Climate Progress and Pushback: 365 Days Under Labour

100% Left coverage: 1 sources
The July 2024 general election saw a major shift in the UK’s approach to tackling climate change. The incoming Labour government made ambitious pledges to cut emissions and switch to green energy, with a target of “clean power” by 2030 and support for on and offshore wind. These moves have been welcomed by the Climate Change Committee (CCC), the government’s independent advisory body, which has said cutting emissions to net zero by 2050 is possi…Climate Change · ReadingSee the Story

Who’s the Fossil Fuel-Backed “Philosopher” Shaping Trump’s Megabill Clean Energy Cuts?

67% Left coverage: 3 sources
After Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC) denounced the law once known as the “Big Beautiful Bill,” largely over its proposed Medicaid cuts, which he said would threaten insurance coverage for many North Carolinians, he called out the bill’s problematic approach to energy — and one climate crisis denier credited with helping to craft those provisions, in particular. “It’s another classic example where think tanks and people that haven’t worked a day in b…Wildfires · North CarolinaSee the Story

Climate campaigners turned out on Wednesday in London to occupy the lobby of UK-based communications giant WPP, demanding that the company stop working for the fossil fuel industry. As demonstrators inside staged a “die-in” — wrapping themselves in shrouds emblazoned with logos of Shell, BP, and other WPP clients — a grim reaper figure in front of the building climbed atop a mock-up of an oil rig and set off a plume of black–coloured smoke.

Just hours before advocating for a resumption of coal mining in Alberta during a contentious town hall meeting, Premier Danielle Smith was arguing her province’s natural gas resources could help displace coal use abroad. “By moving more natural gas, we can also help countries transition away from higher emitting fuels, such as coal,” Smith said during her keynote address to the Global Energy Show Canada, which took place in Calgary earlier this …Danielle Smith · CalgaryRead Article

Alberta Is Making It Even Harder to Develop Renewable Energy

100% Left coverage: 1 sources
Close observers of Alberta politics might be forgiven for wondering if official announcements are actual attempts at public policy, or performative trolling on behalf of the oil patch. Case in point is the latest kneecapping of the province’s once-booming renewable energy sector by imposing what might be the most onerous reclamation requirements of any jurisdiction in the world. On June 4, the Alberta Utilities Commission released their Code of …Alberta · AlbertaRead Article
