You mean people think that the unimaginable environmental damage, wildfire season, trash gyres, insane housing prices, government decisions largely influenced by corporate lobbists, wage slavery, and soul crushing medical debt are normal?
I’m not surprised that this was the reaction in Alberta, though. Somehow, I think there’s going to be hell to pay for the heavy handed approach the U of A and U of C took, through litigation or otherwise.
Further, the universities shot themselves in the foot and pretty much took away the option of any future protests being peaceful.
I’ve seen a lot of people on here be teased for difficulty expressing themselves. Either people complain “you’re using big person words to describe mundane things” when they’re aiming for precision or “woah, we don’t need that damn wall of text” when they’re aiming for clarity. It’s like people just want to...

As I write this, I’m getting ready to leave for my seventh season of tree planting. I’ve had an eye on the weather all winter, watching as the snowpack levels in British Columbia reach lows not recorded since at least 1970, watching as rivers — like the confluence of the Nechako and Fraser rivers in Prince George — run...
Lower-intensity fires typically burn off the top layer — the humus layer — and leave the soil underneath intact. But fires in recent years have been reaching such high temperatures that they essentially burn the soil all the way down to the bedrock.
“In those areas, you won’t be able to reforest if you tried,” Enns told me. “You just basically have to write them off and leave them.” Through erosion, she explained, the soil will eventually come back and the land will “green up” again.
Jet fuel can’t melt silica sheets.
While I am memeing, it’s highly doubtful that the A, B, and C master horizons are being ‘burnt off’, due to their mineral nature. I could see the lack of veg causing these soils to be highly prone to erosion though, with subsequent soil losses during rainfall events.
Some forests have Folisols (organic soils comprised entirely of fallen detritus), but those are not the dominant soil order in BC (typical it’s brunsiols and regosols).
I am also not surprised at the resilience of the seedlings. In most reveg plans, we account for 20% mortality.
Finally, if you want to see what impact climate change may have on the ecosystems of BC, you can see it here:
Realized carbon storage efficiency is abysmal: typically -25% of estimates, and highly variable, and that’s before you factor in the economics. You don’t get anything tangible from CCS, either.
I dont know if this has been asked before or if this may be a little goofy of a question but I didn’t see anything relating to it and I’m kinda curious what the culture of Lemmy is like and what sort of common things people see. ive been paying attention to interactions but nothing is as good as just asking everyone.
I was following what was happening on Reddit and someone mentioned it. It was a little tricky to sign up and understand how it all worked once I did, but I got there, obviously (to the chagrin of the shitpost communities)
