Inflammation, pain relief why…

Pain on the run since…

Aspirin can kill (poster; home safety; accident prevention) by The Health Education Council is licensed under CC-BY-NC-SA 4.0

The use of ASA has been a therapy for two and a half millenniums. Originally the compound was harvested from the bark of the willow tree.

Over time, this pain killer or tonic was refined until in 1899 the Bayer Company refined it, named it Aspirin, and marketed it worldwide.

Early waking of bears.

Taking your feeders in at night can save you some grief if a warm spell wakes hibernating bears.

Relax with friends, go north?

I would change nothing about myself; I will leave that to forces I come up to and continue to grow in experience and comfort of peace.🤳

Nicola Naturalists Society.

The NNS is participating in the annual Christmas bird count again this year. On Saturday the members and president Alan Burger will go out and count and classify numbers of our our featured friends. The goal beyond the pleasant outing and enjoying a fellowship experience will provide data. The data is for here is usually published by February and those that care take note over time and experience in the dynamics of ornithology and its progress or decline.

This will be the 24th Christmas Bird Count in the Merritt count circle. You don’t have to be an expert birder to participate – the count is done in groups and there are always one or more experienced birders in each group. So this is a great way to learn the winter birds in the Nicola Valley. To register please email:   nicolanaturalists@gmail.com

Boreal Forest…

Moving North

The boreal forest occupies a great deal of Canada in particular the Northern parts and in the Northwest Territories. The parts of the territories that don’t have boreal forest are called the barren lands, and associated with permafrost and generally a moss on the top of the land that insulates and keeps the permanent frost just below it.

The Boreal forest does progress north as the frost comes out of the land and over time the Boreal forest pushes north.

It is a bit of a hope that the response of this dynamic will mitigate global warming to some extent, however the reliance should be limited as the world 🌎 is in a considerable supply and demand situation and it needs to come to the standard of the zero net carbon emissions by 2050.

Every one a part to play.

So, in the past it’s been our position that if everybody just did something we could probably solve this. Today our position has shifted to if everybody did something they would feel a lot better.

It may be the things that have to be done have to be on an industrial scale and we’ll just leave that thought for now.

Amazon atmospheric streams.

The other iconic hope is the Amazon rainforest logging and demand for agricultural land as land is depleted of its nutrients is in the forefront of the mindset of many people that are concerned. And rightly so.

This dynamic has affected the atmospheric streams that are picked up as the tropical rainforest emits groundwater out from its tops and through its leaves. These atmosphere streams could be said to have brought water to California in in previous decades.

These are hope situations some of the many circulating around on what’s happening to our planet and what we can do about it.

The one that the Boreal forest will somewhat save us from the extra carbon that is in the atmosphere by its expansion northward to the Great Canadian Boreal forest has some merit.

Im both incidents you are dealing with one or two generations however the demand including oil, minerals and resources is on the thousands of generations that it took to put in place. Before the industrial age and it’s population expanded in the last few generations to encompass a real surge on the planet

Good luck, stay calm and carry on.
