Over the past two decades, the Earth has been absorbing excess energy equivalent to roughly 18 times all of humanity's annual energy use, every single year, according to the World Meteorological Organization. More than 91 per cent of that energy is soaked up by the oceans. Photo by: Joan Li / Unsplash

B.C. has quietly eliminated its Climate Action Secretariat, the long-running agency that produced and implemented climate policy across government ministries.

In an email to staff viewed by The Tyee, Peter Pokorny, deputy minister of energy and climate solutions, said that “to align with key priorities” some secretariat staff would move to new subject matter, including supporting LNG, pipelines and gas fracking.

The Tyee has learned this includes at least 10 of the secretariat’s former staff members.

People walk the streets of Nice, France in August 2016. Scientists are predicting the arrival of an El Niño eclipsing that which helped drive record high heat and extreme weather in 2024 — possibly even rivalling the El Niño of 2015 and 2016. The difference: the world has grown a lot hotter. Photo courtesy: Jonas Weckschmied / Unsplash

Canada’s first major liquefied natural gas (LNG) export plant, on the B.C. coast, has been having problems with a key piece of equipment since the facility fired up in late 2024. The companies behind the project, a consortium of foreign-owned corporations, have said it will take three years to fix the problem — a timeline experts have questions about.
