The "green" one:
The federal environment minister is calling out Canada’s oil companies for failing to put cash behind their promises to tackle climate change.
Steven Guilbeault says the country’s major oil players have promised to do something about greenhouse gas emissions, but instead have funnelled most of their record-breaking profits to shareholders.
This is at least the third time in the last six months Guilbeault’s frustration has spilled over as oil company profits soar. This time his critiques came in the form of a video posted to Twitter as major petroleum producers began releasing their third-quarter earnings.
A repugnant, awful man.
So while our political leaders at #COP27 will be chauffeured around in electric cars, they conveniently forget that cobalt is found in lithium batteries that power most electric cars. The landscape in Congo is destroyed to mine cobalt. Child slaves mine the cobalt. pic.twitter.com/3rcpRXXkDV

HA!:
A Dutch climate activist glued himself to a table during a live TV debate, forcing security to intervene and tip him off.
Extinction Rebellion's Jelle de Graaf was invited to speak on the Khalid and Sophie talk show about the eco protesters who stuck themselves to the Girl with a Pearl Earring painting in The Hague.
During the discussion, he leaped up on to the table and put glue on his hands before slamming them down on the surface.
The activist then went into a speech about the climate, discussing the hundreds of thousands of Pakistanis who have been displaced by unprecedented floods.
On set security then came over to the table in a bid to remove the eco warrior.
They decided to tip the table to one side, as de Graaf pleaded to keep filming instead of cutting to a commercial break because he feared for his safety.
Staff then lifted up the wooden tabletop and carried the protester away with it to the side of the studio.
They placed one side of the table down on the floor and tipped it over, causing him to become unstuck and tumble down to the side.
