Are you getting outdoors to hike this summer? Did you know that your hiking gear can actually increase the spread of invasive species in Canada’s natural spaces? To help prevent this, always clean your gear before & after an outdoor adventure! Learn more: https://t.co/PFJLnOS5YH

Do you know how bad you have to be at science to think that a mask does not block a virus but does block oxygen and carbon dioxide?

[Dr. Rebecca Rooney @girls_can]

‘Learning to live’ with #COVID might mean masking in public spaces, annual booster shots and vaccine requirements forever. It can’t mean pretending the virus isn’t there and abandoning protections while we are ravaged by wave after wave of new variants we brewed by our hubris

[Dr. Rebecca Rooney @girls_can]

This is a defining issue. 40+ years of research on sustainable cities. Have we learned nothing? Climate change adaptation, food security and social cohesion - all undermined by this developer spree. This doesn’t help housing costs or make livable cities. #voteNO

The top map shows which nations are most responsible for excess emissions. The bottom map shows which nations are most impacted by it. If we are not attentive to the colonial dimensions of climate breakdown, we are missing the point.
