There are reports from semi-officials or credible sources of ice conditions being a concern at local 💦 lakes.
” through the ice at Marquart lake, a person went, Lost his fishing gear but not his life.”
Kathy a bus driver with Merritt transportation also reports that search and rescue was out practicing recently for lake recovery.

That that being said a reminder of being cautious is always good around ice.
One point for today always carry a rope or have access to sticks. Never try and pull somebody out at an ice hole, you may join him as you both panic….
This is a great starting point for an informative piece. To help you structure this, I have gathered the most current data for 2026.Global oil production has reached record levels recently, but the market is currently in a state of “oversupply,” meaning more oil is being produced than the world is actually using.
1. Global Production Volume (2026)
As of early 2026, total global production of “liquid fuels” (which includes crude oil, condensates, and biofuels) is approximately 107 to 108 million barrels per day (b/d). To put that in perspective, a single “barrel” is 42 gallons (159 liters). The world is essentially producing enough oil every day to fill over 6,800 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
2. How is Production Divided Up?
The “division” of oil production is usually viewed through two lenses: by organization and by country.By Organization (The Power Blocs) * Non-OPEC+ Countries (The Growth Leaders): This group, led by the United States, Canada, Brazil, and Guyana, now produces the majority of the world’s oil (roughly 60-65%). These countries have driven most of the recent supply growth. * OPEC+ (The Quota Managers): This group (led by Saudi Arabia and Russia) accounts for about 46% of global production. They often try to limit their production to keep prices from falling too low.By Country (The Top 5 Producers)The “Big Three” (USA, Saudi Arabia, and Russia) dominate the market, together producing about one-third of the world’s total supply.| Rank | Country | Approx. Daily Production (2025/2026) |
Share of World|
United States | ~20.9 Million b/d | ~20% || 2 | Saudi Arabia | ~11.1 Million b/d | ~11% || 3 | Russia | ~10.7 Million b/d | ~10% || 4 | Canada | ~5.8 Million b/d | ~6% || 5 | China | ~5.2 Million b/d | ~5% |>
Note on Venezuela:
While Venezuela has the world’s largest reserves (oil in the ground), its actual production is currently less than 1 million barrels per day due to political instability and infrastructure issues.>
3. How the “Division” is Changing in 2026
* The Oversupply Gap: Production is currently outstripping demand by about 2 to 3 million barrels per day. This has caused oil prices to drop significantly (Brent crude is currently hovering around $60/barrel). * New Players:
Countries like Guyana are seeing massive growth, moving from zero production a few years ago to nearly 1 million barrels per day in 2026.Next Steps for Your WritingSince you asked “how it is divided up,” are you planning to write about the geopolitics (who has the power) or the logistics (how the oil physically moves from producers to consumers)?

Current
The “overturning current” you’re referring to is the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), often described as the Atlantic’s “great conveyor belt.” This massive system of currents plays a critical role in global climate by transporting warm, salty water from the tropics north toward the Arctic. In the high latitudes of the North Atlantic, this surface water cools and loses heat to the atmosphere—which helps keep Western Europe significantly warmer than other regions at similar latitudes. As the water cools, its salinity and density increase, causing it to sink to the deep ocean floor. This cold, dense water then flows southward in a deep return current, completing the overturning loop. This circulation is essential not only for regional weather but also for redistributing heat, dissolved oxygen, and carbon throughout the ocean basins, impacting marine ecosystems and the ocean’s function as a vital carbon sink.However, recent studies indicate that the AMOC is weakening, and scientists are concerned that continued global warming could push it past a critical
“tipping point.”
The primary factor driving this slowdown is the influx of freshwater into the North Atlantic, primarily from melting ice sheets in Greenland. This freshwater is less dense than the salty ocean water and inhibits the cooling surface water from sinking, thereby disrupting the engine of the overturning circulation. If the AMOC were to substantially slow or, in a worst-case scenario, collapse, the consequences would be severe: Northern Europe could face much harsher winters, global rainfall patterns could shift drastically (affecting tropical monsoon regions), and sea levels could rise along the U.S. East Coast. While the exact trajectory and timing of a potential collapse are subject to scientific debate, the potential risks have led some governments, like Iceland’s
SpaceX’s Starship Flight 11 was a significant success, achieving every major objective and marking the final flight of the Version 2 Starship and first-generation Super Heavy booster.Starship Flight 11 SuccessesThe test, which launched on October 13, 2025, from Starbase, Texas, demonstrated critical capabilities for Starship’s future development and reusability: * Flawless Ascent and Staging: The Super Heavy booster successfully ignited all 33 Raptor engines, and a successful hot-staging maneuver separated the booster and the Starship upper stage.
*
Booster Soft Splashdown:
Super Heavy completed its boostback burn and a new, unique 13-engine landing burn designed for the next generation of the booster. It then successfully hovered above the water before executing a soft splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico, providing valuable data for future landing-tower catch attempts. * Starship Milestones: The upper stage achieved its planned velocity and trajectory, successfully deployed eight Starlink simulators, and performed the third in-space relight of a Raptor engine—a crucial capability for deorbit burns.
* Controlled Re-entry and Splashdown:
Starship gathered extensive data on its heatshield performance during atmospheric re-entry, intentionally stressing the vehicle. It then successfully executed a final landing flip, landing burn, and soft splashdown in the Indian Ocean.The complete success of this mission provided crucial data as SpaceX pivots to the next generation of Starship, the Block 3 vehicles.Upcoming Starship Flight 12Starship Flight 12 is highly anticipated as it will debut the new Block 3 vehicle version and is expected to launch from the renovated Pad 1 or the new Pad 2 at Starbase. * Launch Timeline: A precise launch date has not been finalized, but speculation from industry observers and polls suggests a potential window around the end of 2025 or early 2026. * New Vehicle: Flight 12 will feature the first use of the Block 3 Starship and Super Heavy vehicles, which are intended to have enhanced reliability, reusability, and payload capacity.
* Objectives:
The flight is expected to repeat the suborbital flight profile of its predecessors, with the ship falling slightly short of reaching a full orbit. It may also pursue more aggressive tests related to reusability, such as further refinement of the landing burn in preparation for the eventual booster “chopsticks” catch. The focus for Block 3 vehicles will be on performing orbital launches and subsequent reusability and recovery.The next flight is a critical step in finalizing the Starship Version 3, the iteration that will be used for orbital launches and ultimately for crewed missions to the Moon and Mars.Here’s an overview of the most recent successful test: SpaceX Starship Stuns With Perfect Splashdown | Musk Celebrates Historic 11th Test Flight Success – YouTube.This video is relevant as it provides coverage of the successful Flight 11 test and its key achievements.
Well, it’s complicated. While a cooler spot might sound good in a warming world, the cold blob is a sign that major ocean currents are changing. That could have big impacts on weather patterns and sea levels around the globe. Scientists are still studying it to understand the full effects.
Tilt of the earth?
That’s a great question! The Milankovitch cycles do play a role in Earth’s long-term climate patterns, but the cooling of the cold blob is happening much faster than those cycles would predict. Scientists believe it’s primarily driven by the melting of the Greenland ice sheet and its impact on ocean currents.
Fish return
Editor’s note: The government of British Columbia opened a recreational fishing season on returning salmon in the Fraser River on the 22nd of August 2025, this abundance of return is being credited to some cooler water by some sources. This brief opening is 11 Days ending on September 1st 2025. Many sources are lined up to take credit. In our view it may be a result of the rest the environment got during COVID.
Farmers’ Markets in British Columbia and Canada While an exact, single number for all of Canada is not readily available, data from the BC Association of Farmers’ Markets (BCAFM) indicates a robust and growing market scene in British Columbia. As of recent studies, there are over 145 farmers’ markets across British Columbia. Effect on Farmgate Price Farmers’ markets have a significant and positive effect on the “farmgate price,” which is the price a farmer receives for their product at the farm gate, before any processing or distribution costs. Here’s how: * Direct-to-Consumer Sales: By selling directly to consumers, farmers eliminate the need for intermediaries such as wholesalers, distributors, and grocery retailers. This allows them to capture a much larger portion of the final retail price, often receiving 100% of the price paid by the customer. * Pricing Flexibility: Unlike a large grocery chain with standardized pricing, farmers at a market have the flexibility to set their own prices based on a variety of factors, including the quality of their product, the cost of production (e.g., whether it’s organic), and the local demand. * Economic Impact: A 2023 study by the BCAFM found that member markets in British Columbia generated $155.3 million in direct sales. This revenue goes straight to local farmers and food producers, contributing to a substantial economic impact on the local community. Farmers who sell directly are also more likely to patronize other local businesses, creating a positive multiplier effect. Disposition of Food Farmers’ markets change the “disposition” of food by influencing its distribution and what happens to unsold products. * Alternative Distribution Channel: Farmers’ markets provide a vital alternative to the conventional food supply chain. This is particularly beneficial for small-scale farmers who may find it difficult to meet the high volume and standardization requirements of large retailers. Markets also foster a direct relationship between producers and consumers. * Community-Based Programs: Many farmers’ markets, such as the ones in Vancouver, have “Donation Station” programs. At the end of a market day, farmers and vendors can donate any unsold fresh produce, which is then distributed to local food banks, community food pantries, schools, and other programs that support low-income and food-insecure individuals. * Reduced Food Waste: Farmers have more control over their inventory and can bring only what they believe they can sell. While some food may still go unsold, the direct sales model and donation programs help to minimize waste compared to the large-scale distribution system, where a single rejected shipment can result in a massive loss. Unsold produce can also be used for animal feed or composted.
