December, in my memory, is white as Lapland, although there were no reindeers. But there were cats. Patient, cold and callous, our hands wrapped in socks, we waited to snowball the cats. Sleek and long as jaguars and horrible-whiskered, spitting and snarling, they would slide and sidle over the white back-garden walls, and the lynx-eyed hunters, Jim and I, fur-capped and moccasined trappers from Hudson Bay, off Mumbles Road, would hurl our deadly snowballs at the green of their eyes.Script 311 a.m. Office. Oh my God. Daniel Cleaver just sent me a message. Message Jones: You appear to have forgotten your skirt. As I think is made perfectly clear in your contract of employment, staff are expected to be fully dressed at all times. CleaveHah! Undeniably flirtatious. Have never messaged Daniel Cleaver before but brilliant thing about messaging system is you can be really quite cheeky and informal, even to your boss. Also can spend ages practising.

Oh no, no!"The finger still was there."Spirit!" he cried, tight clutching at its robe, "hear me!I am not the man I was. I will not be the man I must have been but for this intercourse.

Episode 125 is a conversation with Emma Brackett and Olivia Bledsoe - half of the team of paddlers known as the Hudson Bay Girls. In 2025 this group of four women successfully paddled and portaged their canoes over 1,300 miles, from Grand Portage on Lake Superior all the way to York Factory on Hudson Bay. The journey took them 80 days and followed the historic fur trade route along the Border Country to Lake of the Woods, and then north to Lake Winnipeg, the Hayes River and on to the Arctic Ocean. Emma and Olivia share their insights about 12 hour portages, team travel, navigating high water and low water, tackling the Grand Portage, Manitoba and Ontario wildfires, and how trust in teamwork got them through the many challenges of their journey.

The Red River of the North starts at the confluence of the Bois de Sioux and Otter Tail rivers and forms most of the border between Minnesota and North Dakota. It then crosses into Manitoba and empties into Lake Winnipeg before its waters finally flow into the sea at Hudson Bay. Cities have grown up along its banks including Fargo, Grand Forks and Winnipeg and their residents are all too aware of one unfortunate feature of the river. Unlike most large U.S. rivers, it flows from south to north.

Your RV Navigators want to wish all of our listeners a very merry Christmas and a prosperous new year. For your favorite RVer, we've included some gift suggestions in case your still shopping. This month has been a busy one for us, as we travel to Churchill, Manitoba to see the polar bears in their nature environment. This was not an RV trip as we traveled by plane 1300 miles North to Hudson Bay, home to the Polar bears. Viewing is done in tundra rovers. These are large bus like vehicle that are designed for rough terrain with huge wheels and special suspension/engine. We were luck to get within feet of the bears for some great photos. This was a 6 day adventure so we were back home in IL before we knew it ready to head back to FL for a couple of weeks. Now after TG we are once again back up north ready too enjoy the holiday season in snow.

Toronto's pop-punk powerhouse The Mendozaz are set to unleash their most ambitious and hilarious work to date, the eight-song concept EP The Completely Fictional History of This Great Nation of Canada, out November 3 on Cartridge Heart. Fronted by guitarist-vocalist Jonny alongside Michael on vocals and bass and Dic on drums, The Mendozaz have carved their name into Toronto's punk scene with relentless touring, wild live shows, and anthems built for gang shouts, beer spills, and grinning through the chaos. They've long been known for wrapping sharp hooks in self-aware humor, but on this record they go bigger, faster, and louder, with a clear mission to turn every basement, bar, and festival stage into a frenzy. The EP is bookended by a pair of songs so preposterously profane that reinforcements were needed. Members of Joan Smith and the Jane Does and The Meringues were brought in to provide extra fuel for the f-bombs. All songs were written by The Mendozaz and recorded between This Place Needs A Name and Arc Recording Studio by Matt Gauthier (Handheld, Wasting Time), who also handled mixing and mastering. The result captures the reckless charm of their live show while pushing their storytelling and arrangements into sharper, stranger, and funnier territory. The accompanying video-single “A Piercing Shriek of Death” sets the tone perfectly. “This was the first song written for this record,” says Jonny. “It's based on a very-true Canadian legend that we made up about an expedition of ice fishers being eaten alive by a school of great white sharks near Hudson Bay. I had an old recording of an instrumental jam we did six or seven years ago that I really liked. I channeled my inner Serj and came up with something unlike anything we've ever done. When recording the demo our engineer almost fell out of his chair laughing during the blood curdling scream. He's okay (I think). I needed to be authentic while channeling the plight of the victims of this totally-legit horrible tragedy. Thoughts and prayers.” It's a mix of heavy riffs, absurd humor, and unflinching commitment that defines the EP as a whole.THE MENDOZAZ ONLINE INSTAGRAM | SPOTIFY | BANDCAMP | FACEBOOK | WEBSITE Checkout my YouTube Channel with long form interviews from the Subversives | the History of Lowest of the Low. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9d1VSeOHYuxFWKuRdmn9j8UTW6AHwS_fAlso my Weekly Tour Vlog is up an live on the YouTubeshttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9d1VSeOHYuwphwhc4zd0VgY66f1OUQZp Pledge monthly with Patreon https://www.patreon.com/apologueShop Apologue products at http://apologue.ca/shopCheck out new Four Square Here: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/foursquare/brighton-beach-ephttps://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/foursquare/seven-oh-sevenhttps://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/foursquare/industry-at-home–21st-anniversary-remix-remasteredhttps://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/foursquare/when-weeks-were-weekends

At the edge of Hudson Bay, the Port of Churchill is being revitalized — reconnecting the Prairies to global markets and strengthening Canada's northern gateway to the world.In this episode of Disruptors: The Canada Project, John Stackhouse speaks with Premier Wab Kinew, Chris Avery of Arctic Gateway Group, and Grant Barkman of Decision Works about how Indigenous ownership, modern rail infrastructure, and drone-powered innovation are reconnecting the Prairies to global markets.As climate shifts open new Arctic passages and global trade routes are redefined, Manitoba is positioning itself as a northern link between the Prairies and the world — redefining how Canada moves goods, builds partnerships, and prepares for the future.

Vi sänder direkt från Abisko där björk, lingon, tall och kråkbär gör sig vinterklara på olika sätt. Och om en av världens största kolonier av spetsbergsgrissla. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Hur förbereder sig växterna inför vintern? Hur ser de olika strategierna ut för exempelvis björk, tall, lingon, gräs och mossor? Morgonens fältreporter Alexander Linder finns på plats på Abisko naturvetenskapliga station där växtekologen Ellen Dorrepaal ger oss en inblick i växternas förberedelser inför vintern. En vinter som ju är lång så här långt norrut och innebär utmaningar i kalla temperaturer och brist på såväl vatten som ljus. Ellen Dorrepaal forskar bland annat kring hur växternas liv ser ut under vintern.Och så får vi följa med på en resa till det stora innanhavet Hudson Bay i Kanada där en av världens största kolonier av spetsbergsgrisslor finns. Fågelforskaren Jonas Hentati Sundberg, som till vardags följer sillgrisslornas liv på Stora Karlsö utanför Gotland, besökte i somras den här kolonin. Han vill bland annat få reda på hur kopplingen mellan fåglarnas liv och havet under ytan ser ut. Hur kan en så stor koloni hitta tillräckligt med fisk att äta?Så här i höstrusket kryper vi gärna inomhus och tittar på naturfilm! Vi ber naturfilmaren Henrik Ekman ge oss några riktigt bra tips på aktuella naturfilmer. Och så ringer vi upp dykaren och undervattensfotografen Tobias Dahlin som gjort filmen Västerhavets hemligheter. Den utsågs nyligen till årets nordiska naturfilm 2025.Vi får också en rapport från Swedish biodiversity symposium som hölls för första gången nu i veckan i Göteborg. En konferens med över 400 deltagare, med fokus på hur samhället kan ställa om för att ta mer hänsyn till biologisk mångfald.I veckans kråkvinkel snubblar Lisa Henkow till på rullande ekollon och börjar tänka på naturens uppfinningar kontra det vi ger Nobelpris till.Programledare är Joacim Lindwall.

"I remember my dad chasing a brown snake through the back yard in his underwear" - Jamie Durie In this episode of Three Food Memories, Savva sits down with Jamie Durie at his house in Avalon, surrounded by 50 guests (and more than 250 indoor plants). On the menu is tuna sashimi in Kyoto, caribou carpaccio in Hudson Bay, and risotto alla Milanese, along with fond recollections of his youth in Tom Price, his acrobatic Manpower days, fatherhood, meeting Barack Obama, working with Oprah, his landscape and furniture design, how we can all make our homes a little more environmentally friendly, as well as the moment that took him from hot pants to pot plants (which may or may not have something to do with Molly Meldrum).Jamie's social cause is the Children's Cancer Institute, because every child should get the chance to grow up and grow old. But cancer cuts life short for hundreds of children every year. In Australia alone, every week, three young lives will be lost to the disease. For over 40 years, Children's Cancer Institute has been researching the causes, prevention and cure of childhood cancer.This episode is thanks to the team at Saint Cloche Atelier - saintcloche.com/pages/atelierSend us a textTo find out more about the project and Savva - head to threefoodmemories.comInsta - @savvasavas @threefoodmemoriesEmail us at threefoodmemories@plated.com.au, we'd love to hear from you!

Spanning the continent from Hudson Bay to Louisiana, the early years of the French colony were hard, and the population grew slowly. For decades, Samuel de Champlain (1567-1635), the Father of New France, led the fight for its survival, faced its extreme challenges, administered its affairs, and took personal charge of its development.

Von Eisbären-Wellness bis zum Beton-Fingerhut oder wo der Polar Bear mit dem Beluga tanzt. Ob hoch im Norden an der Hudson Bay oder im südlicheren Teil an der Grenze zu den USA – Manitoba weiss mit einer unerwarteten Vielfalt zu überzeugen. Gänzlich ohne Massentourimus und mit einer gewissen Exklusivität stehen Natur und Wildlife ganz hoch im Kurs. Wann aber ist die beste Reisezeit für Eisbärenbeobachtungen, zu welchem Zeitpunkt trifft man auf hunderte Belugas an der Hudson Bay und wieso werden die Autos in Churchill nie abgeschlossen? Die beiden Nordamerika Profis nehmen euch mit auf eine Reise durch eine noch grösstenteils unbekannte Provinz Kanadas. Was aber hat es mit dem Gimli-Glider auf sich, wo findet man ein historisches isländisches Dorf und in welchem Nationalpark kann man Bisons und Bären gleichzeitig bestaunen? Die zwei go2travel Gründer Robin und Michael lassen keine Anekdote aus. Moderation: Manuel Wälti

At its peak around 1712, New France was a vast territory in North America that stretched from Newfoundland to the Rocky Mountains and from Hudson Bay down to the Gulf of America. This immense territory was divided into five main colonies: Canada, Acadia, Newfoundland, Hudson Bay, and Louisiana—encompassing the vast interior of today’s United States, including the Mississippi River valley. However, French settlement was sparse, making New France an enormous zone of influence rather than a densely populated area. New France’s government under the French Crown consisted of a Sovereign Council consisting of three major officials: a Governor General, an Intendant and a Bishop, and a number of minor officials, including five councilors, an attorney-general and a clerk. The Sovereign Council was to be the sole governing authority in the colony and the intermediary between the king in France and his overseas subjects in New France.

Four women have returned to the United States after an 80-day, 1,380-mile canoe journey from Lake Superior to Hudson Bay in Canada. The group, who call themselves the “Hudson Bay Girls,” believes they are the first publicly documented all-women crew to complete the historic route.But the trip was about more than just paddling. The crew aimed to raise awareness about environmental stewardship and encourage more women to reclaim space in paddle sports.Two members of the team, Abby Cichocki and Helena Karlstrom, joined MPR News host Nina Moini to share their experience.

Wednesday morning, a committee on Capitol area security met for the first time since the shootings of two state lawmakers. MPR News politics reporter Clay Masters was at the meeting and joined the show to share what he learned about proposed safety improvements.

Listen in as I speak with Stephan Kesting—martial artist, author, and serious outdoor adventurer. In this episode, we're diving into highlights from his incredible solo 1,000-mile canoe journey from Missinipe, Saskatchewan to Arviat, Nunavut. He paddled and portaged through some of Canada's most remote wilderness, following the Churchill, Reindeer, Cochrane, and Thlewiaza Rivers, crossing massive lakes like Reindeer and Nueltin, and making his way down through the Barren Lands all the way to the shores of Hudson Bay.It's a wild story of grit, solitude, and survival.If you want the full trip report, check it out at grapplearts.com/solo, and if this kind of adventure speaks to you, Stephan's book Perseverance: Life and Death in the Subarctic is a must-read. https://www.amazon.ca/Perseverance-Death-Subarctic-Stephan-Kesting/dp/1639368612Huge thanks to Mannmade Cycles for sponsoring the My Back 40 PodcastSave 25% at Dynamic Cyclist when you use the promo code MB40 at checkout.Save 15% at Redshift Sports when you use the code MB40Save 50% off your first month of coaching at Cycling 101 when you use the code MB40 at checkout.Thanks to Spandex Panda for their support.Thanks to Lakeside Bikes in Invermere for keeping me rolling!

Water in the Red River Valley takes a path that may look odd on a map. That's because the Red River flows north to Lake Winnipeg in Canada. From there, it heads for saltwater, emptying into the Hudson Bay and eventually reaching the ocean. Somewhere along this route, lodged in a beaver dam or trucking downstream, are small wooden canoes that were decorated and launched by students from about 40 elementary schools in Minnesota and North Dakota. Each boat has a QR code and postcard instructing anyone who finds it to share the location. For more on the program called River of Dreams, MPR News host Nina Moini talks with Taylor Lemieux and Ashley Loe. Lemieux is a watershed education coordinator for the International Water Institute, based in Fargo, and Loe is a fifth-grade teacher in Grand Forks, N.D.

Henry Hudson. We don't know too much about his life prior to becoming a captain for the Muscovy Company of England. In his life he would tale 4 voyages looking to reach the east coast of Asia. 3 of those 4 voyages would start out going east only to run into ice. 2 of those voyages would discover some very cool things in the western world that would take his name (Hudson River, Hudson River Valley, Hudson Strait, Hudson Bay). Interestingly enough, all of his even numbered voyages had some degree of mutiny. The first mutiny-lite forced him to find a new country to sail for. His 4th and final voyage would return to England without him aboard. We don't know exactly what happened. What we know for sure is there is no way of knowing how or where Henry Hudson took his final breath. That mystery still lives on today. Join us as we get Historically High on Henry Hudson. Support the show

fWotD Episode 2993: Manitoba Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Tuesday, 15 July 2025, is Manitoba.Manitoba is a province of Canada at the longitudinal centre of the country. It is Canada's fifth-most populous province, with a population of 1,342,153 as of 2021. Manitoba has a widely varied landscape, from arctic tundra and the Hudson Bay coastline in the north to dense boreal forest, large freshwater lakes, and prairie grassland in the central and southern regions.Indigenous peoples have inhabited what is now Manitoba for thousands of years. In the early 17th century, English and French fur traders began arriving in the area and establishing settlements. The Kingdom of England secured control of the region in 1673 and created a territory named Rupert's Land, which was placed under the administration of the Hudson's Bay Company. Rupert's Land, which included all of present-day Manitoba, grew and evolved from 1673 until 1869 with significant settlements of Indigenous and Métis people in the Red River Colony. Negotiations for the creation of the province of Manitoba commenced in 1869, but deep disagreements over the right to self-determination led to an armed conflict, known as the Red River Rebellion, between the federal government and the people (particularly Métis) of the Red River Colony. The resolution of the conflict and further negotiations led to Manitoba becoming the fifth province to join Canadian Confederation, when the Parliament of Canada passed the Manitoba Act on 15 July 1870.Manitoba's capital and largest city is Winnipeg, the sixth most populous municipality in Canada. Winnipeg is the seat of government, home to the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba and the Provincial Court. Four of the province's five universities, all four of its professional sports teams, and most of its cultural activities (including Festival du Voyageur and Folklorama) are located in Winnipeg. The city has an international airport as well as train and bus stations; a Canadian Forces base, CFB Winnipeg, operates from the airport and is the regional headquarters of the North American Aerospace Defense Command.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:17 UTC on Tuesday, 15 July 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Manitoba on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Ivy.

When Richard Hsung promised his dying mother he'd finish her memoir, he didn't yet understand the weight of that vow—or the decade-long journey it would set in motion. In this episode, Richard shares his deeply personal path of honoring his mother's extraordinary life as an adopted child of American missionaries in pre-Communist China, a refugee from revolution, and a resilient physician under Mao. Together, we explore identity, inheritance, immigration, and what it means to find yourself between cultures while keeping a promise that spans generations.Interview recorded in Madison, WI.Key Takeaways:Richard's mother, Jean Tren-Hwa Perkins, was adopted by American missionaries after surviving the 1931 Yangtze River FloodHer extraordinary life took her across China, India, and the U.S. during wartime and political upheavalShe was separated from her adoptive parents for decades after the Communist revolutionDespite being trapped in China, she became a surgeon and survived persecution with the help of unlikely alliesRichard immigrated to the U.S. at 14, leaving behind his father and sister and navigating identity loss and cultural dislocationHe spent nearly 10 years completing his mother's memoir as a redemptive act of healing and honoring her legacyRichard reflects on the “third culture” experience—belonging fully to neither country but shaped deeply by bothCompassion, for Richard, starts with listening deeply and without judgmentRichard Hsung's Bio:Richard P. (Perkins) Hsung was born in China and immigrated to the U.S. as a kid with his mother. He earned a Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Chicago and became a professor at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities and the University of Wisconsin-Madison (https://richardperkinshsung.com). Richard spent ten years editing and completing "Spring Flower," written by his mother, Jean Tren-Hwa Perkins, MD. This three-volume memoir, published by Earnshaw Books (https://earnshawbooks.com), chronicles his mother's life as an adopted child of American medical missionaries, which began shortly after the catastrophic Yangtze River Flood in 1931 that killed millions.

On today's program... -- We'll hear from SARM President Bill Huber, who feels rural issues have been given short shrift during the federal election campaign. -- Manitoba's Premier has discussed increased trade with European representatives, and appears open to having a second port on Hudson Bay. -- A partner with Polar Pork says, once again, Canada's farmers are taking the hit for federal trade policies that have nothing to do with agriculture.

To begin this week's podcast, Peter and Jackie recap the past week's events, including President Trump's tariff U-turn and the escalating US-China tariff war.Next, the conversation turns to Canada, the upcoming federal election, and Arctic export ports. To help us understand the opportunities and challenges with Arctic ports, Chris Avery, CEO of the Arctic Gateway Group joins the show. The Arctic Gateway Group is an Indigenous and community-owned transportation company that operates the Port of Churchill—Canada's only Arctic seaport serviced by rail—and the Hudson Bay Railway, connecting The Pas to Churchill, Manitoba.Here are some of the questions Peter and Jackie asked Chris: What is the condition of the rail line to the port now? What types of goods are currently exported from the port, and what types are expected to be exported in the future? Is it a deep-water port? How much of the year is Hudson Bay covered by ice, preventing exports? Is it feasible to break the ice? They also discussed whether the port could be suitable for LNG exports. Content referenced in this podcast:Mark Carney, Liberal platform, economic pillars for change with a plan for Arctic ports (note, the Conservative party of Canada also has an Arctic control and sovereignty plan, but it does not explicitly identify energy export ports). Energy News “Arctic Pipelines to Capture European Market” (March 26, 2025), reporting that Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's initiative aimed at expanding the country's oil infrastructure toward the ArcticLNG Industry, “Ice-breaking LNG carrier for Yamal LNG project named Vladimir Rusanov” (January 2018)Ship Technology “Mikhail Ulyanov Ice-Class Tanker” (December 2008)The BC Government announces more flexibility for the LNG net-zero 2030 policy, see March 28, 2025 letter to project proponent and updated Climate Action Secretariat's Net Zero Plan Requirements Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/ Check us out on social media: X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research Institute Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotify

In the vast, snow-swept expanses of northern Canada, where the stark beauty of subarctic tundra meets the frigid waters of Hudson Bay, lies a small yet remarkably significant town that has captured the imagination of travelers, scientists, and nature enthusiasts worldwide. Churchill, Manitoba, with fewer than 1,000 year-round residents, might appear an unlikely candidate for international fame, yet this remote outpost has earned its reputation as the undisputed "Polar Bear Capital of the World." This isn't merely a tourism slogan but a testament to a truly extraordinary phenomenon that occurs here annually, drawing people from across the globe to witness one of nature's most spectacular gatherings. Each autumn, as the temperature drops and winter begins its inexorable approach, hundreds of magnificent polar bears – the world's largest land carnivores – converge on Churchill's shores, creating a wildlife spectacle unmatched anywhere on earth. The bears' migration patterns have made this small Canadian town the premier destination for those seeking to observe these majestic creatures in their natural habitat, all while experiencing the raw, unfiltered beauty of one of North America's last great wilderness frontiers.Support the showTripCast360 --- It's all about travel, lifestyle and entertainment.Web: TripCast360.com.Twit: https://twitter.com/TripCast360FB: https://www.facebook.com/TripCast360Insta: https://www.instagram.com/tripcast360/

Deep within Canada's Arctic territory lies a world most Canadians will never experience - a place where snowmobiles are purchased at the grocery store alongside milk, where polar bears rip steel doors off community freezers to steal walrus meat, and where lake trout grow to mythical proportions. This is the world Justin Jenkins has embraced, splitting his life between Winnipeg and remote Nunavut communities where he works in mental health.Justin's journey north began with a childhood fascination with lake trout after watching fishing shows featuring these mysterious cold-water giants. What started as an obsession evolved into a life-changing decision to move to Baker Lake, Nunavut - not for the quick money many southerners seek in northern jobs, but for the fishing opportunities and deeper connection to community.The conversation paints a vivid picture of life in Canada's most remote territory, where communities exist as islands with no roads connecting them to each other or the rest of Canada. Everything arrives by annual sea lift or expensive air freight. Yet within this isolation, Justin found purpose, describing how working in these tiny communities feels meaningful compared to southern life where one feels like "a grain of sand on the beach."Wildlife encounters feature prominently, from Justin's strategies for avoiding polar bears (more common in his current community of Chesterfield Inlet on Hudson Bay) to fascinating insights about barren-ground caribou and Arctic char. Particularly compelling is the contrast between southern conservation narratives about declining polar bear populations and the observations of Inuit elders who report seeing more bears than ever.The episode culminates with incredible fishing stories only possible in the Arctic - catching 70-80 lake trout in three hours, hand-wrestling a massive Arctic char, and landing a 46-inch lake trout that fought for 50 minutes during never-ending daylight. Justin's YouTube channel "Assorted Meats" captures these adventures, including fishing with unconventional items like tampons and sunglasses.As climate change transforms the Arctic faster than anywhere else, Justin's stories preserve a moment in time while honoring the resilience of communities that have thrived in this challenging environment for thousands of years. Join us for this remarkable conversation that will change how you see Canada's true north.

Despite recent declines in some goose populations, fresh data suggest that hunters have reasons to be optimistic about the number of young birds flying south this fall. Dr. Mike Brasher is joined by goose experts Josh Dooley (US Fish and Wildlife Service) and Frank Baldwin (Canadian Wildlife Service) to discuss indices for arctic and subarctic goose populations from Alaska to Atlantic Canada. Many areas experienced early spring and good to excellent conditions for nesting, with multiple indicators suggesting better production than what was experienced a few years in the past. New data and hunter reports from the prairies support these conclusions, so good luck to goose hunters as you head afield.Listen now: www.ducks.org/DUPodcastSend feedback: DUPodcast@ducks.org

This episode of the How to Protect the Ocean podcast delves into the alarming effects of the current heat wave in North America, discussing record-breaking temperatures and the escalating impacts of climate change. Topics include the risk of polar bear extinction due to low sea ice levels in Hudson Bay and the potential disappearance of coastal cities in the U.S. within the next century. Host Andrew Lewin encourages listeners to consider their role in protecting the ocean amidst these environmental challenges.

The record low sea ice in Hudson Bay is a direct result of the warming planet, with temperatures rising over one degree Celsius in the last 30 years. This warming trend has led to a significant reduction in the sea ice cover, affecting the polar bears' ability to hunt for seals and accumulate the necessary body weight for successful reproduction. Polar bears, classified as marine mammals, rely on sea ice as a platform for hunting and resting during their long swims. The extended ice-free period in Hudson Bay poses challenges for polar bears in finding food and maintaining their health. The loss of sea ice forces polar bears to swim longer distances, leading to increased exhaustion and reduced chances of successful hunting. The consequences of diminishing sea ice are dire for polar bears. The lack of sea ice means polar bears have fewer opportunities to hunt seals, their primary food source. This scarcity of food leads to polar bears traveling more, resulting in thinner and less healthy individuals. Additionally, the absence of sea ice puts polar bears at risk of drowning as they need the ice to rest and hunt effectively. The situation in Hudson Bay serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need to address climate change. The warming planet not only threatens the survival of polar bears but also disrupts the delicate balance of marine ecosystems. It is crucial for governments and individuals to take immediate action to mitigate the impacts of climate change and protect vulnerable species like polar bears from the brink of extinction. Coastal Cities in the U.S. Facing the Threat of Sea Level Rise Coastal cities in the U.S. are currently under a significant threat from sea level rise, a direct consequence of climate change. As highlighted in the podcast episode, the NOAA has shared an interactive map illustrating how each country would look after sea level rise of up to 10 feet. This rise in sea levels poses a severe risk to coastal communities and infrastructure. With approximately 60% of the global population residing along coastlines, the impact of sea level rise is widespread and concerning. In the U.S., coastal areas are particularly vulnerable to the effects of rising sea levels. The episode highlighted the example of Miami, a popular city known for its vibrant culture and tourism. The interactive map demonstrated how even a modest rise in sea levels could result in significant portions of Miami being submerged underwater. The consequences of sea level rise extend beyond mere flooding. High water levels put coastal communities at risk of severe flooding, which can lead to the destruction of homes, businesses, and critical infrastructure. This not only makes certain areas unlivable but also endangers the lives of citizens residing in these regions. Moreover, sea level rise can result in increased possibilities of extreme weather events, land loss, coastal erosion, saltwater intrusion, and freshwater contamination. These environmental changes can have far-reaching implications for the economy, public health, and overall well-being of coastal communities. As the episode emphasized, the issue of sea level rise requires urgent attention and action. The upcoming federal elections in the U.S. and Canada present a crucial opportunity to elect leaders who prioritize climate change mitigation and have robust climate action plans. It is essential for policymakers to implement effective strategies to address sea level rise and protect coastal cities from the escalating impacts of climate change. In conclusion, the threat of sea level rise to coastal cities in the U.S. is a pressing issue that demands immediate action. By raising awareness, implementing sustainable policies, and prioritizing climate resilience, we can work towards safeguarding coastal communities and infrastructure from the adverse effects of rising sea levels. The upcoming elections in North America, specifically in the United States and Canada, will play a crucial role in determining the future actions taken to combat climate change. As highlighted in the podcast episode, the decisions made by the elected officials in these countries will have a significant impact on the trajectory of climate change mitigation efforts. In the United States, the federal election scheduled for 2024 will be a pivotal moment in determining the country's stance on climate change. The podcast emphasizes the importance of electing officials who prioritize climate action and have concrete policies in place to address the pressing issue of climate change. The contrast between political parties in their approaches to climate change is stark, with one party actively working towards climate action while the other party lacks a comprehensive climate action plan. Similarly, in Canada, the upcoming federal election in October 2025 will also be a critical juncture for determining the country's direction on climate change. The podcast underscores the necessity of evaluating the climate action plans put forth by different political parties and choosing to support those that prioritize environmental sustainability and climate resilience. The podcast episode emphasizes the urgency of electing officials who are committed to implementing effective climate change policies. It stresses the need for voters to consider the climate action plans of political parties and make informed decisions based on which party offers the most robust and actionable strategies to combat climate change. The outcome of these elections will shape the future trajectory of climate change mitigation efforts in North America and have far-reaching implications for the environment and society as a whole.

“Sky carp” and “Saving the Tundra” are phrases that have become commonplace in the vernacular of light goose hunters across North America. Although born from well-intentioned conversations around once-hyperabundant light geese and the Light Goose Conservation Order, waterfowl managers consider these derogatory phrases undeserved and unfortunate. On this episode, Kevin Kraai of Texas Parks and Wildlife makes the case for changing this narrative and bringing respect back to light geese. We also dig into data showing an 86% decline in the midcontinent light goose population, shrinking breeding colonies, recovery of arctic staging grounds, and new science on how repeated disturbance may influence light goose body condition. If this evolving story tells us anything it's that what we know today is likely different from what we'll learn in the future and why we should never stop asking questions.www.ducks.org/DUPodcast
