FORT MCMURRAY, Alta. — As the urban centre at the heart of Canada's oilsands industry, Fort McMurray has seen more than its share of ups and downs. A decade and a half ago, the northern Alberta community was this country's most famous boom town. High oil prices helped to drive unprecedented demand for the thick, viscous bitumen that lies beneath the earth's surface here, and workers flocked from around the world to cash in on the bonanza. Then crude prices crashed, layoffs began, and the frenzy

Research suggests climate change, not habitat loss, may be the biggest threat to the survival of threatened caribou herds. Biologists have long thought the herds are menaced by wolves using cutlines and clear cuts to follow deer into old-growth forests that once protected caribou. They thought restoring that habitat would reduce deer numbers and the wolves that prey on them, giving caribou a break in the process. Researchers tested that notion by comparing deer populations in a region bisected b
America’s rarest mammal is staring down extinction—but these specimens offer hope.
DENVER (AP) — Last year’s snow deluge in California, which quickly erased a two decade long megadrought, was essentially a once-in-a-lifetime rescue from above, a new study found. Don’t get used to it because with climate change the 2023 California snow bonanza —a record for snow on the ground on April 1 — will be less likely in the future, said the study in Monday's journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The study authors coined the term “snow deluge” for one-in-20-year heavy
