BERLIN — German lawmakers have finalized the country’s long-awaited phase-out of coal as an energy source, backing a plan that environmental groups say isn’t ambitious enough and free marketeers criticize as a waste of taxpayers’ money.

Makes one wonder what Canada is doing…

Fish more vulnerable to warming water than first thought
Until now, biologists had just studied adult fish. For adult fish,
around 2% to 3% of the species would be in the too-hot zone in the year

WINNIPEG, Manitoba/OTTAWA, July 2 (Reuters) – Canada’s Supreme Court removed an obstacle to expansion of the Trans Mountain oil pipeline on Thursday, dismissing an appeal of a lower court decision that had backed Ottawa’s approval of the project.
The top court posted the decision online without elaborating.

He has promised to reduce Canadian emissions and improve indigenous relations, but faced pressure to help the slumping oil industry critical to the national economy.
The federal Liberal government bought the Trans Mountain Pipeline from Kinder Morgan. I don’t think they will let anyone or anything stop it.
