Turn up the volume for some magnificent CRUNCHY #trailrunning! 😃

Nice photo! Yes that sure looks like a strange place for him to hang out, it’s a good guess he’s stunned. Neat how they do the one leg thing, poor guy was probably cold too!

Volcanic rock cement created to replace limestone, cut emissions by 67% Stanford geophysicist Tiziana Vanorio has developed Phlego, a volcanic rock-based cement formula that could reduce carbon emissions by 67%.

Newly discovered fossils give scientists first look at the evolution of early complex animals Newly discovered fossils have given scientists their first real glimpse of when Earth made a crucial transition from plants and unrecognizably simple animals to the complex creatures that took over th...

Evolution is always fascinating!

I had a wonderful time visiting family in Taber this week, and was very lucky to do some #trailrunning by the Old Man River. Was a beautiful day! 😀❤️

A secret weapon to fight carbon emissions was just discovered: Beavers A new study in Switzerland finds that beaver-built wetlands can trap and store large amounts of carbon, offering a low-cost boost for restoration and climate resilience.

I love beavers! 🦫❤️😃

Scientists achieve ‘impossible’ solar efficiency in renewables breakthrough ‘Spin-flip’ technique promises to shatter efficiency limits

Very promising solar breakthrough!

If Humans Vanished Tomorrow, Scientists Say This Animal Could Secretly Take Over the Planet If humans suddenly vanished, the planet wouldn’t stay empty for long. Some animals would spread rapidly, others would struggle, and a few might quietly gain an advantage no one saw coming.

Gotta love that fresh snow! Another wonderful day for winter #trailrunning at Chickakoo! 😀❤️

Heads up Amazon, Gorgo is demanding an immediate 30% increase in box size 😾 #CatLovers

Water cooler fun fact:

Earth's global 2m surface temperature just posted the hottest March 23rd on record, and likely the hottest March 23rd in the last 120,000+ years.

The world just lived through the 11 hottest years on record — what now? Earth is increasingly ‘out of balance’, as more heat is trapped in the atmosphere, driving global warming.

Here's another bit of my #trailrunning from this weekend, I must say I am thoroughly impressed with the image stabilization on this iPhone 17. What a great day of running! 😃

Made things very beautiful for my run this morning 😃

Absolutely spectacular #trailrunning conditions at Chickakoo today! Amazing! And my new phone is doing a great job of stabilizing the video from clunky-ass running! 😃❤️

Very good advice! If I kept a diary of all my #trailrunning wipeouts, it would be thicker than War and Peace 😄

Amazing warm spell for #trailrunnning! Gotta love T-shirt and shorts weather! 😃❤️

How beavers are transforming Cornwall’s rivers and flood risk Four pairs of beavers were released into the Par and Fowey river catchment in February.

Beavers create wetlands that clean water, capture carbon, slow floodwaters, store water in dry periods and support abundant wildlife. bbc.com/news/article... #ecology #environment #conservation #zoology #SciChat

The El Niño cometh The latest models show a much greater change of a strong – or even super – El Nino developing later this year

Super El Niño is coming. Brace yourself!

One can argue the powerful fossil fuel lobby would have controlled the narrative and suppressed political action regardless of climate predictions.

But IMHO, history will show that climate scientists deliberately and systematically reported overly conservative climate change estimates.

Why?

The last two days I was #trailrunning the same trail, so I know a Pileated Woodpecker did this amount of tree damage in a single session. I hope he got a good crop of grubs for his work! Incredible creatures! 😳
