Pretty sure this is the hottest temperature I’ve experienced in my life.

I have a bonded pair who bring their babies every spring to visit me. I feed them dog food kibble so when food is scarce in winter I provide food and fresh water. Gorgeous birds , I hear their calls before sunrise 🌅 #birdsofbluesky #nature #australianbirds #magpies

Delightful sounds of the Australian magpies they have a to say! Two adults, and a juvenile. Australian magpies are remarkably bold around humans because they are highly intelligent, highly adaptable, and frequently live in close suburban contact with people.

Archaeologists excavating on Triquet Island—a remote island off the coast of British Columbia, Canada—uncovered a settlement dated to 13,600–14,086 years ago. ​

In Australia had cave showing 45,000 year old art and implements from human habitation. A bloody iron ore mining company blew it up a few years ago. And yes they knew it was there. Traditional landholders devastated, as was anyone caring about history & culture. Like blowing up Notre-Dame Cathedral

We keep opening new coal and gas mines . Human activities are contributing to climate change. At what point does the fossil fuel industry take responsibility? #climateemergency #heatdome
