Yikes. Well this tells you how many dinosaurs live inside the forestry bureaucracy in BC. The logging companies are being told to log the old growth by the government? Looks like the right hand needs to talk to the left hand…#bcpoli theglobeandmail.com/canada/b…

Today, we do not know the precise warming magnitude of aviation-induced cloudiness, but we see a growing scientific consensus that the impact on climate may be comparable to aviation CO2 emissions. rmi.org/contrail-mitigation-…

Contrail Mitigation: A Collaborative Approach in the Face of Uncertainty

There is growing scientific consensus that contrails may be a significant contributor to aviation-based climate change. It’s time to take action.
