You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

"She now works with the At-Sea Processors Association, helping bridge the gap between life on the water and the policies that shape it." So you got someone from the trawl industry to write about how trawl isn't the problem, got it. πŸ™„

Looking back at another extreme year for Canadian #wildfires resulting in 2025 with the 2nd highest annual total estimated emissions, after 2023. Read more in the #CopernicusAtmosphere global fire emissions review atmosphere.copernicus.eu/2025-sees-in... @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social @ecmwf.int

#CopernicusClimate has released its first data from the Copernicus pan-Arctic Regional Reanalysis (CARRA2): 2.5 km pan‑Arctic coverage, 24 years of data in the Climate Data Store, more realistic physics & improved details for local extremes, lots of added details with respect to ERA5.

Map from NASA FIRMS with the area burned to July 27, 2025 for Alaska, Yukon Territory and Northwest Territories annotated.

Northern North America wildfire area burned updated to Sunday. Area burned is higher than last year at this point in the season. Alaska has burned about 42 percent more area, Yukon Territory about 17 percent more and the Northwest Territories about 4 percent more. #akwx #ytwx #ntwx #Wildfire2025

Fire suppression in the boreal: "There's too much fire now" - Woodwell Climate In boreal forests, which are experiencing intensifying fires, fire suppression offers a way to protect both people and carbon-rich permafrost

For Woodwell’s Dr. Kayla Mathes, community perspectives have driven home the need for fire suppression as a tool to protect people and climate.

Saskatchewan & Manitoba have already surpassed their previous highest annual total #wildfire emissions with Ontario amongst the highest in the 23-year #CopernicusAtmosphere dataset. Further west, British Columbia is comparable to 2023 & 2024 for the same time of year.

Smoke from wildfires evident in the available PM2.5 air quality reports in Alaska and the Yukon Territory early Monday. AQI improved in the Fairbanks area but remains poor at Coldfoot and surely much of the rest of the northern Interior. Graphic courtesy PurpleAir. #akwx #ytwx #Smoke #Summer2025

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

Canada's reward for being America's truest, most stalwart ally of the last 150 years is an unjustified trade war and 35% tariffs. There are battlefields the world over where Canada's finest lost blood on our behalf, little did they know we would stick the knife in their back at home. #shameful

The budget for ICE in the BBB will exceed the budget for the Marine Corps. The BBB is poised to pass. This is increasing their budget by a factor of 10. Ramping up for WWII levels of increase.

Except, the enemy is the public.

We are seeing the birth of a new police state.

That's not the issue. The issue is did it exceed the authority that the CONSTITUTION Of THE UNITED STATES granted the courts? No? Then we were good, until the Court decided it wasn't a co-equal branch of government.

Bar plot showing the area burned to June 27 in 2024 and 2025 in Alaska, the Yukon Territory and the Northwest Territories. All three regions have larger area burned this year than 2024.

Wildfire area burned in northern North America is ahead of this time in 2024. Largest increase is in the Yukon Territory. However, the last days of June 2024 saw rapid wildfire growth in Alaska and the YT, so this will look different at the end of the month. #akwx #ytwx #ntwx #Wildfire #Arctic
