Be there or be square with CC, and get the vibe right for the climate crew.

According to the latest reports from the United Nations and the World Meteorological Organization, climate change is still a very serious and urgent issue that requires immediate action from all levels of society

12. Extreme weather events such as heat waves, droughts, floods, storms, and wildfires are becoming more frequent and severe due to human-induced global heating23. The current global temperature rise is 1.1°C above pre-industrial levels, and every increment of warming will come with more devastating impacts on people and the planet14. The goal of limiting warming to 1.5°C is still achievable, but it requires unprecedented and rapid reductions in greenhouse gas emissions across all sectors14. Climate change is not only a scientific problem, but also a social and ethical one that requires climate justice and resilience for the most vulnerable communities1.

Thanks BC Hydro…

British Columbia hydropower and authority is a crown corporation or more understandably a non-profit enterprise chartered by the government to provide basic electricity to industry and consumers at a not for profit, minimum cost to the residences of British Columbia.

Not for profit means to keep returning retained earnings from year to year to the operation of the entity.

This flies in the face of the free market entrepreneurial driven philosophy that in some people’s minds creates what is called the unseen hand of market capitalism and provides for everyone in a trickle-down regime.

Canada is not a socialist country but it has a deliberately planned mixed economy so that the basics are provided and efficiencies from time to time are directed by government and returned to rate payers.

Although a number of marketing boards have gone by the way entities like BC hydro, the milk marketing board, and others must apply for rate increases and provide any efficiencies towards lower usage fees.

This is often resulting in secure bases for that risk generating entrepreneurial hand to operate and not cause things like critical shortages and loss of resources to wastage with unfettered marketing.

Are they getting carbon credits?

Oh. Canada we regard for you, a worldview that couldn’t make the true north Blue.

Make them show the unseen hand.

They do, show it, all public operations are legally a public interest and must file publicly. Touch wood.

Program

Avian friends

The Vancouver Avian Research Centre runs the bluebird nest-box program in the Nicola Valley – several of our members volunteer for this program. In addition to monitoring and cleaning the nest-boxes the group also records breeding success of both Western and Mountain Bluebirds and bands the chicks for long-term research. Carol Matthews is the Director of Public Outreach for the VARC and will describe the work being done on bluebirds in our area and beyond.

NNS

Presenters Susan Newton, Carol Holmes, and Susan Mathews will share on the Vancouver Avian Society’s research related to the Nicola Valley.

Avian Flu

The movement of viruses and other microbes are a current issue and ongoing one. The outbreaks of Avian flu are often address by the vaccination programs developed for populations.

They are data based on the internet.

Not everything on the internet is true, and because it’s on the internet that statement is true however it does not validate it’s truthfulness as fact. Facts need to be verified and they are sometimes very tied by attribution, so you should be concerned that who is saying a fact has and what their credibility is this logical person, the fictional character of Spock has some credibility I’ll ever remember he is fictional so we wish that you might all take heed and verify your facts. Example yes Spock is a Klingon in a United universe patrolling where no man had ever gone along with the federation based on Earth and going to the Stars. However whatever, what else, whatever, what else is true is that he’s a fictional character. Computer shut down the phasers.

Two species of beautiful bluebirds nest in the Nicola Valley – Mountain Bluebirds (Sialia currucoides) and Western Bluebirds (Sialia mexicana). Both species suffered precipitous declines in the mid- to late-1900s due to logging of old forest and streamside Cottonwoods that provided nest cavities, and the invasion of the introduced competitor European Starling. Today most of our bluebirds nest in nest-boxes provided on fence-posts in suitable open habitat. The Vancouver Avian Research Centre runs the bluebird nest-box program in the Nicola Valley using local volunteers – monitoring and cleaning the nest-boxes, recording breeding success and banding the chicks for long-term research. Carol Holmes and Susan Newton are local volunteers with this program and will describe the work being done to conserve bluebirds in our area and beyond.
