Climate change doubled likelihood of Canada's extreme fire weather, study finds
Human-induced climate change has more than doubled the likelihood of the extreme weather conditions that fueled Canada’s destructive 2026 wildfire season, finds a rapid analysis. As of early August, thousands of wildfires torched more than 3.8 million hectares (9.4 million acres) across the country — an area already significantly in excess of Canada’s 30-year annual […]

Proposed mine expansion raising pollution concerns in Canada and US
The Elk Valley in southeast British Columbia is home to Canada’s four largest coal mines. With a proposed mine expansion moving through environmental assessment, people on both sides of the Canada-U.S. border worry the valley’s decades-old pollution problem could get even worse. Industrial coal mining in the Elk Valley goes back more than 50 years. […]

Two new reports show that Canada needs to do much more to tackle climate change #Canada

Two new reports show that Canada needs to do much more to tackle climate change
Global warming is expected to cross the 1.5°C temperature threshold—the lower limit of the Paris Agreement temperature goal—within a handful of years. This temperature increase shows no signs of slowing, and on our current trajectory, Canada is likely to experience temperatures 5°C above preindustrial levels by the end of the century.

... Jean #Chrétien drew a standing ovation Friday for a pointed message directed at Americans at a commemorative ceremony for those killed in terrorist attacks in the United States, 25 years ago.
“Yes, #Canada is generous, open country, and Canadians are tolerant and kind,” he said. “But never mistake our generosity for weakness. Never, never mistake our tolerance for lack of determination. And never, never, mistake our kindness for softness.”

Hazardous Canadian wildfire smoke choking millions in US
The Manhattan skyline was obscured by thick haze, and Chicago closed its beaches Thursday as out-of-control Canadian wildfires raged, sending smoke spewing into the United States and exposing millions of people to dangerously unhealthy air.

With the auto sector lying at the heart of the #Canada–United States–#Mexico Agreement, a deal on American terms, and our rejection of it, means that #CUSMA is dead.

If you have an opportunity to visit a freshly-burned forest, look for pyrophilic beetles (e.g., certain species in Sericoda, Melanophila, Monochamus) and flies (Microsania). Some have specialized antennae for detecting smoke, others use infrared-sensing areas on abdomen or thorax to locate hot spots. #fire #smoke #weather #canada #beetles #coleoptera #insects #flies #trees #forests

There are days when understatement is foolish. Today would be one of those.
You know what has happened. The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, has invited Canada to become an Associate Member. There is no other. This is a first for the E.U..
She did this in her annual State of the Union speech before the European Parliament. Her invitation was greeted by a sustained standing ovation.

I chanced a final question about his experiences with beauty. “Beauty,” he said. “beauty…”
“I’ll give you a beautiful moment. I was driving north from Port aux Basques in Newfoundland; this dramatic range of mountains to the east, the sea to the west, and this straight, empty road. And the idea that there are friendly people on that road – just fantastic. I remember thinking, I was never happier.”

I asked our resident dairy expert, Cow Man (Murray Harris) to weigh in on the latest trade dispute, the new tariffs and the milk-&-cheese dispute at the heart of it. Let blog readers know the facts, I asked. It seems to matter now more than ever.
Alas, I received this reply.
“Honoured to be asked, but facts no longer matter,” he said.

Carney, in NYC, spent an hour with the NY Times.
I found this passage very interesting…
“Mr. Carney on Wednesday also reiterated his long-held view that a global financial system wholly dependent on the U.S. dollar was unsustainable. A move to a multipolar system in which there are several reserve currencies would “provide more flexibility,” he said.
Interesting Times ahead
