Economist @brettdolter.bsky.social talks with us on special episode available Monday morning on your favorite podcast app. Dolter is asked about why Saskatchewan's government-run power utility shies away from renewables and will be the last to burn coal in Canada, by a generation.

A listener in Switzerland thanked us for our Canadian prairie wildfire smoke. He encountered it while hiking. The Swiss media is covering the story. I wonder how the Swiss feel about climate-denying Saskatchewan messing with their health.

Our podcast listeners funded an air quality monitoring station for my home in the industrial end of Regina, Canada. The data is live globally on the IQAir network. We hope to learn and educate with this project.

The smoke in our city in Canada was at 446 on the US AQI scale on Friday. That's like smoking 60 cigarettes. Climate change is to blame, according to experts. From episode 264 of our weekly podcast. #climate #climatechange #yqr #sask #canada #wildfires

Pope Francis passed away this week. Beyond his spiritual leadership, he was a bold voice on climate change.

In Laudato Si’, he called it a moral and spiritual crisis—emphasizing justice for the poor and care for our common home. 🌍✝️

Babies were dying when the power went out in an African hospital—even after being stabilized. One man got some friends together, raised money, and installed solar + batteries. Now, countless lives are saved every year.

All the way back in 1990 SNL did a sketch called A Global Warming Christmas with Tom Hanks as Dean Martin and Mike Meyers as Carl Sagan, warning the world about climate change. It's funny. @triumphicdhq.bsky.social credited Greg Daniels for coming up with it. The full sketch lives on Reddit.

It's -31°C outside and it's too hot in our passive solar house. More of a sun-tempered house, I suppose, but it was intended as a passive solar home when built in 1979. #yqr #canada
