50% Global Emissions Cut Would Avoid Severe Climate Impacts to Tropics – The Energy Mix
But if countries carry on with their inadequate response to the
climate crisis, extreme sea level rise and major GDP losses in those
regions will continue for decades and centuries to come, the think tank says.

The U.S. government’s recent attempts to exclude TikTok and other Chinese tech companies from owning social media networks and apps set a dangerous precedent that challenges global democracy.
While the reasons may appear valid, the impact may undermine the notion of a free internet, writes Philip Mai at Ryerson’s Social Media Lab today in The Conversation Canada.
If the U.S. government is successful, and Chinese-owned tech companies may no longer operate in the country, the implication is that governments will be able to control the internet by establishing regulations around who can own platforms — and this has the potential to undermine how the internet has functioned so far.

Ontario Yours to Protect! – Zombie quarry stalks Burlington’s Escarpment – Environmental Defence
They are also alarmed by the increasing heavy gravel truck traffic on the rural roads and the irritation caused by the dust and vibration associated with the blasting and the trucks used to haul the rock.
Additional concerns include the possibility of contaminated fill being added to Nelson Aggregate’s current quarry site and the threatening impact this could have on the future safety of drinking well water.
If the quarry goes ahead it will lead to the permanent destruction of 124 additional acres of prime farmland and green space in the increasingly urban GTHA. Promises of future restoration decades into the future do not offset the impacts of the destruction of these precious open spaces in Burlington’s backyard.
Ontario Yours to Protect! – Zombie quarry stalks Burlington’s Escarpment – Environmental Defence: After having their application rejected in 2012 due to its risks to wildlife and the quantity and quality of the local water supply, Nelson Aggregates are again seeking approval to create two new open-pit mines in Burlington’s escarpment, betting the looser environmental rules now in place will allow it to move ahead.
