"Because Trump" or the more euphemistic "because the world has changed" is the favourite thought-terminating cliché of Carney supporters. Offer any evidence-based criticism of any Carney policy & you will hear that these unusually dangerous times require it. But he's making us *more* vulnerable. 🧵1/

Costs of further fossil fuel expansion: civilization collapse agricultural collapse economic collapse "Benefits" of further fossil fuel expansion: very temporarily increasing short term profits for primarily foreign fossil fuel shareholders on the way to causing the death of billions Tough call.

You're "not saying" that we should ignore the science, you're merely repeatedly demanding that we should be basing our national policies on ignoring the science and doing the exact opposite of what the evidence shows us about both the ecosystem and the economy. Got it. Sad lack of virtue signal.

You cannot combine goals of expanding the fossil fuel industry during the climate crisis with science that is very clear it's utterly catastrophic to do so. The "best decision we can make" is not climate arson. Just as you can't combine goals of being healthy with poisoning your water supply,

Actually, every time you pretend that there's a wise "balance" in policy that turns the globe into an unliveable hellscape, you are declaring yourself to be a science denier. If you don't want to be called a science denier, it's really simple: stop denying the science. It's that easy.

Credible scientific inquiry expands the edifice of scientific understanding ever further, building upon the findings that have been firmly established with greater nuance and additional well defined complexity. Kevvy & his ilk insist we tear down the foundations over and over again instead.

Every science-rejecting ideologue pretends that science is about rejecting everything from gravity to the link between cigarettes & lunfg cancer over and over again despite a preponderance of evidence in hopes of getting different answers from established science. It isn't.

It's not "cult members" who respond rationally to five sigma level scientific evidence - the very best that exists on any topic - presented by the largest collective scientific effort in history. Cult membership is solely for deliberate rejection of evidence of the sort you're demonstrating.

International Energy Agency: by the time new Canadian LNG projects can come online there will be a 65 million cubic metro glut of oversupply in a collapsing market Kevvy: But producing unwanted oversupply by devastating our ecosystem can only strengthen our economy! Not remotely credible, FFS.

There is no "right balance" of ecocide to be struck, just as there's no "right balance" of whether or not to feed your family botulinum toxins. No "reasonable & informed" person seeks to destabilize ecosystem services vital to our basic survival. Collective suicide has zero to do with reasonable.

When new evidence provides an update to our scientific understanding, malicious disinformers pretend that this is "proof that the science was wrong" instead of clear evidence that the science which was already correct has continued to improve and respond appropriately to the newest evidence.

Indeed, the IPCC removed SSP 8.5 from future assessments, which is not in any way "walking back" any previous finding, but merely recognizing evidence that nations other than Canada & the US are successfully taking the issue more seriously & have changed our collective trajectory as a result.

Standard troll behaviour: Kevvy rejects every piece of cited evidence he dislikes while simultaneously insisting that he is the only arbiter of what counts as evidence or does not. 100% an indicator of someone wholly uninterested in evidence based discussion while spreading disinformation.
