And can you share data and can we work together and try to figure this out?

Yeah, so that might be a case of what we could legitimately call winners.

So some of the plants, I think, on the landscape were winners in the sense that they were able to absorb more carbon.

And the reason for that is because, well,

the area that the heat dome affected was so massive, right?

So it was over almost all of BC and into Alberta and Oregon and Washington.

And so across that huge area, there are some areas that just happen to normally be a little bit cooler and wetter, right?

And so those areas, if they heat up a bit, it can actually be good for them.

It's like they're performing better than they would have normally.

Whereas the areas that are normally hot and dry, that pushed them past their limit.

We're heading towards different ecosystems, ecosystems that maybe have different species in them as new species move in from further south.

But we know that we can also be really proactive with our management.

So we need to start putting things in place now to prepare for these heat waves because we do know that they are coming and going to be more and more frequent moving forward.

Thanks so much.

Me too.

Have you ever told a lie?

Are you serious?

Wasn't lying part of the job description of CIA?
