Killer logging fires might just shorten your life
Increased traffic, dust
Road building machinery powered by fossil fuel
Heavy logging machines spewing fossil fuel exhaust
Repeated forest slash and burn fires with lingering smoke for months and months.
A dryer forest more prone to catch fire and accelerate climate disruption.
"Respiratory experts have called on the EU to lower its regulatory limits for air pollution in line with the World Health Organization (WHO)."
"They added that the impact of the climate emergency and human health had become interlinked and was now “irreversible”. An increase in pollen and other allergens as well as wildfires, dust storms and fossil fuel-based traffic all worsen existing respiratory conditions or can create new ones, the authors wrote in the peer-reviewed paper."
"Air pollution is estimated to have killed 6.7 million people globally in 2019 and 373,000 in Europe, with greenhouse gases and air pollution sharing many of the same sources."

The researchers trained a machine learning model on California’s 18,000 fires over the past two decades and the weather conditions under which they burned so that the model could pick out the weather factors that influence fire behavior. Using climate models, they simulated that same world, but minus human-caused climate change. Then they compared fire behavior in the simulated, un-warmed world with the real, overheated one. #fires https://www.kqed.org/science/1984200/climate-change-makes-wildfires-in-california-more-extreme

Needed a hike after the past weeks of heat and #ClimateCrises in the news. Oxley provides that place of #Solace and @Wonder that we all need. We are early in #Migration, but are seeing an amazing number of #Warblers already. I wonder if the spike in migration is related to the #Fires in Canada = purely conjecture on my part, not even at hypothesis rank.
This is one of my favorites, a #NortherParula. Their call reminds me of a small #VibroSeis running through a sweep. They can be very gregarious if you are lucky. and talk to them softly.
Other sightings today included
#WilsonsWarbler
#YellowWarbler
#LeastFlycatcher
#AmericanRedstart
along with the usual suspects.

Canadian Climate Wildfire Catastrophic Alarm 🇨🇦 🔥 🚨
How big is 16 million hectares? That's how much of the forest has been burned in this climate wildfire. Horror.
Get out a map of your area, no a bigger one.
Find the scale on one edge, little ruler with 100 200 etc
Draw a box on the map 400 kilometers long, and 400 kilometers tall, here are two.

Dr. Tim Cadman about clear felling Tuckers Nob forest, compartments 26/27, also know as the proposed Great Koala National Park.
on Coffs Coast Breakfast (start 38 min - 49 min)
https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/coffscoast-breakfast/coffs-coast-breakfast/102768584
Some points mentioned:
The impacts of clear felling on koalas and wildlife.
Koalas and other wildlife are 'blind' to so called 'plantation' labels or old growth forests.
The proposed logging period also overlaps with the 'vulnerable to extinction' marsupials' breeding season. ( September and February)
The noise, trucks, dust, fires, smoke, pesticides of industrial logging operations making the area unlivable for all living beings.
Possibly an uninhabitable scenic Gleniffer for approx. 2 - 5 years due to being tuned into an industrial site.
The short notice to (some) residents.
The undemocratic nature of non-consultation.
The fobbing off to a FCNSW website.
At approx. 47 min FCNSW had their statement read out.
