#BC #canada The new government plans to repeal the CleanBC Roadmap to 2030, removing the province’s foundational climate action strategy aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 40 per cent by 2030. They will also end the zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) sales quota, and overhaul of the green building Step Code to freely allow the use of gas for heating, hot water and cooking https://saobserver.net/2026/11/04/viewpoint-climate-protection-gains-at-risk-under-new-b-c-government/ #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

The next 4 years of Conservative majority will be a nightmare for public schools. Cuts in funding, persecution of minorities, selling out to big-tech. We will continue the fight. #bcpoli #vancouver #bc

#BC #canada New analysis from Climate Central reveals that global warming likely contributed to the hot and dry conditions during and prior to some major B.C. wildfires this summer. Climate Central used its Climate Shift Index, which is a tool that examines how much more or less human-caused climate change influenced temperatures, to determine how much hotter climate change likely made the weather prior to and during large B.C. wildfires https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/bc-wildfires-climate-change-temperature #ClimateChange #climate

“In a normal park, we estimated there were about 30 species of wild bees,” says Jens Ulrich, a former University of British Columbia (UBC) PhD student who worked with the city between 2021 and 2024 to study the meadows’ ability to attract wild #bees and hoverflies. “In a park with a meadow, we saw that number jump up to something around 60 species per park – per year.” #rewilding #vancouver #bc #pollinators #meadows #parks #urbanrewilding #insects #canada

Citizen of #Canada but resident in US was questioned for hours over voting at #BC border crossing. “The very first thing she asked was, 'Have you ever voted in a federal U.S. election?'" said Adamson.” Adamson, 61, said she told the US border agent she had never voted in a federal election. DHS alleges she falsely claimed she was a US citizen "for the purposes of registering to vote in Whatcom County." DHS alleges she voted in #Washington’s 2018 general election.

#Bike #Vancouver #BC Mobi bikes make 2.4 trips per day, & that it takes 18 bikes to remove tailpipe emissions from one gas-powered car Through this, they found that 54% of Vancouver bike share trips would have otherwise been done in a car, reducing about 298 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year That’s pretty good, but if those bikes were used eight times a day, it would only take five bikes for every one fossil fuel car & reduce tailpipe emissions by more than 3% https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/vancouver-bike-share-climate-benefits #climate

#BC #canada Shea said permafrost “goes fairly deep into the mountainside” and is “basically like a glue that can be holding some of these mountain pieces together.” “And if you thaw it enough, and then you sort of wedge another bit of ice in, it’s just enough to make it topple,” he said. “Rock falls & landslides are going to become more frequent & common as permafrost thaw moves upwards in the mountain regions” https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/bc-rockfalls-landslides-climate-change #ClimateChange #pollution #ecology #environment #climate
