Thank you Carol for taking the time to chat yesterday. And on your birthday!
Yesterday I had a chance to chat with @mattbrownldn.bsky.social about #heatdomes, #forestfires, #smoke and what #ldnont is doing to adapt to & mitigate #climatechange. We didn't plan it, but our conversation fell on a day when I woke up to extreme smoke levels due to the Port Alberni fire.
