Interesting that this article discusses the challenges of planning travel in a world where our climate has become more extreme and less predictable, but fails to recognize that we must travel less to curb emissions causing climate change.

It is beyond my comprehension why Canada lets murderers out of jail, especially when there’s been no investment in rehabilitation. We are all at risk until the “justice” system values victims more than perpetrators. 13 years is not an adequate sentence for taking a life.

The truth hurts. Disappointed to see folks pile on shaming and misdirected anger in response to Suzuki’s statement just because he says what any thinking person already knows.
He also said, “I’m not giving up in the sense of not doing anything.” Suzuki has no fucks left to give, & I’m here for it.

It’s my first season with a solar installation and I’ve wondered how wildfire smoke events would impact production. Even though the air quality health index is 11 (very high risk), the smoke must not be blocking sunlight too much because I’m not seeing a negative impact on solar production. ☀️
