So honoured to be among the recipients of the Covering Climate Now Awards!

Smoke from Canada’s wildfires killed nine-year-old Carter Vigh – and 82,000 others around the world www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I've been investigating the spread of toxic chemicals from sites under federal responsibility. After months of work, I can share this story about a Canadian neighbourhood where people didn't know they were drinking contaminated water until a professor showed up. www.cbc.ca/news/pfas-to...

Multiple benefits from green roofs: insulation, reduce rainwater drain off, and they can remove microplastics from rainwater www.yahoo.com/news/article...

So glad you're ok @alecluhn.bsky.social! www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

What are your tricks to stay cool in a heatwave? What helps me: - cold showers, or running cold water over my wrists for 30 sec - if I can't get to a/c, I find anywhere with shade and a fan or a breeze - I don't push myself with physical activity. Slow & steady and lots of breaks

Today could be the hottest June 23 ever recorded in Montreal! Temperatures are forecast to reach 10 C above average, according to CBC's Climate Dashboard by @naelshiab.bsky.social newsinteractives.cbc.ca/features/202...

The story of noctalgia, or sky grief. A beautiful piece of writing by @nebulousnikki.bsky.social www.cbc.ca/newsinteract...

Hey #BugSky I'd love to know what this dragonfly is doing! The internet tells me its either a courtship ritual or laying eggs? #Insect #Ento

It's going to be VERY hot and humid next week in Eastern Canada 🔥 Extreme heat made worse by climate change is a deadly threat. Don't forget that there could be a delay between temps dropping outside at night and the real temperature indoors — especially in older buildings. Stay safe!

Years after CBC's Verity Stevenson invited me to work with her on this story, I still think about the asylum seeker at the heart of this case. A kindhearted man who came to Quebec to earn a living and ended up with the top of his hand sliced off. www.cbc.ca/news/3-guilt...

The Guardian is reporting that Climate.gov will imminently no longer publish new content www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

"The court offered a direct rebuke to decades of deception about the science of climate change. Its additional findings on causation—that a specific company could be held responsible for specific climate harms—made for a 'historic' decision."

A beautifully told story of grief, community, and faith by Caroline Hillier www.cbc.ca/newsinteract...

As Fred Rogers' mother used to say in the face of catastrophe "Always look for the helpers. There will always be helpers."

RIP Sly Stone. Thank you for the music youtu.be/YUUhDoCx8zc?...

Bad air quality caused by Western wildfires for 54 communities this morning, mainly in Southern Ontario and Quebec. And summer hasn't even started yet... Link to our climate dashboard in the comments.

Timeline cleanser - please enjoy this cute porcupine munching on some branches.

A new scientific paper sheds light on what caused the 2023 marine heatwave: a combination of weak winds, a rapid heating of the ocean's thin surface layer, climate change, and above-average solar radiation hitting the ocean following a reduction in sulfur emissions from ships

The world's clean-energy investments are now twice as large as those in fossil fuels, the latest IEA data shows

All you need to know is that GPS has absolutely saved marriages

Climate change is fueling devastating wildfires burning across Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta through intensified heat, drought and atmospheric conditions. 🧵⬇️ www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

A stark warning from a US meteorologist ...

The thing everyone feared could happen is happening. Sweeping changes to the US weather agency are "threatening its ability to accurately predict extreme weather events."

This animation from Copernicus shows smoke from the wildfires in Manitoba and Saskatchewan travelling across the Atlantic to Europe. Climate change (caused mostly by fossil fuels) has made Canada's wildfire seasons longer and tougher to contain. #ClimateChange #Wildfires

Beautiful. Gut wrenching. Real. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

A single vote! Never let it be said a vote doesn't count. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

🥲🤣 "What's up with Quebec" is too real.

Who's responsible for the climate crisis? Two new studies try to answer this question: but whichever way we slice it, the answer doesn't change much. The wealthiest are disproportionately responsible for the greatest emissions, and that's why climate change is so unfair. An explanatory thread 🧵

If you are like me & can't just let things be and must know what makes the conclave smoke black or white ... Here are the answers: phys.org/news/2025-05...

Mayor Valerie Plante announces at the Montreal Climate Summit a target of net zero biodiversity loss on the Island of Montreal by 2030 #SommetClimatMtl25

Today from me: President Trump is doing everything he can to raise carbon emissions. But his economic policy may end up curtailing them, at least temporarily, for reasons that no climate economist would celebrate. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/29/b...

“A huge 89% majority of the world’s people [56% even in the United States] want stronger action to fight the climate crisis, but feel they are trapped in a self-fulfilling “spiral of silence” because they mistakenly believe they are in a minority, research suggests.” Most of us want #ClimateAction.

Happy 🌎 Earth Day. As a climate and environment journalist, the number one question I get asked is: don't I find my work depressing? But actually it's the opposite! Here's why: #EarthDay #ClimateChange

Earlier this week, Jonathan Pedneault was still up on the board of the debate set at La Maison Radio-Canada. But today the Greens were dropped for failing to run enough candidates. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

"The administration’s plan would 'eliminate all funding for climate, weather, and ocean laboratories and cooperative institutes.'"

JUST IN: March was Earth's 3rd warmest on record. The Arctic saw its smallest March sea ice coverage on record. Find out more in our latest Global Climate Report: ncei.noaa.gov/news/global-climate-202503 @climate.noaa.gov

But the important question is, how long until people are walking the non-dire wolves / genetically modified grey wolves on a leash at the local park?

Spring in Quebec — what a difference 24 hours can make! Glad I didn't put my boots away

This was such a delight! Thank you for the great conversation all.

Countries have debated for decades whether to allow mining on the ocean floor, a potential trove of critical minerals. Now, companies are telling regulators they plan to move ahead, whether or not rules are in place.

USA Today is hiring an "AI-assisted reporter." The first time I've seen a job like this posted by a media outlet, probably not the last. I'm curious how fact-checking and integrity will be balanced with using AI as a tool. jobs.dayforcehcm.com/en-US/gannet...

Felt #earthquake: 3.8 #quake 14 km southwest of Riviere-Rouge, Laurentides, Quebec, Canada, 29 minutes ago - 262 reports so far. Did you feel it? Send a report!

Anyone else just feel an earthquake in the Laurentians or Montreal? @earthquakes.live Something seems to be registering on the seismogram for Montreal & Mont-Tremblant www.earthquakescanada.nrcan.gc.ca/stndon/wf-fo...

And... that was fast. White House clarifying by email for my colleague that actually, this isn't just an exemption for the Big 3. It's an exemption for all automotive production that qualifies under USMCA. Sloppy rhetoric or deliberately misleading? Who knows.
