My take on why the proposed northern pipeline is incredibly risky without 1st doing some basic geological due diligence. BC’s N Coast & interior are criss-crossed with faults but seismic & geodetic monitoring is rudimentary and we simply don’t know what’s active. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...
‘There’s no monitoring of earthquakes’: new British Columbia pipeline could spell catastrophe, experts warn
Project on ‘very poorly understood’ terrain and likely to pass through Rocky Mountain trench, which researchers say poses immense geological hazard

We're used to seeing waves in the ocean...but waves in the clouds? A rare cloud formation called Kevin-Helholtz clouds was visible over Victoria's Inner Harbour yesterday, and @seos-uvic.bsky.social professor Adam Monahan has the scientific explanation: www.vancouverisawesome.com/bc-news/rare...

The levels of 137-Cs detected here is more than 130 times the level we detected in Pacific salmon in British Columbia following the Fukushima meltdowns in 2011 fukushimainform.ca/2017/12/18/o... 🌊
One salmon found with Fukushima Contamination in 2016 After Extended Measurement
Extended testing confirms Fukushima radiation in one BC salmon sampled in 2016. Concentrations present comprise 1% of the estimated radiation dose, the other 99% has primordial origins.
