Record heat π₯ has caused an early snowmelt in the West, setting the stage for a potentially brutal fire season.
π₯ Mamas, itβs time to advocate for clean air filters in schools
and resilient local infrastructure.

Plant Roots Navigate Temperature's Whims Via Internal 'Thermostat'
Scientists found plant roots have an internal thermostat using ARF proteins and auxin to adapt to changing temperatures, helping crops grow better in a changing climate.

Plant roots can now sense and adapt to temperature changes thanks to a newly discovered internal 'thermostat'. This is important for growing crops in unpredictable weather.

πΏ Can crops help fight climate change?
The EU-funded @Crop4Clima project is developing rapeseed that absorbs up to 60 % more CO2 and thrives under drought. A glimpse of climate-smart farming.

Beavers Save a Drying Rainforest
A rainforest hit Level 5 drought. Twice.
Not a $100M pipeline. A 40-pound rodent.
Bridge Creek, OR: +168% steelhead from willow & mud.
Bow Creek, ID: wildfire stopped at the beaver dam.

The person with 2 years of food storage and no relationships is less resilient than the person with 2 months of storage and a neighborhood that gives a shit about each other.
To distinguish between "normal" and anomalous surface temperatures in Calgary in 2025, I applied Tukeyβs method. The statistical distribution shows a negative skewness (coefficient ββ0.59).
This highlights a critical phenomenon: the vast majority of the urban area is densely clustered in the warmer temperature range. In contrast, cool refuges (the rivers, reservoir, and dense parks) are statistically scarce, forming a long "tail" on the left side of the plot. In essence, Calgaryβs baseline is shifted toward higher temperatures, making Urban Cool Islands a rare and vital resource.
I would like to remind my readers and followers that I am currently preparing a comprehensive article based on these research results. In it, I will explore the ecological and geochemical implications of this thermal distribution. Stay tuned for further updates!
