“Canada’s #NationalObserver reported a supposedly independent, third-party report that #Enbridge—Ontario’s gas utility—commissioned to argue for natural gas contains data that erroneously inflated the cost of switching from #NaturalGas to electricity for home heating. The company has cited the inaccurate information to try to convince the utility commission and the public to let it expand natural gas pipe capacity in the province.” https://gratefuldread.masto.host/@gratefuldread/110939652504368160

#NationalObserver: The world’s plan to protect nature recognizes #Indigenous rights, but worries over #GreenColonialism remain

Early Monday morning, countries finalized a plan to protect nature at the #COP15 #biodiversity conference in #Montreal. It was a bittersweet deal for some Indigenous Peoples, with both victories and major concerns.

Chris Hatch's latest #ZeroCarbon newsletter goes deep on #BCpoli's recent commitment to a climate-aligned energy plan. Ample consideration of the implications for other provinces, who should be under increasing pressure to fall in line. Plus a handy metric for tracking provincial and national progress toward net zero: end-use demand by fuel (see attached, image not actually sensitive aside from the climate implications of such heavy fossil fuel dependence).

Hatch also plugs David McKie’s new podcast #HotPolitics, the latest episode of which focuses on industry disinformation in conversation with investigative journalist @amywestervelt
