the planet have occurred this year, the most recent took over a hundred lives in Chile last week with hundreds still missing. 70 per cent of Canada is currently classified as “Abnormally Dry” or in “Moderate to Exceptional Drought,” including 81 per cent of agricultural lands. In a ray of hope, Europe got more electricity from wind than from gas last year. nationalobserver.com/newslet…

There is a ton of misinformation in my replies so here is a primer on permafrost carbon. Permafrost stores a HUGE amount of carbon because ancient life took up CO2, built biomass, then died. That organic matter (~50% C) slowly accrued in Earth's best freezer for 1000s of yrs. 1/

Heat pumps are "as close to magic as things get in the climate world"
and
"they’re outlandishly, even perplexingly, efficient".
Well said @zerocarbon @NatObserver!
And honoured to be called "one of Europe’s heat pump gurus" 😄

Big news out of Montreal - a ban on new gas hookups for most new buildings.
Cities can be leaders in the fight against #climatechange, and they're right to target #fossil gas for its impacts on our health and our climate.

All our homes, cars & trucks produce less climate pollution than methane leaking from oil & gas industry. Also cities banning gas & rivers are drying up effecting hydropower and causing mass deaths of pink river dolphins in this weeks @zerocarbon #cdnpoli nationalobserver.com/newslet…

When it comes to #Methane leaks, Canada is punching above its weight - and not in a good way: nationalobserver.com/2023/10… #Methane #LNG
