RT @VSinkevicius: Plastic pollution can create problems we’ve never thought of:

Floods from blocking drainage systems or pollution in our soils.

Today, I am in Paris for the 2nd round of negotiations for a global 🌍 treaty against plastic pollution.

A game-changer for our future & economies! https://t.co/vo5QBciXm7

@Brad_Rosenheim Scientists are still trying to pinpoint the cause of recent changes in methane concentration trends (e.g., wetlands). Here are some articles exploring possible sources/sinks: https://phys.org/news/2019-03-methane-atmosphere-surging-scientists.html & https://e360.yale.edu/features/methane_riddle_what_is_causing_the_rise_in_emissions & https://nature.com/articles/d41586-022-00312-2 & https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/150967/why-methane-surged-in-2020

Hello friends - are you a scientist who left Twitter in the six months or so? I have a journalist who would like to speak with you.

We've known for a long time that climate change is increasing the area burned by wildfires across western North American. Now, a new study by @ucsusa shows that emissions from the world’s 88 largest fossil fuel companies and cement makers are responsible for 37% of the forest area burned in the western U.S. and Canada since 1986. https://e360.yale.edu/digest/fossil-fuel-companies-western-forest-fires

Red-shouldered hawk has been hanging out in the neighborhood.

Yellow lady slippers (Cypripedium parviflorum) are blooming!!!

This seems like an horrendous idea..

Doug Ford's #Ontario government wants to expand a licensing regime that allows residents to unleash dogs in an enclosed area to teach them how to hunt & kill captive coyotes, foxes & rabbits, This includes contests where dogs chase terrified coyotes around an enclosed pen.
Hunters say there is a growing demand for the dog sport, while animal advocates call it a cruel practice for the captive prey.

I was today years old when I learned that there may be a relationship between pollen counts and viral respiratory infections. Pollen impairs the immune response to viruses, and viruses may also be able to hitchhike deep into the airways on pollen grains. High pollen concentrations in March 2020 may have facilitated the spread of COVID during the first pandemic wave 🤧

@chrisjmcclure I shake my head as to why people think Alberta conservatives are fiscally responsible. We have a Heritage Trust Fund that when adjusted for inflation has not grown since 1979. Norway has 1 TRILLION in the bank after being in O & G for only 30 years compared to Alberta's 100! How is that fiscally prudent?

Gordon Lightfoot has died at the age of 84.
Calling him a Canadian icon or legend is an understatement.
He was one of our greatest singer-songwriters.
Born in Orillia, Ontario on Nov. 17, 1938, he had several #1 albums & songs.
He won 16 Junos.
RIP to a legend.
