For months @ainsliecruickshank.bsky.social has been pouring over documents trying to find out how many animals are killed on train tracks in B.C. Companies are supposed to report rail kills but records she obtained found reporting is inconsistent and incomplete projects.thenarwhal.ca/collision-co...

Trains regularly hit and kill wildlife on the tracks but poor reporting means governments aren’t sure exactly how many animals are lost

It's the 50th anniversary of Jaws and I love the piece that @mollyaudio.bsky.social put together on the movie...and where our fear of sharks really comes from! With shoutouts to @whysharksmatter.bsky.social of course! www.cbc.ca/radio/ideas/...

Happy 50th to Jaws, a movie that created a universal fear of the ocean | CBC Radio

Fifty years ago, the movie Jaws put sharks on our radar in a very real way. It broke box office records and tapped into an underlying fear of sharks and the unknown lurking in the ocean.

For the last few months, I've been working on a podcast with the legendary Cory Doctorow about why the internet sucks so bad now, and whose fault it is. It launches today. I think it turned out pretty good! Here's the first episode, featuring the one and only @edzitron.com www.cbc.ca/listen/cbc-p...

I had the honour of joining CBC's What On Earth with Dr. Chris Russill recently. We talked all about climate conspiracism and how this is playing out in real time as climate disasters become more frequent. Have a listen!

Friends! Highly recommend this edition of CBC's What On Earth, featuring Prof Chris Russill and the @climateunit.bsky.social's very own @erinblondeau.bsky.social. Excellent insights into how & why climate disasters get hijacked by conspiracies & disinformation. www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

The most iconic figure in the environmental sciences is the Keeling Curve, the CO₂ record from Mauna Loa, Hawaii. @noaa.gov had a wonderful site where you could visualize and download these data, and now it's just gone. These data belong to us and we should not let this happen!

Microphones and rain buckets are being used to help detect landslides before they happen | CBC Radio

Scientists say giving people hours, or even a few minutes, of early warning has grown in importance, as climate change makes natural disasters more common and dangerous than ever before.

In September I was in Sitka, Alaska. After a deadly landslide in 2015, people got together and created a monitoring system to meet the community’s desire for more information to help know when a landslide was likely to occur. My latest for What On Earth: podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/w... 🌎
