James Byrne: We must act fast, push for change and dump fossil fuels; “Health-care costs alone are a great reason to get the hell off of fossil fuels”

Gong Show! Oil and gas industry self-regulator, AER, after blaming nature, “regulates” Obsidian Energy *only* because researchers make their study public on the 2022 damaging, record-breaking 5.6M industry-induced earthquake at Peace River, and media, including Tyee, reported on it. Corrupt AER cowards led by just another scandal-ridden old white “dickhead.” Obsidian shares fell 4% by morning.
And here’s why industry’s self-regulator, AER, doesn’t regulate unless publicly pressured to: Obsidian shares fall after Alberta’s energy regulator says company caused seismic events March 24, 2023 6:30 AM, The Globe and Mail I wonder how much Encana’s shares would have fallen had the AER regulated the company for its many law violations, including illegally frac’ing and ...
New Standford study confirms Tyee investigation: Tarsands high pressure injections near Peace River most likely caused 2022 5.6M earthquake (largest in Alberta so far) and others, felt as far away as Edmonton; More quakes (4.6 to 5) in 2023, also felt in Edmonton. AER, industry’s self regulator, as usual, blames nature.

Faces of Greed, Lies & Evil: LNG2023 Vancouver BC Canada, July 10-13, Sponsors include Bennett Jones Law Firm. Biggest lie = LNG is green (it’s not, it wastes masses of energy and water and can’t be decarbonized). In Canada, LNG is polluting, health farm & family harming, methane-leaking (at every stage), noisy, diesel-fuming, permanent water-losing, frac’d gas. *LNG = LFG (Liquid Frac’d Gas), it’s not natural!*
1982 LNG bomb cartoon in Vancouver Sun LNG’s biggest lie is that it’s green. LNG is much more polluting than coal. Think about what LNG is, and the vast amounts of energy required to frac it, ship it, cool it, ship it, ship it some more. It’s nothing but a money stealing polluting con. Next, think ...

Queen’s University (receives $millions in corporate “donations”) via CBC spews crap to deflect dioxin and phosgene pollution/health risks in Ontario and Quebec from Norfolk Southern’s toxic train derailment, burning of vinyl chloride, etc.
Greg [email protected] March 8, 2023: Chemistry prof Philip Jessop @queensu quoted saying dioxins are “too heavy to have crossed the Great Lakes through the air.” But study from 2000 found that almost all dioxins in Nunavut got there by traveling 1000s of km in the air. … The 2000 study specifically found HYSPLIT air models accurately track dioxins ...

USA Supreme Court, In 6-3 ruling asserts “only corporations have the right to abortion, if done properly through child health and development issues arising from air pollution”
I have hundreds of posts in draft form. I am struggling to catch up. Injuries done to me when I was being raped (often) as a child causes me difficulty typing and posting. Unknowingly bathing in Encana/Ovintiv’s life-threatening frac water and breathing the company’s toxic pollution for years compounded the harms. This SCOTUS ruling is from ...
Finally! More than four years after quitting Ernst vs Encana, Murray Klippenstein (lawyer bencher LSO) stops using me, my image and “environmental protection” case as free advertising for his firm (that he said was destroyed along with his career by working to kill his self regulator’s Statement of Principles)
Why now? To appear honest to get re-elected to the board of Ontario’s LSO? On the main page of his law firm’s website, Mr. Klippenstein used my name, image and case without permission or specifying he quit in 2018, betraying me and the public interest, lying and brutalizing me after he did. I can’t help but ...
Give Canadian youth their day in court! Kids appeal 2020 loss trying to sue Canada over climate inaction where Harper’s Justice Michael D. Manson ruled it’s not for courts to decide. What cave does he (and Harper) live in?
Canada is behind on environmental rights. Will the courts help? Last month, 15 children and youth asked judges to hear their claim to a constitutional right to a livable climate. The federal government wants to stop the case before the courts can even hear their argument by Zoe Grames-Webb, Annabel Webb, and Margot Young, March ...

Politicians magically turn toxic frac’d gas “green.” Poof! No more sperm-decimating benzene from frac crews spewing into the air you and your loved ones breath. No more life threatening drinking water.
Comments: Pilot3: Goebbels would be proud. No tactic is too slimy for big business. asdfkjasldk: Their new definition of green energy is “anything better than coal”. Their clean coal friends are going to be really pissed. Voter Frog: In other news, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) signed a bill this month to legally redefine rape as “alternative sex”.

Lawsuit settles industry’s 2016 methane leak contaminating citizen water wells and Mahomet Aquifer, Illinois’ largest freshwater source. Judge’s order requires four relief wells to try to remove the gas. In Alberta, AER still has not ordered Encana/Ovintiv to fix the company’s illegal fracs into Rosebud’s drinking water aquifers 20 years ago.
Illinois AG, Peoples Gas settle lawsuit over 2016 leak that reached Mahomet Aquifer by Mary Schenk, June 29, 2022, The News-Gazette URBANA — A Champaign County judge has approved an agreement between the state of Illinois and People’s Gas Light and Coke Company that resolves a 5-year-old lawsuit stemming from a natural-gas leak that reached the ...
Ontarian white ass, Alberta (ex) Premier Jason Kenney, joins Bennett Jones Law Firm. Ex PM Steve Harper glued his anti rule of law Ontarian white ass to a law firm too (Dentons in Edmonton). How much do firms pay for punted politicians voters reject? No wonder most can’t afford to hire lawyers, legal fees are too high because of exorbitant costs buying used white trash to keep raping religion and corporations happy.
How many Albertans did Kenney and his compliant puppet Dr Deena Hishaw kill or disable via COVID-19? Of course he “joined” a law firm, one that largely serves big oil, notably runaway to the USA illegal aquifer frac’er Encana/Ovintiv. Kenney can slither greedily there, stuffing his pockets with cash back from all those billion dollar ...
Bankruptcy, Deregulated & Weaponized: Used by the rich and powerful, judges, lawyers, corporations (including churches), politicians, etc. to hide truth, evade liability and accountability so as to keep polluting and poisoning us (as earth becomes increasingly unlivable). “Using bankruptcy, corporations get to eat their cake and lie about it too.”
Alberta is in an uproar these days, with anti Canada, anti Rule of Law “Dead Eyes” Premier Danielle Smith giving law-violating, billion dollar profit-raping, polluting oil and gas companies more billions off the backs of taxpayers (to clean up abandoned wells, and likely also orphans which industry is already legally required to clean up, but ...

Victoria BC: Big crowd protests old growth logging; Neil Young and Daryl Hannah special guests: “The necessary and simple answer is do no harm. … No further destruction.”
It’s always fascinating to me, but upsetting, how mainstream media report using photos showing a few attendees at such events at this one, instead of photos showing the thousands attending and marching, such as the photos above. Main media no longer serve the commons, just the rich and Status Rape & Pillage Quo. Thousands rally at ...

Rob Rogers cartoon, Team Trump-GOP-Norfolk Southern’s vast Poisoning for Profit Project, East Palestine Ohio, PA, NY, Ontario, Quebec and more: “I love the smell of deregulation in the morning.”
Just like the wanna-be-GOP, Trump-worshipping conservatives in Canada, notably in Ontario, Alberta and Saskatchewan where deregulation is religion, and oil and gas towns ‘n trains ‘n frac’d water towers blow up poisoning and killing (with judges lying in rulings, enabling the poisoners while punishing the poisoned). So grateful I have no kids enduring humanity’s toxic ...
Judge rules CP not liable for Lac-Megantic deadly frac’d oil train crash. Status quo wins again. Soon, there will be no ordinary people left for the rich to rape, pillage and murder.

How can an intelligent species be so stupid? Trout River, my favourite town in NL, ignores destructive reality of the up and incoming sea (created by our greed induced over population and pollution)
Trout River’s Main Street destined for destruction by Diane Crocker, Feb. 12, 2023, Saltwire Waves that are increasing in strength and size are continuing to damage to the boardwalk along Main Street in Trout River and more and more are coming up over the road putting the businesses and homes there is danger. Residents fear the ...
New study: Increased transparency and public pressure around frac’ing lowers pollution levels; mandatory chemical disclosure lowers number of new wells drilled. Targeted transparency can influence corporate behavior, no kidding – that’s why regulators keep so many secrets and let industry keep secrets too.
No wonder conservative/repuglican states and provinces have been so busy destroying education. Knowledge brings power to ordinary minds, which rapists (frac’ers, churches, and other industries) do not want us to have. No wonder my lawyer Murray Klippenstein withheld my website from me for so long (even though I had paid for it in full) and ...
Texas: 58,199 wells frac’d (some by Encana/Ovintiv) in 9 years with 6.1 billion lbs “trade secret” chemicals, nearly 100,000 lbs PFAS (extremely toxic at low levels) “forever” chemicals and precursors. How much in Canada? Hint: No one is looking.
Frac’ing proves the stupidity of the human species. In a world running out of safe water, and in some communities, running out of contaminated water, politicians (so called “law” makers but really rape enablers, both rape by corporations and men raping women and kids with courts set up to help them get away with it) ...
Boycott the Olympigs! IOC’s Thomas Bach licks Putin’s ass, threatens Ukraine, says boycott violates its charter. Oleksandr Usyk: “The medals that Russian athletes are going to win are medals of blood, deaths and tears.”
I’ve boycotted the raping doping exploitative Olympigs for decades and will until I die. Nothing will change my mind. The Olympigs and its IOC are like frac’ing and CAPP – corrupt and harmful. Typical. IOC’s head honcho, Thomas Bach, is an old white man lawyer. How much is Putin paying for this satanic shit show? The ...
Australia: NT gov’t hit with frac lawsuit, had a “terrible track record of failing to regulate highly polluting industries … we’re arguing the minister failed to lawfully assess Tamboran’s environmental plan by not identifying and considering all the risks”
Frack Free [email protected] Feb 6, 2023: Central Australian Frack Free Alliance have launched a legal challenge to Tamborans approval to drill and frack 12 wells in the Barkly. Caffa will argue the minister should have considered the climate impacts of a full scale fracking industry in the NT. Northern Territory faces legal challenge over approval of Tamboran ...
Pegagus Scandal: Have you been hacked and spied on by Israeli company NSO Group’s spyware sold to your gov’t and or agencies like AER?
My favourite quotes: Part 1: “….like living inside the condom.” Part 2: “The question is going to be, ‘Who have they missed?'” Part 2: “If you publish anything, we will sue you.” Part 2: “….it could not happen without the Israeli government’s permission.” If 100% industry funded gov’t agencies like AER bought Pegagus, I expect multinational energy companies are happily ...

SARS-CoV-2 in 2022: Outstanding reporting by Andrew Nikiforuk, and courage by The Tyee for publishing his works. Complete with nasty backlash from anti-public health, pro-corporate-rape-&-pillage-for-profit bullies (COVID liars, minimizers, and deniers).

Frac’ing on its way out: “We’re going to run out of inventory in the next four to six years.” Will the shysters leave anything but ruin behind?

Fresh Frac Hell: Frac’ers dumped waste from wells with PFAS across Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia. Regulators refuse to test for PFAS, even after spills. How many wells in Canada were/are frac’d with PFAS and the waste dumped on our foodlands? How many by illegal aquifer frac’er Encana/Ovintiv?
Hello AER: Anyone looking? No? I didn’t think so. AER didn’t even look after they were sent documented evidence of crimes by Encana/Ovintiv intentionally directly frac’ing in community drinking water aquifers, with many drinking water wells thereafter contaminated.

Nov 29, 2022 Cabot Oil & Gas on Criminal Docket. Public invited to Montrose PA main courtroom to hear AG read off each of 15 criminal charges against the frac’er for polluting waters of Dimock and hear Cabot’s guilty plea. Families have endured polluted water for 14 years. No such justice for Canadians suffering illegal acts by Encana/Ovintiv.
Cabot Oil & Gas, like most criminal oil and gas frac’ers, changed it’s spots via a merger after the criminal charges were filed against the company. Cabot is now Coterra Energy Inc. I believe companies do this to muddy their polluting histories and confuse their next victims (landowners) and the public. Canadian frac’er Encana did/does ...

Pennsylvania Senate Hearing: Large, growing, consistent, compelling body of evidence shows frac’ing negatively impacts public health; PA must act. Ten years later, Health Canada still won’t publicly release their frac hazard study.

Climate Courts: Let trials proceed without gov’ts if politicians care so little about rights of youth and fail to show up or are too ashamed about giving the rich and corporate polluters everything and nothing to our kids and their future.
In my experience of Canadian judges and lawyers, and the system’s expensive procedures intentionally created to keep ordinary citizens out, youth would do a much better job than any court in Canada could, or would ever try to. Canadian courts were not created to serve the future, the public interest, the citizenry, our environment, or ...

Italy’s Supreme Court: Rules neighbour’s noisy toilet is a human rights violation. Has Encana/Ovintiv (now Lynx) been violating my human rights and decimating my health for decades with their law violating noisy compressors? With AER fudging Encana’s data, enabling the law and human rights violations? Oh ya, I forgot: Canadians have no rights when harmed by oil & gas (except to pay $hundreds of thousands in legal/court costs, be strung along for years, lied to and betrayed by your lawyers, and defamed by the Supreme Court of Canada).

Nine months after Teck President Don Lindsay publicly apologized for dumping fish-killing mine waste, committed to “not waver in our focus on addressing this challenge” after settling in court for record $60M fine to avoid full trial, Teck “researchers” blame winter for 90% cutthroat trout kill even though mine contaminants have only gone up since 2014.

Geological Survey of Canada, Ruhr-Universität Bochum & McGill University team report new type of fracquake: “hybrid-frequency waveform earthquakes (EHW).” They say their discovery *could* “minimize damage done by tremors caused by fracking.” Pfffft!
