Forests are amazing. 17 per cent of forests in the N.W.T. — the portion that's considered 'managed' — absorb 4x more carbon dioxide than the entire territory emits, on avg. https://t.co/0oCJAyYBAM

Knowing climate change is expected to exacerbate wildfires in Canada & air quality is going to get smokier, @courtghoward wants to see a policy that'll trigger clean air shelters — like what the Yellowknife Fieldhouse became in 2014 — automatically. https://t.co/nHpTJnAimf

Jimmy Oleekatalik, the manager of the local hunters and trappers group, said he's happy the truck has been recovered. He was worried about the contamination risk it posed to local wildlife - incl. polar bears, narwhals + seals. https://t.co/LCbCpHM7tQ

A good sign in Nahanni Butte, N.W.T. this morning. Water only rose about 2-3" on the South Nahanni River overnight, compared to the several inches it's been going up in past nights. The latest on how the community is preparing itself: https://t.co/JwApchfbdV

"It’s scary that there are people with a lot of power in our government, who have decision-making power, who are actively working to not care about climate.” @OllieNWT/@CabinRadio https://t.co/OWiH6NvGaP

Jimmy Oleekatalik and Joe Ashevak told me the sinking of the truck could have been avoided altogether had the expedition consulted with people in Taloyoak - b/c the route they travelled is known to be “very dangerous.”

The manager of the hunters and trappers group in Taloyoak, Nunavut, says a truck sunk by an Arctic expedition in one of his community's prime hunting grounds feels like a "stab in the back." https://t.co/QvQbWMMrZF

Squishing snow to keep permafrost cold? That's something researchers are testing out in the #NWT, saying it could become tool to keep permafrost thaw from damaging infrastructure. Props to @KarliZschogner for the help on this one. https://t.co/wV8hKwSsH2

Report commissioned by #NWT gov. says "reliable & convenient" network would have charging stations at 100 km intervals between #Yellowknife and Alberta border. https://t.co/Sjb9DJyd2s

Drivers of #electricvehicles in #NWT say their cars start in extreme cold, but distance they can drive on a single charge can be cut in half. "The range anxiety ... will be a bit of a concern until there's more infrastructure for more people to travel." https://t.co/F6xavZVnGu

The N.W.T. is mapping carbon that's stored in the ground (soil, peat, permafrost) and above ground (trees, vegetation) that will inform future policy. The last and final installment of a series about sequestered carbon in the territory: https://t.co/M0G922gpzS

Steven Nitah, who helped establish the Thaidene Nëné Indigenous Protected Area, says N.W.T. peatlands are "globally significant" and provide a nature service that's "required to give us a fighting chance" in the face of climate change. https://t.co/mIh8ywvHQ1

A pilot project in the #NWT thinned 11 hectares of trees. It may sound counter-intuitive in the fight against #climatechange - but the goal is for the remaining trees to grow bigger and healthier.. and store twice as much #carbon as a result. https://t.co/I0UDreT61i
