Solastalgia: the feeling of loss and melancholia that kicks in as your home environment changes before your eyes ... the deep emotional and psychological distress that more people will confront as global warming drives their climate past recognition. macleans.ca/society/enviro…

A rainbow appeared over Yellowknife. Virtually everyone left in the city took it as a sign from the gods – and sent us a photo. cabinradio.ca/144797/news/ye…

Global floods & fires this summer must surely show all governments that it’s too expensive not to take immediate & massive action on climate. Stopping new fossil fuels is essential. We have the solutions to a better future. #ActOnClimate

@benderannie @CBCDay6 Hi Annie. Thanks for reaching out. We're just going to focus on getting everyone safe right now. Really appreciate your work and the work of the CBC. Excellent coverage. 💕

@MarchildonSarah Hi Sarah. I'm a producer @cbcday6. I'm so sorry for what your family is going through. If there's any chance your sister or other contacts might be willing to take 5-10 min to speak with me by phone about the evacuation, I'd appreciate it. DM or Annie.bender (at) cbc (dot) ca

Worried about everyone in the Northwest Territories, especially my mom, brother-in-law and niece (who are evacuating Yellowknife by car this morning) and my sister (who is a nurse so she has to stay behind to help evacuate patients from the hospital). 💕cabinradio.ca/142263/news/ye…

My sister is still in Yellowknife because she is a nurse at the hospital and is helping to evacuate patients. Now might be a good time to order military aircraft to start airlifting people out of Yellowknife. @BillBlair @JustinTrudeau

Sometimes a crisis hits so hard that a country needs help from others to overcome it. That’s not one-way humanitarian saviourism, it’s international solidarity. 200 South African firefighters land in Edmonton, Canada to help fight the wildfire. Sound up 🔊
