It's about mining, but more, it's about how poorly we do Cumulative Assessment of mines. The approval of the KZK mine by YESAB was hugely controversial (it's in court now), but YESAB might have made a different recommendation had they assessed the true extent of the mine.

New Tread Lightly just dropped!

It’s time for you, @JustinTrudeau / @CanadianPM, to state clearly that you support a strong cap on emissions from the oil and gas industry! #EmissionsCap #FastFairForever #CDNpoli https://t.co/IQXbhaQlDh

(1/3) It’s time for you to support a strong cap on emissions from the oil and gas industry @JustinTrudeau / @CanadianPM! Too many Canadians have lost their homes, livelihoods, and lives to the wildfires, storms, and floods. #EmissionsCap #FastFairForever #CDNpoli

Excellent news!
The #porcupineherd thanks you!

"Her announcement also seems aimed at dissuading any company from even thinking about drilling in the refuge,"

Have you always wanted to own your own mine?
Yukon is selling the bankrupt Minto mine, no minimum bid!
Some conditions may apply.
Or not, Yukon really, really wants to sell this pig.

As the Peyto Glacier in Alberta enters its death spiral, it's main monitor thinks of his young daughter: “I would love to bring her out there and show her these alpine glaciers before they’re gone. Hopefully she’ll remember them when she’s older.”

It is rare that an inspection of a mine reveals that it is not compliant with any of its permits or licences, but that is exactly what YG Inspectors found at @HeclaMining operation at Keno.

How is the casual slaughter of 100 #grizzly #bears not an international scandal?

[Sebastian 'Septuply vaxxed' Jones @JonesSebastian]

In case this appalling disaster is news to you, Alaska dispatched riflemen in helicopters to slaughter almost 100 grizzly bears in a brutally misguided attempt to restore caribou habitat.
It is hard to imagine that anyone with a modicum of morality or education could do this.

OK, one more climate graph, because it shows better just how remarkable this year truly is- and it will probably keep getting warmer for a while.

[Dr. Robert Rohde @RARohde]

NCEP has placed Earth's average temperature yesterday as the hottest single day thus far measured by humans.

This is driven by the combination of El Niño on top of global warming, and we may well see a few even warmer days over the next 6 weeks.

[Yukon Conservation Society @YCSYukon]

The most important graph in the world, and perhaps the scariest, alongside the one which depicts ocean temperatures.

🔥📈BREAKING @NASA 📈🔥

The Earth Energy Imbalance from NASA satellite data broke through 1.8 W/m² (12-month mean)!

This is faster than I expeced.
More than many experts thought possible.

I called this the most important graph in the world.

A lot more heat is accumulating!
