Canada’s biggest commercial bank says the country will struggle to meet soaring electricity demand in coming years unless governments make tough decisions.

Energy consumption is expected to surge 50 per cent in the next decade but the country’s ability to meet that demand is constrained by its commitment to a net zero grid by 2035, Royal Bank of Canada said in a report Tuesday. Ontario, the country’s economic engine, could face power shortages as early as 2026, the bank warned.

David Attenborough should stick to educating us about animals rather than bashing human beings.

It’s that high-pitched, cranky and creaky voice again. It’s the most fabulous footage of wildlife, taken by intrepid photographers on very cold ships. We see emperor penguins waddling, sliding on their bellies, tobogganing and mountaineering through acres of Antarctic snow. A young male hooded seal, out to mate in the spring, sees off an older and bigger rival. Then he tries to pull a female – first with an inflatable black nose, then with an inflatable, balloon-like red sack in his left nostril.

The world’s most vulnerable countries are preparing to take on the richest economies with a demand for urgent finance – potentially including new taxes on fossil fuels or flying – for the irrecoverable losses they are suffering from the climate crisis, leaked documents show.

Extreme weather is already hitting many developing countries hard and forecast to wreak further catastrophe. Loss and damage – the issue of how to help poor nations suffering from the most extreme impacts of climate breakdown, which countries cannot be protected against – is one of the most contentious problems in climate negotiations.

You still can’t pack a lithium battery in your checked luggage, but by decade’s end you may be held aloft by aircraft engines powered by lithium batteries.

Thursday, Air Canada announced a purchase agreement with Heart Aerospace for 30 of its 30-passenger ES-30 electric-hybrid aircraft it plans to put into service in 2028.

The price of lithium carbonate, the key material used to make electric car batteries, has continued to skyrocket, tripling in the past year.

The valuable mineral is mainly processed in communist China, which has a monopoly on the battery market.

Lithium carbonate prices in China hit $71,315 a ton on Sept. 16, according to data from Asian Metal Inc.

It’s easy to believe life on Earth is getting ever worse. The media constantly highlight one catastrophe after another and make terrifying predictions. With the never-ending torrent of doom and gloom about climate change and the environment, it’s understandable why many people — especially the young — genuinely believe the world is about to end. But the fact is that though problems remain the world is getting better. We just rarely hear about it.
