A listener in Switzerland thanked us for our Canadian prairie wildfire smoke. He encountered it while hiking. The Swiss media is covering the story. I wonder how the Swiss feel about climate-denying Saskatchewan messing with their health.

Our podcast listeners funded an air quality monitoring station for my home in the industrial end of Regina, Canada. The data is live globally on the IQAir network. We hope to learn and educate with this project.

The smoke in our city in Canada was at 446 on the US AQI scale on Friday. That's like smoking 60 cigarettes. Climate change is to blame, according to experts. From episode 264 of our weekly podcast. #climate #climatechange #yqr #sask #canada #wildfires

Where will you charge your future EV? You may have a suitable plug already | CBC News Thinking about an EV as your next car, but worried about where to charge it, and whether you'll need a pricey electrical upgrade to your home? If you have parking and a plug somewhere nearby, your hom...

In spite of this CBC piece, I don't recommend level 1 charging for the prairies. It gets too cold here and you'll want to preheat your car off the grid. Doing so on level 1 will use some from the grid but a lot from the battery. www.cbc.ca/news/science...

Pope Francis passed away this week. Beyond his spiritual leadership, he was a bold voice on climate change.

In Laudato Si’, he called it a moral and spiritual crisisβ€”emphasizing justice for the poor and care for our common home. 🌍✝️
