CelloMom On Cars"Researchers have also long drawn attention to the way that Canadian <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/forestry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#forestry</a> policies moved away from traditional and <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Indigenous</a> practices of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PlannedBurning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PlannedBurning</a> which safeguard valuable timber resources and people. Regular, controlled burning clears the forest understory and reduces the risk of larger fires spinning out of control, but this had been stopped in much of the country."<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ClimateChangeIsTheLastStraw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateChangeIsTheLastStraw</a> <a href="https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20230612-did-climate-change-cause-canadas-wildfires" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20230612-did-climate-change-cause-canadas-wildfires</a>

So logging companies have for decades used that to do "replanting"."But in recent decades, nearly 30m hectares of pine in western North America alone were killed off by the mountain pine beetles, leaving swaths of tinder on the landscape."That's not "forest management": that's pushing to the brink. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Canada</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/wildfires" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wildfires</a> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jun/10/canada-wildfires-climate-global-heating" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jun/10/canada-wildfires-climate-global-heating</a>

CelloMom On CarsTruly <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ClimateChangeIsTheLastStraw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateChangeIsTheLastStraw</a>, only the last final straw.After you drain a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/lake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lake</a>, you need <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/water" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#water</a> from somewhere else. Farmers pumped up that water from the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/aquifer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aquifer</a>. As the aquifer shrank the lake bed subsided. It was the fastest sinking place on the planet. The levees became less effective.And the local interests had refused to be part of a state plan. So there is no centralised <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/flood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#flood</a> control, at all.This is the ship they sailed into <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateChange</a>. <a href="https://grist.org/extreme-weather/tulare-lake-flooding-california-central-valley-subsidence-agriculture/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://grist.org/extreme-weather/tulare-lake-flooding-california-central-valley-subsidence-agriculture/</a>

You would think a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/water" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#water</a> reservoir in an arid state is something to protect. But no. People drained it, to grow thirsty crops like <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/almonds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#almonds</a>, plus <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/dairy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dairy</a> cattle.This winter, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/California" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#California</a> got hit by more than one <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AtmosphericRiver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AtmosphericRiver</a>; the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/snow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#snow</a> pack is deep.
