An expert source, busy all week with media interviews for the same story, giving me kudos for being the only journalist so far to ask a less intuitive but pretty valuable question - that sure felt good 🥹

8 skiers found dead, 1 still missing in deadliest avalanche in Northern California in decades | CBC News Eight backcountry skiers have been found dead and one remains missing and presumed dead after an avalanche near Lake Tahoe in California, officials said Wednesday, making it the deadliest avalanche in...

As someone who often accesses avalanche-prone backcountry in the winter - & spent many weeks in northern California growing up - I’m heartbroken by this nightmarish news & wishing these people’s families & responding SAR personnel the very best this week 🤍

Why cutting climate journalism is a risk we can’t afford A recent wave of lay-offs will reduce public understanding of how climate change impacts lives and weaken the media's ability to hold power to account, enabling climate misinformation to spread

Loved this line by Felix Horne:

“Without expertise and experience, wildfires are reported without the underlying climate context that fuels them. Energy stories lose their climate dimension. Pollution is treated as an unfortunate accident rather than a foreseeable harm from fossil fuel dependence.”

Why would you ever grow a raspberry under the shade of a solar panel? All will be revealed in our latest article: Agrivoltaics: Pairing Unlikely Bedfellows - pairing farming and solar - to the benefit of all, including, of course, the planet.

The polar vortex that hit the U.S. & claimed 60 lives is reminiscent, for me, of the 2021 heat dome that killed 600 British Colombians.

Polar opposites on the weather spectrum, but both telling examples of how even North American society is unprepared for climate change-driven temperature extremes.

Revelstoke Review hit by coconut caper over spare change - Revelstoke Review In rare act of mischief, newspaper cash box found smashed open with fruit shards littered

Possibly one of the most random stories I’ve ever written.

Someone smashed open our newspaper’s cash box… with a coconut!

But for a few dollars they stole, as I wrote, the coconut-cocked thief may have actually spent more just to buy the drupe fruit itself 🥥

What tiny brain monitors are teaching us about extreme animal sleep habits Thanks to miniaturized sleep labs, scientists are able to track the extreme ways animals snooze in risky environments.

One of the coolest science stories I’ve read lately, about the little-known ways that other animals sleep 💤 @apnews.com does a fantastic job (with great visuals) breaking down how penguins, frigatebirds & elephant seals each get shuteye - even while swimming & flying!

The greening of Sable...and a little bit more

Our favourite overgrown sandbar - Sable Island - has recently begun green retrofits. We take a look at those, and go a little bit further into life and work on this most fascinating and bewitching of islands. @sable-institute.bsky.social

Appreciate the final newsletter plug by @biographic.bsky.social as the year ends for the magazine’s 1st year bringing on the former Hakai Magazine staff! I had 10 freelance pieces published this year & seeing this one republished by @theguardian.com was huge 🦅

Thanks Richard. It’s an ongoing story & part of the reason it remains noteworthy is critics are concerned that the ship still hasn’t been removed after nearly a year (& won’t be until at least spring). The coast guard’s latest updates also indicate they’re finding increased debris & oil slicks.

Ship grounding off Newfoundland exposes marine response gaps In 2024, the federal government increased maximum penalties by tenfold to $250,000 for violations under the Canada Shipping Act, but consequences for marine pollution remain “relatively limited,” said...

My final freelance story of 2025: I heard from the coast guard & industry critics about ongoing work to get a grounded container ship off the shores of Newfoundland - as well as gaps this exposes in Canada’s coastal response capacity 🚢 @nationalobserver.com

The Last Hike of David Gimelfarb Four years ago, a Chicago grad student entered the Costa Rican jungle and simply vanished. What happened?

Not recent news, but this is one of my favourite pieces of journalism. Hiking in Costa Rica’s Rincón de la Vieja this month, locals told me about David Gimelfarb & his disappearance that perplexed the world. We passed the volcano summit trail he may have taken…

An eye-opening analysis about an oft-missed culprit of the climate crisis: the food we eat 🥩

I stopped eating beef this year, but this is a huge wake-up call for me & my future environmental coverage, especially if only 1/100 climate articles address food 🌿

A letter from Jimmy Thomson on impact As editor-in-chief, I believe you have a right to know how we’ve spent your dollars. But how to quantify impact when so much of what we do happens inside the minds of the people we reach?

It has been so gratifying to work with the incredible staff at @nationalobserver.com as EIC this year. I published this letter to our readers and supporters to document some of the impact we had this year and plans for 2026.

Some highlights:

In our most recent article, The rise and fall...and rise again...of tidal turbines we take a look at the promising new possibilities for harnessing the energy of our world-renowned Nova Scotia tides. Try try again...
