    Jasper was beautiful. I hope they manage okay… and some rain would be amazing. More of our towns are going to be under threat as this trend continues. Hopefully everyone got out with their pets safely.

      How many more communities will burn before our government starts taking real proactive action against climate change-driven disasters?

      The corporations causing climate change don’t pay for mitigation and recovery from the consequences of their actions. The politicians forming government are owned by the corporations. Communities burning isn’t motivation for change.
