Thanks to @cabinradio for this story. "The #NWT has some giant #carbon sinks – places within the landscape that lock up carbon like the #borealforest, #peatland and #permafrost. How we keep the carbon in those sinks is a big and increasingly important question, not just for the territory but for humanity as a whole." https://cabinradio.ca/220349/news/environment/wildfires/how-do-we-keep-the-nwts-huge-carbon-stores-out-of-the-air/

Will #Ontario voters toss this mean-spirited, self-serving, grifter conman out of office? Or will they look the other way on #privatization of #education and healthcare; the war on the #environment and #humanrights; negligence and untimely death of older adults and vulnerable people in care; backroom real estate deals; give aways of public assets to offshore money; enactment of undemocratic laws; and the stench of corruption throughout public govt. https://pressprogress.ca/doug-fords-pollster-has-been-quietly-polling-ontarians-about-calling-a-self-serving-early-election-over-the-last-year/

"For #Amazon’s #JeffBezos, this move isn’t just about crushing the Laval workers and their union; it’s a direct assault on the entire global working class. It marks a growing offensive by corporations and the capitalist class who are trying to put workers in their place with austerity measures and attacks on #labour organizing." https://breachmedia.ca/amazon-quitting-quebec-shock-and-awe-workers-worldwide/

This dirty industry pumps out "a vast pool of volatile organic compounds that transform and oxidate as they move through the atmosphere. They include black #carbon and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which are dangerous to #humanhealth. Such contamination can also alter the chemical composition of an #ecosystem and trigger unwelcome chain reactions causing toxic algae to bloom, stunting trees or turning #water dangerously acidic."
