Wildfires can spread quickly — by the time one is nearby, you may not have much time. Have an evacuation plan, and prepare an emergency supply kit ahead of time. Listen to local officials for emergency information and any evacuation orders.

On the 10th Anniversary of the Paris Agreement, you’re going to hear a lot about the progress we’ve made — people saying we “are” heading to 2.5 degrees heating instead of four.
I deeply regret to tell you that this is complacent misinformation.

It appears that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has, within the past week, scrubbed a large amount of climate change content from its official website, as well as *removed human-caused warming* from the discussion on its "causes of climate change" page.

Nothing the Carney government is doing is good for the climate. Every single climate step they take is a deliberate step backwards. There's no hope for the climate here. None.

So brutal. Danielle Smith & the oilsands’ goal is increasing production, pollution, and the cost Canadians pay for climate change - while delaying the energy transition. The opposite of winning the future.
Just one week after signing an MOU with the federal govt agreeing to strengthen industrial carbon pricing, Alberta has changed its regulations, making the agreement harder to achieve.

Support for genetic modification and meddling, whether in humans or more than human kin, is not a given, even when there is potential benefit.
There has been research, for example, into making manoomin (wild rice) more genetically resilient against climate change and warming water temperatures.
