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/

@miki_lou @cabinradio People decry "science for science's sake": one of my uni profs used to head up to the NWT in summers and just for laughs measured the CO2 absorption of the permafrost growth. 40+ years later his data proved to be essential.

@SonofaGeorge @cabinradio Science is essential IMHO, whether Western science, Indigenous science, or local science (aka observation).
