For #MountainMonday: Low clouds swirl around Indian Arm and Mount Underhill with Hixon Peak and Mount Bonnycastle in the background. This view of Indian Arm and the surrounding mountains was photographed from Burnaby Mountain in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada.
The documentary was not broadcast in #Canada. Hansen said the reason B.C.’s wood pellet industry is a focus in #UnitedKingdom is the #Drax Power Station in #England.
This analysis focuses on north central BC, where all material feeding #Drax’s pellet mills originates from #PrimaryForest, whether it arrives directly from #logging operations or byproduct from sawmills. Majority of commercial logging taking place in BC is of #OldGrowth#forests.
@msquebanh This is such a massive problem with the lunacy of Drax. Drax apparently cannot remotely satisfy its needs by mowing down and pelletizing the American south east, and now is pulling trees from Washington, Oregon, Montana, and now BC.
@msquebanh that's great news!! When I did my study abroad in Vancouver, I took the ferry to visit a friend in Victoria for a long weekend. It was a blast! I had taken the ferry several times in Seattle, but the BC ferry was magical.
@msquebanh this was, gulp, 17 years ago. The price at the time was reasonable. I didn't have a car, so it was the bus down to the ferry, then my friend picked me up at the terminal. I miss the Pacific Northwest, but it's so expensive now I'd never be able to afford to live there.
In March, a small #nonprofit in #BritishColumbia cut 10 cheques worth approximately $5,500 each & hand delivered them to as many #FirstNations on southern #VancouverIsland. The money, collected in the second half of 2023, is the first annual installment of #voluntary#rents paid by residents & business owners who live & work on the First Nations’ homelands.
2021 heat dome fuelled by climate change, intensified wildfire risk: study
The study, published Monday in Communications Earth and Environment, concluded the heat dome in June and July 2021 was 34 per cent larger and lasted 59 per cent longer than a similar event would have without global warming
#BChealthCare database is so messed up - it's been sending reminder texts & emails to the tiny population of BC citizens who have been medically exempted from getting covid vaccines - even though several of us want the vaxxes. #BCNDP - under horrific #Eugenics guidance of #racist#BonnieHenry - is still playing #RussianRoulette on human lives in #BritishColumbia#Canada
I fucking hate our #BCgovernment & all their overpaid shit for brains, stooges.
