This is the thing about cascading consequences of climate change: When natural and human-made systems start to break down, it can be in unexpected and compounding ways.
People think of fire as fire. But in today’s burning world we have to think of how fire affects our water infrastructure, which in this province can be the very same forested watershed that is burning too hot.
As Canada experiences its second-worst wildfire season on record, drinking water across B.C. is at risk, as watersheds are threatened and transformed by flames. @annecasselman.bsky.social reports: thenarwhal.ca/wildfires-th...
