Environmental news from BC, Canada, 16 July.

Drought conditions in British Columbia are worsening, with unprecedented levels of drought observed early in the season, emphasizing the need for water conservation.

2. British Columbia has requested 1,000 additional international firefighters to help combat the province's wildfires.

The Canadian government is prepared to deploy resources, including military assistance, to support firefighting efforts in B.C.

The province is experiencing a severe fire season, with over 350 wildfires burning, and is looking for more firefighting support, particularly air equipment.

3. British Columbia and Alberta have contrasting policies on coal mining, with B.C. continuing coal mining in the Rocky Mountains while Alberta restricted it due to environmental concerns.

Alberta's shift away from coal mining in the 1970s was influenced by the emergence of an environmental movement and the rise of the oil industry in the province.

B.C.'s support for the metallurgical coal industry and the failed plan to make every resident a shareholder in a coal company contributed to the continuation of coal mining in the province's Rockies.

4. Metallurgical coal, also known as coking coal, is a high-quality coal used in steelmaking that emits significant greenhouse gases during the production process.

British Columbia is a major producer of metallurgical coal, with stringent regulations and high-quality reserves, making it a trusted source in the industry.

While demand for metallurgical coal is expected to decline in the future due to the development of greener alternatives like hydrogen, the industry continues to play a significant role in steel production worldwide.

5. The Port of Vancouver is the busiest coal export terminal in North America and exports large amounts of both metallurgical and thermal coal.

Coal exports from the Port of Vancouver contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions and may lead to increased shipping traffic and potential environmental damage.

More on thermal coal here and here. In brief:

The B.C. government saw record revenue from coal exports in 2022, which facilitated social spending.

Canadian thermal coal exports continue to rise due to demand from Asian countries, despite global efforts to phase out coal production. Asian countries are still building coal plants and relying on Canadian thermal coal for its high energy output and supply diversification.

The market for coal is expected to shrink in the coming years as global commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions increase.

The provincial government is promoting its CleanBC plan to lower emissions while simultaneously projecting lower revenue in the short term as natural resource prices are expected to fall. The government is also working on a trade diversification strategy.

👩‍🚒#OyeBombera 🚒 Today I didn't get any running or real training in as I was working the Fire Muster my department helped host. Along with One World Medics, we had as our Grand Marshal @oyebombera If you don't know about here she is a well know Firefighter from Mexico. I had a great time meeting her and hearing how she was the only female on her department in Mexico. I kinda amused her when i explained to her that me becoming a Firefighter along with running Marathons and losing 178 pounds was my midlife crises I ran into her also when I was on a medical run in my Engine 41 and she rolled up riding on Engine 11. If you get a chance, please give her a follow and check out her vlogs and video, she is a very interesting fillow6 👩‍🚒*****🚒*****����****🚒******👩‍🚒 #FemaleFirefighter #internationalfirefighter #Run #Workout #wlsfirefighter (at East Central Fire & EMS) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChyRUGKj-YD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

These kids are on fire🔥!!! We got invited to visit the fire station in the heart of Rome.🚒 ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ What an interesting place with lots of antique fire fighter equipment. We were lucky enough to get a private tour and history lesson. Oh, and only in Italy does the fire station have a museum and a chapel.😄⁣⛪ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣#firestation #heros #firefighter #truck #fire #firetruck #trip #familytravelbloggers #carryonwithkids #familytravelgram #familytravelfriends #familytraveler #familytravelideas #takethekids #familytravelca #familytravelgoals #familytravel #nodistancetoofar #familytravelers⁣ #tour #funwithkids @internationalfirefighters @carryonwithkids https://www.instagram.com/p/B78nbA4FWuW/?igshid=1c70cjn1iono0
