We met Henry Jones two years ago at the first International Symposium on Bread in 2017. Back then, he was making a name for himself as the head baker at Butcher & Bee in Charleston, SC. He’d initially joined the team to work under the head baker, Joe Shea, who left a few months into Jones’ tenure. Jones was named his successor (at only 22 years old) and quickly caught the attention of Glenn Roberts of Anson Mills. We sit down with Jones two years after first meeting at the third annual symposium. He’s now working with Roberts and Kay Rentschler developing recipes for the Anson Mills website. We talk about working with some of the more unusual Anson Mills products and his transition to writing recipes aimed at home bakers. HRN On Tour is powered by Simplecast.

Microburst Mayhem On the evening of June 8, I was getting ready to head out to the climate change presentation that I'll play during the second portion of this episode, and wouldn't you know it, minutes before I left the house, an extremely severe storm hit Canmore. It postponed the presentation slightly as traffic slowed to a halt and audience members were delayed. Little did I know that a little further west, along the Bow Valley Parkway in Banff National Park, a massive microburst was creating mayhem near to the Johnston Canyon campground and chalets. A microburst hits like a weather bomb. A wet microburst hits like a tornado but lacks the rotational movement. Think of it as a super intense downdraft of sinking air that hits the ground like a hammer. These downdrafts usually come with mind-boggling amounts of moisture and winds in excess of 100 km/hour. Like a tornado, microbursts are extremely local events, usually only affecting a few 100 metres to a few kilometres in size. Climatologists have defined them as extreme downbursts that extend no more than 4 km over the surface. It's small scale, results in much higher wind speeds. They're caused by a huge change in air pressure and the air picks up speed as it descends. Essentially, when a large storm happens, dry air draws moisture from the wet air. This cools the wet air and it begins to sink. The bigger the difference in moisture, the bigger the difference in the air pressure. This cool, low-pressure air drops like a stone. As the downdraft descends, it accelerates. When it hits the ground, it bursts outward and accelerates even faster increasing the potential for damage from the high winds even more. In this particular case, the epicentre was just east of Johnston Canyon along the Bow Valley Parkway in Banff. When I visited on Monday, I explored a little of the impact zone and it was absolutely impassable. Almost every tree was either snapped off or uprooted within an area covering almost 10 hectares. When the storm hit around 5 pm, the debris began flying almost immediately. While the burst was focused primarily east of the campground and resort, a number of trees damaged 90-year-old cabins at Johnston Canyon Resort. In the campground, falling trees caused the evacuation of 100 campers from the Johnston Canyon Campground to Tunnel Mountain in Banff for safety. The storm took out power lines and dozens of trees blocked the Parkway. I do a regular nature walk that passes the site of a small microburst that happened years ago, but this scene really helped me to understand the power of a large-scale event. Events like this have been historically rare in the mountains, but they do happen. However, with warming climates, we get more extreme storms on a more regular basis. Currently, the Rockies is receiving more moisture than it did historically, but it's getting it in fewer, more extreme events. Globally, microbursts have resulted in numerous commercial plane crashes during takeoffs and landings. Understanding weather and the implications of events like microbursts can help us to stay safe in the mountains. When hiking, it's becoming more and more important to keep your eyes on the sky. Look for sudden changes in weather and air pressure. In the mountains, we often are unaware of an approaching storm until it appears over the top of the nearest mountain. This storm has illustrated just how scary severe storms can be and we all need to take extra precautions in these changing times. In the Rockies, we often have warm air rising over the course of the day, condensing around the mountain tops. This 'orographic' or mountain weather often causes short-lived, extreme thunder storms in the late afternoon or early evening, as was the case in this storm. Coincidentally, this is often just about the time many hikers are cresting the summit ridge on a long walk. If you can see visible changes in the cloud cover, or sudden changes in the direction of winds, it may indicate a coming change in the weather. Take the time to learn a little more about predicting the weather when you're exploring the mountains. If you hike a lot, it will definitely pay off in the long run. High Elevation Climate Change by Dr Pomeroy Dr. Pomeroy recently received the largest water research grant in the world to start the Global Water Futures. It's focused on the impacts of climate change on water systems and will look at helping Canada predict the impacts of climate change on water availability and ways of dealing with and predicting extreme weather events. I hope you enjoy Dr. Pomeroy's presentation. It really brings into focus the huge amount of work yet to be done on high elevation climate research. It also brings into sharp focus that the runoff from mountain rivers effects almost every corner of this country, from the Pacific Ocean to Hudson Bay. Wheat growing on the prairies receives most of its water from melting snow and ice in the mountains. While today, we are getting a higher amount of runoff simply because we are seeing increased melting of our glaciers, that is a bill that will soon come due. As you watch the high river levels this year, remember, that is our future going down the drain. Next week, I'll share the final of this 3-part climate series with a presentation by Dr. Joe Shea who is an expert on using drones in climate science in high mountain landscapes.

Story 1 - What will 2050 be like in western Canada Recently the CBC website posted an article by Tara Carman about the potential changes that will take place in British Columbia in the next 30 years with just a 2.5C increase in temperature. The story paints a troubling picture for Canada's westernmost province. It's no secret that our weather has been changing. Here in the Rockies, we are getting more overall moisture during the summer months, but it is coming in fewer, more extreme weather events. Many of these events are separated by droughts that set the scene for huge fires. The 2016 fire, known as the 'Beast' which devastated Fort McMurray, Alberta is a classic example. Even in British Columbia's rainforests, there have been significant fires over the past few years. If Canada were to halve our greenhouse emissions by 2050, that would still result in a 2.5C increase in the annual average temperature for British Columbia. Most scientists agree that an increase of just 2C over pre-industrial levels is the point at which the impacts of climate change become far more difficult for humans to deal with. Globally, it will cause longer droughts, intense heatwaves and disruptions to global food supplies. It will also result in sea level increases of more than half a metre resulting in the flooding of many coastal communities like Vancouver and Victoria. Currently, we're already half way to this 2C threshold. We're already experiencing a warmer planet than we have experienced in the past 10,000 years. Despite this, British Columbia could easily exceed that 2C point and experience 2.5C. So, what might this mean for the province? Here are a few bullet points: • Sea level could rise by 30 cm • 25% of the provinces glaciers will have disappeared completely • Flooding in the lower mainland can exceed $32.7 billion • The wettest day of the year will be 10% wetter than it is today • Days above 25C will increase from the current 18/year to a whopping 30 If you like sandy beaches, like Jericho Beach, higher sea levels could erode away the sand during storms. The seawall in Stanley Park will take a pummeling. You can also forget flying into Vancouver during severe storms as the airport, along with other low lying areas like the ferry terminal at Tsawwassen may be under water. The world class salmon runs on the west coast are dependent upon cold water runoff from the mountains. The ideal temperature range for trout and salmon is between 13 and 18C. As ocean temperatures rise with the reduction in cold water melt due to glacier loss, the temperatures can quickly exceed 20C. The Fraser River is Canada's most productive salmon river, but according to Fisheries and Oceans Canada, the average summer temperature rose by 1.1C between 1953 and 1998. As winters become milder, smaller snowpacks also melt quicker - and may disappear long before the summer salmon runs begin. If the cold meltwater is finished before the run, than the water temperature has more opportunity to increase to the point of being harmful to salmon runs. Now while increases in growing seasons may seem super cool, we forget that there are certain advantages to being a cold climate. Cold temperatures are very efficient at keeping many problematic insect pests and diseases at bay. While many people accuse the mountain pine beetle of being an invasive threat, it is a naturally occurring insect of the western mountains. At its peak, it resulted in a loss of over half of British Columbians pine by 2012, and likely 58% by the end of this year. Historically, it was climate that kept it under control. All we needed to keep it at bay was proper winters. A few weeks of -40C was very handy but since we're not getting that any more, the beetles have been able to spread much further north than ever before. In several cases in the 2000s, beetles that were part of huge epidemics were able to hitch a ride on atmospheric winds and Dorothy their way to a new and wondrous land…no, not Oz, but worse…far into northeastern British Columbia and northwestern Alberta. The significance of this long-distance transport means that they have now migrated far enough north to make their way into the Canadian Shield. They've also made the jump from lodgepole pine to jack pine meaning they now have a straight run across northern Canada, all the way to the eastern pine forests of Ontario and south all the way to Texas and Florida Other pests moving north into the mountain west include the spotted-wing drosophila which attacks cherries before they have a chance to ripen. The females lay their eggs in the unripe fruit which allows them to destroy the fruit before harvest. Little Cherry Disease is another challenge that is hitting British Columbia orchards. It causes cherries to be smaller and more bitter and, as a result, unsalable. Globally, insect pests are moving north at a rate of almost 3km/year, increasing the already high rate of global crop loss of 10-16% annually. Some fungi, are moving north at a rate in excess of 10km/year (https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/crop-pests-on-the-move-due-to-climate-change/). Around the world, there is no crop more important than wheat, and Canada produces almost 30 million tonnes of wheat every year. We are the worlds 6th largest exporter and climate change could challenge that supremacy. Recent studies show that an global increase in temperature of just 1 degree Celsius could reduce wheat production by between 4.1 and 6.4 percent. Globally, that would be a loss in excess of Canada's entire annual production and reach as high as 32 million tonnes. British Columbia's inland rain forest is also under threat of increased wildfires. While it's difficult to think of rain forests burning, we need to remember one important fact about the interior rain forest - it doesn't get enough rain to really be considered a rain forest. What it does get is some 10 metres of winter snowfall, at least it does today. While this doesn't make it truly qualify as a rain forest, it does release vast amounts of moisture through snow melt during the summer, and this helps keep the soils saturated. In essence, it simulates a rain forest. Should the summer rains, and winter snows diminish, these ancient forests could find themselves susceptible to increased fire hazard. Changing climates are changing the rules. Everything we grew up considering normal is now up for renegotiation. Climate is changing. Water regimens are shifting. While we may see more warm weather, the weather brings with it a constantly shifting collection of complications and implications. One thing that is critical in these changing times, is that we can trust the science that our economies are built upon. Everything we know about climate change is the result of climate models that help us to anticipate how we may be effected as the various elements of change are established. Next up…Climate in the age of Trump Story 2 - Climate Science in the Trumpocene Last week, I was lucky to be able to record a presentation by three of Canada's top experts on water and climate change, Bob Sandford, Dr. John Pomeroy and Dr. Joe Shea. Bob is the EPCOR Chair for Water and Climate Security and the United Nations University Institute for Water, Environment, and Health. He is the author of dozens of books including the United Nation's Water in the World We Want as well as Cold Matters: The State and Fate of Canada’s Snow and Ice. He has long been a friend and mentor. His message on the challenges facing climate scientists today is important for anyone who believes in the scientific process and the role of peer reviewed science. I hope you enjoy his presentation entitled: The Hard work of Hope. Scientific Fact vs Politicized Fantasy in the Post-Truth Trumpocene.
