Amongst individual scientists, 99% agree with the consensus. It’s important to note that this is far greater agreement than existed amongst medical doctors about the cancer-causing effects of smoking, when the first U.S. smoking laws first went into effect (BeforeTheFlood.org)

Fact: While the Earth's climate has varied naturally in the past, the current warming trend is happening at an unprecedented rate and is strongly linked to human activities.

WILD ONES - MARCH
eastern coyote
Coyotes (Canis latrans) are versatile and intelligent creatures that roam forests, deserts, mountains and plains, and have adapted to even living in cities alongside people. They are not native to Ontario. When coyotes initially migrated into Ontario from the west in the early 20th century, they interbred with eastern wolves in central Ontario, resulting in the emergence of the "eastern coyote." Interestingly, all continents except the polar regions have been colonized by coyotes. In our area, they can usually be heard rather than seen at Ojibway Park.
