Musician Corb Lund built his music career staying out of politics. But that changed almost six years ago when Alberta rescinded its cola policy. In my latest documentary, Corb tells me about the personal toll of his advocacy and why he’s fighting for legislation.

For months @ainsliecruickshank.bsky.social has been pouring over documents trying to find out how many animals are killed on train tracks in B.C. Companies are supposed to report rail kills but records she obtained found reporting is inconsistent and incomplete projects.thenarwhal.ca/collision-co...

When a grizzly bear swam from the mainland of B.C. to Texada Island in May, it divided a community and raised questions about how to manage predators in places people aren’t used to having them. Now, charges have been laid in relation to this story:

For almost 25 years, scientists have had solutions to keep migratory bats safe from wind turbines, to keep both the wind sector and bat species thriving. In my latest documentary for What On Earth, I explore how well that’s working 🌎 🦇

"It had been a century since Texada Island had seen a grizzly bear. So when one swam 5 kilometres from the mainland over to the community off the B.C. coast, it created curiosity, panic and division..." Great radio doc by @mollyaudio.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/t...

Grateful to have a piece included as a finalist alongside so many compelling stories:
For the last few months, I've been working on a podcast with the legendary Cory Doctorow about why the internet sucks so bad now, and whose fault it is. It launches today. I think it turned out pretty good! Here's the first episode, featuring the one and only @edzitron.com www.cbc.ca/listen/cbc-p...
I had the honour of joining CBC's What On Earth with Dr. Chris Russill recently. We talked all about climate conspiracism and how this is playing out in real time as climate disasters become more frequent.

A line graph showing atmospheric CO2 levels at Mauna Loa Observatory from 1955 to 2025. The y-axis represents CO2 mole fraction in parts per million (ppm), ranging from 320 to 420 ppm, while the x-axis is years.
The most iconic figure in the environmental sciences is the Keeling Curve, the CO₂ record from Mauna Loa, Hawaii.
@noaa.gov had a wonderful site where you could visualize and download these data, and now it's just gone. These data belong to us and we should not let this happen!

Sometimes the truth hurts. And when it comes to fighting climate change, we have obstacles ahead – including the likely reality that global temperatures in 2024 will hit 1.5 C above pre-industrial levels. That’s even before Donald Trump’s return to the White House could bring a big shift in climate policies. But that doesn’t mean the fight is over. David Ho, a professor at the University of Hawaii, explains what the next goal should be and how we could get there.
I’m such a downer. Definitely don’t invite me to your party.
