93-year-old's 'lifetime of memories' piled on a curb in St. Catharines, Ont., after flooding Generations' worth of memories were laid out on Mary Winning's curb in St. Catharines, Ont., on Sunday in a jumbled mess of sewage-soiled mementoes, furniture, boxes and bags.

Three years ago, an illegally constructed #logging bridge across the Highwood River in #Alberta sparked one of the largest grassroots campaigns to protect the Eastern Slopes of the Rocky #Mountains in recent history. Today, the proposed #clearcut, covering the equivalent of 1,500 soccer fields, is before the Federal Court, and recent #flooding may have changed the clearcut's future.

New Study Finds Clear Cut Logging Can Dramatically Increase Flood Risk -- https://theconversation.com/new-study-finds-clear-cut-logging-can-dramatically-increase-flood-risk-284825 <-- shared technical media article -- https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foreco.2026.123895 <-- shared paper -- H/T @Daniel@techhub.social Pierce | Ramshackle Pictures “Here is a clear and simple breakdown of some of the latest bombshell findings out of the UBC Hydrology Lab… using a probabilistic framework, known as attribution science in the climate world. [The researchers] studied two watersheds in BC's Okanagan Valley near Summerland. In this area, they found that climate change was actually making the frequency of floods go down, but forest harvesting counteracted the effects of climate change and increased the flood risk by 10-fold (!!!) turning a 20-year flood into a flood that occurs every two years. [The H/T] truly want to know how the BC government and timber industry are responding to this new science internally. They're absolutely silent on it in public as they continue business as usual…” #Nonstationary #Probabilisticphysics #Foresthydrology #Floodfrequencyanalysis #Snowmelt #Causalinference #flood #flooding #forest #forestry #water #hydrology #OkanaganValley #watershed #BC #Canada #BritishCanada #clearcut #logging #harvesting #practices #climatechange #extremeweather #humanimpacts #caseexamples #floodrisk #risk #hazard #probabilistic #framework #attributionscience #policy #planning #UniversityofBritishColumbia | #GovernmentofBritishColumbia

Salt Lake Tribune: Beaver installed flood cameras after the wildfire. Four days later, the flood came. "...Whitney and Robinson say the cameras provided them with just enough time — about 75 minutes — to clear the Grove area, where residents living in about 200 homes were evacuated before the debris flow struck and inundated the residential neighborhood...." https://www.sltrib.com/news/2026/07/22/how-cameras-helped-warn-beaver/ #disasters #evacuations #flooding #UTwx #EmergencyManagement

"Without urgent action, Canada will experience climate change twice as fast as other parts of the world. Yet Canada has missed every climate target we’ve ever set, and is still approving new fossil fuel projects that will lock us in to future greenhouse gas emissions." https://environmentaldefence.ca/campaign/ending-climate-change/ #Canada #CDNPoli #ClimateCrisis #NoPipelines #Wildfires #Heatwave #ExtremeWeather #Drought #Flooding #BCPoli

"The science is clear: to avert the worst impacts of climate change and preserve a liveable planet, global warming needs to be limited as much as possible and as a matter of urgency." "Every fraction of a degree of warming matters. With every additional increment of global warming, changes in extremes and risks become larger." It is crucial we act to minimize the damage by "urgently and significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions and phasing out fossil fuels." https://www.un.org/en/climatechange/science/climate-issues/degrees-matter #Canada #CDNPoli #ClimateCrisis #BCPoli #ONPoli #NoPipelines #NoLNG #Wildfires #ExtremeWeather #Drought #Flooding

Wildfire smoke attacks your lungs, heart and brain: Harmful particulates in wildfire smoke travels deep into the lungs, slips into the bloodstream, and gets into the brain directly through the nose. When toxins reach the brain, they can cause inflammation, lack of focus, and headache; long-term exposure leads to brain damage and cognitive decline. https://www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/business/how-does-wildfire-smoke-affect-your-brain-today-and-down-the-road/article_44886cd9-7f31-5533-8ad2-48e912130f8c.html #Canada #CDNPoli #ClimateCrisis #BCPoli #ONPoli #NoPipelines #NoLNG #Wildfires #ExtremeWeather #Drought #Flooding

"The IPCC reports could not be clearer: if we want to hold global warming to 1.5C, launching new fossil fuel projects is completely off the table. It is all about damage control at this point(…). Governments are obliged to use every tool in their shed to stop major environmental harm."
