I don't know what these two huge pieces of #industrial #machinery are or what they were used for. There's really no info provided at the site to help identify the old abandoned things that you see there. If you know what these are, please educate me - TIA!

We decolonized a BC government sign before leaving the site. We saw many toxic black tar pools, all across this abandoned coal mine site.

The sign is attached to a tree and warns of the risk of injury, death, or damage. The background features a forested area with tall trees, and the remnants of an abandoned structure.

#Suquash was the site of the first #CoalMine on #VancouverIsland. It still has lots of cool ruins & abandoned #mining #industrial machinery in the middle of the forest & on the beach below. It's very isolated & you'll likely see no one else around, if you go. It's just slightly north of #PortMcNeill town centre.

I often take friends here, when visiting North Island because the site has many different elements. The forest has a section where multiple trees were split down the middle by lightening strikes. New trees, plants & fungi are growing out of the burned out trees. The beach is full of prehistoric fossils of ancient marine animals. It is well worth a day visit. Follow flags to avoid getting lost there - it's easy to lose yourself in dense forest, if the site is unfamiliar to you. Carry a big stick & poke the ground before walking ahead - to avoid falling into hidden sinkholes.

The site still needs environmental clean up. There's still lots of black, greasy, toxic water that bubbles up from underground. The government only put up danger signs but they've otherwise abandoned this site.

Here is a collection of articles to learn about climate change. In an accessible language (originally intended for children): kids.frontiersin.org/collectio

#emissions #CO2 #GHG #mining #rareEarth #drilling #coal #oilAndGas #methaneGas #gas #naturalGas #oil #methane #climateChange

estimates of future greenhouse gas emissions vs the amount of warming they can cause

"If we want to limit warming to around 1.5°C, we must achieve net zero emissions in the second half of the century (blue line). According to all the climate pledges, scientists’ best estimate of warming would be around 2°C (purple line). Pledging countries must create climate policies to reduce emissions further. If we estimate only based on current policies, the world will not reduce emissions fast enough (orange area) and global warming will go well over 2°C, leading to worse climate impacts."
