Why was 'incredible' giant cedar cut down, despite B.C.'s big-tree protection law? | CBC News
Conservationists are questioning why an old-growth yellow cedar tree with a diameter that should have ensured its protection and a buffer area around it under provincial law was logged.

Some more details as to what is happening to BC forests and a call to action.
B.C.’s forestry system is under the microscope again and James Steidle makes a compelling case for reining in the Office of the Chief Forester. He highlights why it’s time to rebuild trust and refocus on ecological balance.

BC's forests are among the most diverse and carbon-rich in the world, but we’re still watching irreplaceable old-growth get cut down.

At #COP30 next month in Brazil, the animal ag (and broader ag) industry is likely to be as active as the fossil fuel guys obstructing commitments to emissions reductions. I got a crash course on how they work from the great @profsecchi.bsky.social and Kathrin Lauber and terrific new @cssn.org book
There's increasing awareness of the role the animal ag industry plays in climate obstruction, but this new book brings all the peer-reviewed research on the subject together in one place and it's 🤯.

Hydrology Paper of the Day @ericagies.bsky.social on how changes in air moisture are related to climate change and a discrepancy in dryland regions: for some areas, models do not adequately capture decreases in humidity; linkages with fires and ecosystem services; and the need for realistic models.
Do plants affect global climate through water? Some climate scientists say yes, but others say plants' effect is only local or regional. If the plant-power proponents are right, it means, to solve climate, we need more than the energy transition. We also need to restore land to health. My story:
Climate science and the case of the missing moisture
Nature Water - Expected air moisture is missing over drier areas worldwide, possibly because climate models undervalue the effects of plants and other life. This finding could be a fingerprint of...
