We often hear is that our (already) changed climate represents a "new normal". Let's be clear: As long as we pump out gigatonnes of CO2 and methane, no "new normal" is getting established - the situation is just continuing to evolve into something crazier www.newscientist.com/article/2583...

July didn't just have record-breaking weather driven by climate change, it had record breaking troll traffic as deniers did their utmost to deny what people saw with their own eyes could smell So FFFO has decided to have our first ever monthly Troll Award.

For the climate, this is part of Carney's relentless and cowardly race to the bottom. For the Canadian citizens this is part to the two-pronged screw-over where we both pay more for energy while paying more to subsidize Big Oil 🥺 www.cbc.ca/news/science...

While foreign-owed Big Oil makes record profits on the backs of Canadians, our tax money is getting shoveled into fossil fuel infrastructure. Canadians are getting screwed both as consumers and as taxpayers.🥴 Oh ya, and then there's the climate crisis... www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

"Only about a fifth of Canada’s burned area over the past four decades was even inside forest regions that have ever been actively managed. You cannot have a fuel-buildup from forest mismanagement in a forest you were never managing." www.theclimatebrink.com/p/canadas-bo...

Higher fire season temperatures are strongly correlated with increased area burned
