The GMBC weather manipulators (a covert arm of the club) are not always able to ensure perfect weather. Occassionally a town event or road construction may interfere with the race course. We try not to cancel races, but if severe weather or another event appears to put racers or volunteers in danger, the event will be cancelled. Only races on championship courses will be rescheduled.
What cancels races?
- Impending thunderstorms, moderate to heavy rain, high winds, fog or impaired visibility, extreme heat (heat indexes in the mid 90s and above), or cold
and (temperatures and wind chills below 30 degrees) are likely to cancel events. Weather radar and hourly forecasts are used for decision-making.
- Town events such as school graduations or other events that result in pedestrians on the course and/or increased traffic, or unavailability of the designated parking area may cause race cancelation.

Radiant energy from the sun is absorbed or deflected by leaves on deciduous trees in the summer.
The more compact the foliage on the tree or group of trees, the greater the influence of the windbreak for slowing cold, winter winds.
Trees intercept water, store some of it, and reduce storm runoff and the possibility of flooding.
Temperature in the vicinity of trees is cooler than that away from trees. By using trees in the cities, we are able to moderate the heat-island effect caused by pavement and buildings in commercial areas.
In the process of absorbing carbon dioxide from the air, leaves also absorb other air pollutants-such as ozone, carbon monoxide, and sulfur dioxide-and give off oxygen.

Hurricane Patriciaâ€”the most intense hurricane ever recorded in the Western Hemisphereâ€”was downgraded to a tropical depression with 35-mph sustained winds on Saturday, and offered to some observers a reminder of the consequences of a warming planet.
No fatalities from the historic storm, which forced the evacuation of some 50,000 people, have yet been reported, and initial reporting indicates no major devastation, damages from potential heavy winds, rains and landslides are still unfolding as the storm makes its way inland.
By Saturday morning Patricia had been downgraded to a Category 2. The National Hurricane Center reports, â€œOn the forecast track, the center of Patricia will move across central and northeastern Mexico today and tonight.â€
The New York Times reports:
The hurricane spared the densely populated centers of Puerto Vallarta and Manzanillo; it appears to have done the most damage to small villages between the two cities. For many in these impoverished communities, it could take much time to recover from even moderate damage.
The Weather Channel notes that flooding and mudslides remain potentially deadly threats, and adds: â€œEl Universal reported that multiple homes were severely damaged and banana and papaya crops were destroyed in Michoacan state. Mud and landslides closed several roads in the region. Some homes in Cuyultan, Colima, were flooded.â€
Before making landfall Friday evening along Mexicoâ€™s Pacific coast with sustained winds of 165 mph, the then-Category 5 storm was packing winds of 200 mph. â€œThese are the highest reliably-measured surface winds on record for a tropical cyclone, anywhere on the Earth,â€ meteorologist Jeff Masters wrote.
Masters and fellow meteorologist Bob Henson described Patricia as â€œstunning, historic, mind-boggling, and catastrophic.â€ They add that itâ€™s â€œthe fastest-intensifying hurricane ever observed in the Western Hemisphere,â€ and that Patriciaâ€™s â€œ200 mph sustained winds make it the 3rd strongest tropical cyclone in world history.â€
â€œHow did Patricia get to be so strong?â€ meteorologist Eric Holthaus asks atÂ Slate.
The answer, quite simply, involves human-caused climate change. Hurricane Patricia is exactly the kind of terrifying storm we can expect to see more frequently in the decades to come. Although thereâ€™s no way to know exactly how much climate change is a factor in Patriciaâ€™s explosive strengthening, itâ€™s irresponsible, at this point, not to discuss it.
â€œMeteorologically,â€ Holthaus adds, â€œthere are at least four reasons why global warming could have contributed to Patriciaâ€™s ferocity: El NiÃ±o, exceptionally warm ocean temperatures, increased atmospheric humidity and sea level rise.â€
The Washington Post also notes that â€œrecord-setting hurricanes are consistent with predictions by climate researchers about the consequences of a warming world.â€
The Post continues:
The oceans heating up because of climate change will have consequences, said Michael Mann, a climate researcher at Penn State University. â€œHurricane Patricia, and her unprecedented 200 mile-per-hour sustained winds, appears to be one of them now, unfortunately.â€
Such consequences were undeniable to Mexicoâ€™s climate negotiator at the Bonn, Germany climate talks, which concluded Friday and where delegates sought to hammer out a draft climate treaty ahead of the upcoming COP21Â talks in Paris.
Reportedly holding back tears, Roberto Dondisch urged the other delegates to reach consensus on a deal.
â€œIn about four hours, Hurricane Patricia will hit the Mexican coast,â€ Dondisch said. â€œI donâ€™t think I need to say more about the urgency to get this deal done.â€
Yet climate change campaigners say the Bonn talks failed to make the needed progress.
â€œThe deplorable inaction at the climate negotiations is a calamity for people across the world,â€ said Dipti Bhatnagar, Friends of the Earth Internationalâ€™s climate justice and energy coordinator. â€œWe are facing a planetary emergency with floods, storms, droughts and rising seas causing devastation. The risk of irreversible climate change draws ever closer, and hundreds of thousands of people have already paid with their lives.â€

Monsoon Alert: Several Areas In Mumbai Flooded After Massive Rain
As per the officials, Mumbai’s crowd and areas were badly affected after a mammoth amount of rain on Saturday. As a result, Traffic was distracted in Andheri Veera Desai road (Sorata Pada), Kurla Kamani, Gandhi market (king circle), Sangam Nagar (Wadala), Malad subway, Antop hill road No 07, Bandra National college, Hindmata, Sangam Nagar (Wadala) due to water getting logged at various these locations.
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has reported that many locations in Mumbai and its suburbs received 40-60 mm rainfall between 11 A.M. to 12 P.M. The corporation also mentioned that on Saturday a huge tide of 4.34 meters is expected at 1:32 pm and a low tide of 1.89 meters at 7:27 pm.
Tweeting on the same, BMC wrote, “Good Morning Mumbai. Heavy rainfall is expected in the city today, tomorrow as well as the day after. We request you to not venture out especially near the sea. Stay tucked in and safe at home.”
Because of heavy rainfall, local train services also got hindered. Several major sections of train tracks on the Central Railway were also closed.
Alerts have been issued by The India Meteorological Department (IMD). Mumbai is on Orange alert for Saturday and on a red alert for Sunday. In an earlier statement, IMD also stated that Mumbai and Thane districts would “very likely receive heavy to very heavy rainfall at a few places” on Saturday.
A high alert has also been issued by BMC to all the companies expecting “very heavy rainfall” in the coming two days after IMD’s forecast. All civic control rooms along with those operated by other companies have been issued the “high alert” directive, including big utility firms like Adani and BEST.
In the wake of this situation, the chief minister of Mumbai, Uddhav Thackeray has also asked authorities to clear out the inundated areas. Located on the windward slope of Western Ghats. Mumbai receives heavy rainfall every year. With the arrival of the southwest monsoon, Mumbai observed heavy rains for the first time this year on Wednesday. The rains flooded roads and railway tracks, hindering all suburban train services.

The Paris climate conference last December was heralded as the first major breakthrough to set concrete targets for dealing with global climate change. The signatories, including the major industrial nations, finally agreed to limit their greenhouse gas emissions in order to limit the global temperature increase to 2°C from pre‐industrial levels by 2100. In addition, Article 5 of the Paris agreement requires that “Parties should take action to conserve and enhance, as appropriate, sinks and reservoirs of greenhouse gases” (http://unfccc.int/resource/docs/2015/cop21/eng/l09.pdf). While it does not explicitly mention it, the agreement thereby throws down a gauntlet to scientists and biotechnology to accelerate their efforts on creating technologies that would help the world to keep atmospheric CO2 levels in check while preserving the environment.
… agriculture and forestry are fertile grounds for applying biotechnology: they are not just major contributors to climate warming but also play a potential role in reducing emissions.
Indeed, agriculture and forestry are fertile grounds for applying biotechnology: They are not just major contributors to climate warming but also play a potential role in reducing emissions. Agriculture generates more than a quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions, while the combined impact of forest fires and deforestation accounts for another 20% (http://www.un-redd.org/aboutredd). Vice versa, forests are major carbon sinks and have a lot of potential to sequester CO2 from the atmosphere. Agriculture will have to play a crucial role for sustainable energy production.
The task for molecular biology would fall into two categories while overlapping with a third. The first is the development of new technologies for solar energy conversion, not just for generating electricity, but also for synthesizing carbohydrates from atmospheric CO2 for fuel and as raw material for the chemical industry. The second category focuses on plant biotechnology to increase food production and carbon sequestration. …

Invisible Killer on Public Air pollution is a major environmental problem that affects people all around the world. It’s a complex problem that is caused by a variety of factors, including transportation, industrial processes, and burning fossil fuels. While air pollution is often thought of as a problem for the environment, it also has a significant impact on public health. In this article, we will explore the link between air pollution and public health, examining the effects of air pollution on the body and looking at what can be done to mitigate these effects.
The effects of air pollution on the body
Invisible Killer on Public Air pollution can have a range of negative effects on the body. Exposure to air pollution can cause a variety of health problems, including respiratory diseases, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. One of the most well-known health effects of air pollution is asthma, a chronic disease that affects millions of people worldwide. Exposure to air pollution can also cause chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which is a group of lung diseases that make it difficult to breathe.
Air pollution can also have a significant impact on cardiovascular health. Exposure to air pollution can increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular diseases. This is because air pollution can cause inflammation in the body, which can lead to the buildup of plaque in the arteries. This can ultimately lead to heart disease and other serious health problems.
Invisible Killer on Public Air pollution is also a known carcinogen, which means that it can cause cancer. Exposure to air pollution has been linked to several types of cancer, including lung cancer, bladder cancer, and breast cancer.
The impact of air pollution on vulnerable populations
While air pollution affects people of all ages and backgrounds, some groups are more vulnerable to its effects than others. This includes children, the elderly, and people with preexisting health conditions. Children are especially vulnerable to the effects of air pollution because their bodies are still developing. Exposure to air pollution during childhood can lead to permanent lung damage and increase the risk of developing asthma and other respiratory diseases.
The elderly are also at risk because they often have preexisting health conditions that can be exacerbated by exposure to air pollution. This includes heart disease, COPD, and other respiratory diseases.
People living in low-income communities and communities of color are also more likely to be exposed to high levels of air pollution. This is because these communities are often located near sources of pollution such as highways, factories, and power plants.
What can be done to mitigate the effects of air pollution?
Reducing air pollution requires a range of solutions. One of the most effective ways to reduce air pollution is to transition to renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power. This can help reduce the amount of greenhouse gases and other pollutants that are released into the atmosphere.
Another important solution is to reduce emissions from transportation. This can be done by promoting the use of public transportation, electric vehicles, and other clean transportation options.
Regulations and policies to limit emissions from industry and other sources are also important. This includes measures to limit emissions from power plants, factories, and other sources of pollution.
Improving air quality can also help reduce the impact of air pollution on public health. This includes measures to reduce indoor air pollution, such as improving ventilation and limiting the use of chemicals in homes and buildings.
Finally, efforts to raise awareness about the health impacts of air pollution are also important. This includes educating people about the risks of air pollution and providing information on how to protect themselves from exposure.
Air pollution is a major environmental problem that also has a significant impact on public health. Exposure to air pollution can cause a range of health problems, including respiratory diseases, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. Some groups, such as children, the elderly, and people with preexisting health conditions, are more vulnerable to the effects of air pollution. While there is no single solution to this problem, there are a range of strategies that can be employed to reduce the impact of air pollution on public health. This includes promoting the use of clean energy sources, reducing emissions from transportation and industry, improving air quality, and raising awareness about the risks of air pollution.

One of the biggest problems facing humans nowadays is global warming. The Earth is heating up: warmer temperatures are causing changes in climate around the world. Human demand for natural resources has increased rapidly, especially in developing countries. Human activities have led to the pollution of the environment, threatening living conditions for millions of species, including people themselves. If we do not take actions to reduce the risks now, the impacts of global warming on us will become more and more severe. The essay will discuss the problem of global wanning, its causes and effects and suggest some solutions for it.
Global warming is the rise in the average temperature of the earth due to the increase of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane and others in the atmosphere. People pollute the environment by burning fossil fuels; cutting down trees for farmland, wood and paper; increasing the use of chemical fertilizers on croplands… Human activities have serious consequences on the life on Earth. We have so far witnessed more severe storms, heat waves, droughts, floods and hight tides. Under extreme weather conditions, people have to suffer heat-related illnesses and infectious diseases.
Global wanning is seriously affecting our life on Earth in many ways, so everyone of us should do something to reduce it. Begin at home by reducing energy use: unplug all electronic devices when they are not use, avoid lighting at day time, use solar energy instead; saving clean water; planting trees or growing our own foods. Walking and biking to work are green methods of transport, also they are lun and good for health.
In conclusion, global warming is throating human beings and millions of spccies Earth. The Earth is the common home for all of us and because of this great attenti should be paid to environmental problems. Taking small but effective actions such reducing energy use, saving natural resources, planting trees or using green means L transportation can make the Earth a better place to live.

Source Emissions in Tailings Ponds, Oil Sands Region
Concentrations of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons and Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons in Tailings Pond Water in the Oil Sands Region – September 2013
To evaluate evaporation from tailings ponds as a potential source of emissions of pollutants to air, bulk water samples were collected from 8 locations in two ponds at a single facility in the oil sands region over two days in September 2013. Chemical measurements of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) were made. PAH data are reported for the sixteen species identified as priority pollutants by the US EPA. TPH refers to the total amount of hydrocarbon compounds. In this dataset, TPH values represent the amount of saturate and aromatic hydrocarbons measured in the tailings pond water samples as determined using specific analytical techniques (fractionation and gas chromatography). PAHs are included on the List of Toxic Substances of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA) and are subject to management under the Act. Preliminary estimates suggest that PAH emissions to the atmosphere from tailings pond water are significant when compared to other reported sources in the region, as reported in the paper by Galarneau et al., 2014.
Concentrations and Fluxes of Odours, Reduced Sulphur Compounds (RSCs) and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) Emitted from Tailings Pond Water in the Oil Sands Region – October 2014
To generate estimates of potential emissions to the air from tailings pond water, surface water samples were collected from five locations within a single tailings pond in October 2014. A laboratory flux chamber was used to evaluate potential emissions to the air from tailings pond water. The air was then analysed for reduced sulphur compounds (RSC), volatile organic compounds (VOC) and odour perceptibility. VOC and RSC fluxes to the atmosphere from tailings pond water contribute to the overall burden of smog- and odour-causing compounds in the region. Results are presented as concentrations in the generated air and as emission fluxes (i.e. rate of flow of the compound from the water to the air) derived using the flux chamber flow characteristics. Air concentrations measured using laboratory flux chambers simulate the state of the atmosphere under limited conditions and do not represent the full range of values that can arise due to variations in factors such as temperature and wind speed.Ambient air quality objectives (AAQOs) do not apply to air directly above emissions sources such as tailings ponds; nor do they apply to these air data generated from tailings pond water samples.

Have ever looked outside at a beautiful sunset and wondered why it's so colourful?
Here's a very simplified explanation.
Sunsets are a result from a occurrence called scattering. As the sun sinks lower in the sky, small particles in the atmosphere(dust, water droplets or pollution) change the direction of light rays. This causes them to "scatter". So when we see the sun lower on the horizon, it's light passes through more of this atmosphere. The intensity or variety of light and colour coming from the sky, is further determined by the type wavelength and the size of the particles and molecules present at the suns decent.
What is a wavelength of light? How does that effect the colours we see in the sky?
By definition a wavelength of light is the distance between the two successive crests or troughs of the light wave.
Even though light during the day appears without colour(white light) it actually contains all the colours of the rainbow! If you've ever had the pleasure to see sunlight pass through a prism or water droplets in the air, it divides light into all its then visible colours (a rainbow). Each of those colours or wavelengths have a different length, so that is why as the sun sinks further down we see different colours emerge. Violet and blues have the shortest wavelength we might see those colours first. All the way to orange and red with the longest. In turn we see those colours as the sun sinks even further away from our sight.
Vola a beautiful sunset is born!
There you have it, a very simplistic explanation to that question you might have when you're enjoying the entertainment in the sky.
Sunsets and sunrises are some one of the most beautiful parts of the day. So if you can, take the time breathe deeply and appreciate the wonder in the skies more often.

The weather system, which started as rain from Mexico but has since turned into snow, is forecast to affect an 1,800-mile (2,900 km) swath of the United States from Colorado to the Mid-Atlantic. The storm hit Kansas and Missouri on Friday and pummeled those states again on Saturday as it extended into parts of Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, said U.S. Weather Prediction Center meteorologist Andrew Orrison. In Kansas City, snow dusted the field at Arrowhead Stadium during Saturday’s National Football League playoff game between the hometown Chiefs and Indianapolis Colts.

York, PA and Hurricane Agnes
Hurricane Agnes’ rains flood York plant
June 22, 1972 (PD: 201306)
Hurricane Agnes struck the northeastern United States on June 22, 1972 and proceeded to drop torrential rains which caused devastating floods over much of the region. As a result, 129 people were killed and hundreds of thousands more were left homeless. Damage from the hurricane totaled nearly $3 billion ($16 billion in 2012 dollars).
While the storm was “only” a Category 1 (the weakest level) hurricane, it produced rain amounts of 19 inches in some locations. That fact, along with rivers that were already running high with snow melt, caused record flooding in several states. Pennsylvania was especially hard hit with fifty fatalities and over $2 billion (nearly $11 billion in 2012 dollars) in damages. The entire state was declared a disaster area.
In York County, home of the York Division of the Borg-Warner Corporation (now part of Johnson Controls’ Building Efficiency Business Unit), hundreds of people were forced from their homes, and industries were shut down by the flooding rains. Despite the muddy mess left behind by the storm, the York facility was back to operating at 80% capacity by June 25.

Québec has a varied climate, with four distinct seasons. In the summer months (June to August), temperatures can range from 20 to 30°C (68 to 86°F) in southern regions such as Montréal and Québec City. However, temperatures can drop to around 10°C (50°F) at night. In the fall (September to November), temperatures can range from 5 to 20°C (41 to 68°F) with colorful foliage providing great backdrops for filming.
Winter (December to March) is usually cold and snowy, with temperatures ranging from -15 to -5°C (5 to 23°F) in southern regions. However, temperatures can drop as low as -40°C (-40°F) in the Baie-James region and Nunavik in the north. It’s important to plan for cold weather conditions and have proper equipment and clothing. Spring (April to May) is generally mild, with temperatures ranging from 5 to 15°C (41 to 59°F).
Despite the varied climate, Québec offers many opportunities for filming outdoor scenes. However, it’s important to take into account the weather conditions and plan accordingly. Whether it’s the warm summer months or the snowy winter landscape, our team at Films.Solutions, as a film fixer, can help with transportation, equipment, crew, and location scouting to ensure a successful shoot.


Good air quality is essential for our health and the environment. Air becomes polluted when it contains substances that can have a harmful effect on the environment and / or our health.
The Department of the Environment published the original National Air Quality Strategy (NAQS) in May 1997. This set out a framework of standards and objectives for ambient air pollutants that have the potential to cause harm to human health,
All these pollutants are associated with local air quality problems and further information is available in the downloads section.
The aim of the NAQS was to reduce the impact on human health of these pollutants by reducing airborne concentrations of the pollutants. The NAQS identified air quality standards for these pollutants based on recommendations from the Expert Panel on Air Quality Standards (EPAQS) or World Health Organisation (WHO) guidance where no EPAQS recommendation existed. The NAQS set out specific target dates by which time these standards should be achieved.
The NAQS together with these standards and objectives have been periodically reviewed by the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions (DETR) (now DEFRA). The NAQS has now evolved into the Air Quality Strategy for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland (AQS). The goals of this strategy are the same as for the NAQS and incorporate European Directives.
The Air Quality Regulations 2000 set standards and objectives for seven pollutants that are associated with local air quality. The objectives are aimed at reducing the health effects of the pollutants to negligible levels.
Part IV of the Environment Act 1995 requires each Local Authority to review and assess the air quality in its area. The Air Quality Regulations 1997 define a phased approach to the review and assessment.


Pollution and Particulate Control
Industrial and utility boiler systems and furnaces most commonly combust solid fuels including Coal & Bio-Mass to release heat that can be transferred to water to generate steam. Combusting any fuel creates undesirable byproducts in the flue gas that can be harmful to the environment, including Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), and Carbon Monoxide (CO).
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in conjunction with local authorities mandate that environmentally harmful emissions be curbed to the approved levels and monitored to guarantee compliance. A variety of technologies can be used to control and monitor harmful emissions in the flue gas including Flue Gas Desulfurization, Electrostatic Precipitation, Carbon Capture, Wet Particulate Scrubbing, and Continuous Emissions Monitoring.


The ice and snow began to fall late Friday night, leaving Ansonians to wake up to a frozen white surface outside on Saturday morning. A small amount of ice and fine snow continued to fall during the day but most accumulated in the early morning hours Saturday.
There were no power outages reported in the county and no injuries or fatalities reported in connection with the storm.
"We had about 20 minor wrecks between Saturday and Sunday," said Rodney Diggs, Anson County's director of emergency management. "There were a couple of wrecks that people were transported from but there were no life-threatening injuries."
Anson County Schools and some businesses were closed on Monday, due to icy roads that remained in rural areas.
To prepare for the storm, Diggs said he met with key county agencies like Department of Social Services and the Sheriff's Office, as well as the American Red Cross, in the days leading up to the storm, just in case there was a dire emergency. He was also on conference calls with the state and National Weather Service at least once a day.
More snow is forecast for Anson County this weekend, with the National Weather Service calling for a mix rain and snow in the early morning hours on Friday, changing over to rain by Friday night.
"We're asking for people to stay home and not travel," Diggs said. "We fared luckily this past storm, and we'd like to again."


The wet season can definitely have negative impacts, however the distinctive humidity followed by monsoonal rains and storms is a unique time for all of us residents of the Top End.
A thunderstorm tore through Darwin recently, and amazingly 12,000 lightning strikes were detected within a 50km radius of Darwin’s city centre. Being a short storm – that works out to be about two strikes a second – crazy stuff!
With thundery showers becoming commonplace over the Top End, it’s a sign that the pre-monsoon build-up is well and truly upon us. Impressive rainfalls have been recorded, with the same storm as mentioned before producing 59mm in some locations – 45mm of which fell within half an hour!
Compare this to the November average rainfall in Canberra, of just 65mm. Quite amazing when you think about it.
It will be an interesting wet season with the strong El Nino impact on the tropical Pacific Ocean. This is likely to persist into early 2016. El Nino’s influence on rainfall in Australia is quite variable, on average El Nino seasons often bring lower than average rainfall and also a later start to the wet season. If recent weather is anything to go by though, who knows what is in store for us!
One thing that we can be sure of is how important it is to manage the massive increase in rainfall associated with the Wet Season. It is important that businesses ensure they have the appropriate water pumps and relevant equipment to manage the massive increase in water flow. Likewise, individuals should have water management plans prepared and ready to implement in the case of enormous storms.
Have you considered the purchase of a water tank? A great way to provide you and your family with fresh and high quality water, whilst at the same time doing your bit for the environment.
Water is our passion, so if you need any help with the management of increased water flow during the wet season then contact us today.

I believe in climate change, & that the accelerated change is caused by humans. The change isn't indicated by any single weather event, not even this three day blast of heat or last winter's blizzards, but by an increasing frequency of extreme weather hot & cold, wet & dry. I don't think we're going to do much about it. Most Americans accept some degree of human-caused climate change, but we'll always opt for jobs, cheaper energy, short term benefits. Opposition to climate change science does not come mostly from the scientific community. It comes from the business community, corporations, in a weird alliance with conservative Christians. They succeeded in making Al Gore an object of ridicule. But not making him president was one of the greatest mistakes this nation has ever made as we drift ever closer to a total plutocracy.


We know that we need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 45% by 2030, and our choices now will determine how we will meet those goals. We also know that transportation and electricity generation from fossil fuels are the two biggest sources of emissions in Illinois. What climate benefits will CEJA bring to Illinois?
|With CEJA, we reach 46% renewables by 2030, while we are currently at 8%. With a 38% increase in renewables, if we’re reducing electricity emissions from fossil fuels by that much, even with the emissions from new solar added back in, we’re talking about an annual reduction of around 22 million metric tons of CO2, or about the same amount of CO2 sequestered by 29 million acres of forest per year.
|Transportation is the biggest source of emissions in Illinois. Helping get EV’s on the road reduces emissions and lowers cost of operation for owners.
|Electrical grids that include storage reduce emissions by significantly reducing energy loss, studies show.
|When utilities invest in energy efficiency programs, costs are reduced and less energy is used, so emissions are lower.
CEJA creates the clean energy future in Illinois with these new and expanded programs:
|Renewable Energy Development
|Expand Illinois Solar for All; New build targets of 5GWh/year for wind and solar; Increases RPS budget; Reopening of Adjustable Block Program; Equity points system; Expands brownfield solar; Clarifies net-metering policy
|100% Carbon-Free Power by 2030
|Directs IL EPA to establish annual declining greenhouse gas pollution caps; Plant-specific caps; Environmental justice analysis; Provisions for stakeholder processes; strategic plans with DCEO; reliability requirements
|EV Access for All; Beneficial Electrification program for public/mass transit; Supports building of EV infrastructure
|Myth: Clean energy really isn’t that clean.
Mythbuster: Coal electricity causes 25 times more GHG emissions than the same amount of electricity from solar. Read more.
|Myth: There’s nothing we can do about climate change.


Wildfires in Canada have been causing widespread damage and posing risks to air quality, not only in the country but also in neighboring regions. The smoke from Canadian wildfires could impact your travel plans across the United States for months to come. The smoke can lead to poor visibility, respiratory difficulties, and changes in local air quality conditions. Understanding the risks and implications is essential for those planning to travel to or through the affected areas.
The smoke from Canadian wildfires has been known to travel long distances, reaching as far as the American Midwest and even Europe, impacting millions of people in its path. Airborne particles, such as PM2.5, can cause short-term health effects like irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, as well as coughing and sneezing. These particles can also exacerbate existing health conditions like asthma and heart disease.
Travelers must stay informed about the latest local air quality advisories and wildfire updates. Being prepared and adaptable may help minimize the impact of the smoke on health and travel plans. It is crucial to assess the situation in the destination and transit areas before embarking on a journey during wildfire season, ensuring a safer and more enjoyable experience.
Impact on Air Quality and Health
The smoke from Canadian wildfires has a significant impact on air quality and health in affected areas, especially for travelers who may be unprepared for such conditions. The pollutants from the fires can increase particulate matter in the air, causing a variety of health issues and worsening existing respiratory conditions in sensitive individuals. This has led to increased air quality alerts and warnings in many US regions, where the smoke has caused a higher concentration of fine particles in the air.
Air Quality Alerts
The smoke from Canadian wildfires can trigger air quality alerts in affected areas. Health agencies issue these alerts when the air pollution levels are hazardous to public health, particularly for those with pre-existing respiratory issues, pregnant individuals, elderly, and children. The alerts aim to inform the public and travelers so that they can take necessary precautions, such as staying indoors or using air purifying equipment.
Authorities often use the Air Quality Index (AQI) to gauge the severity of air pollution and guide the issuance of air quality alerts. The index takes into account several factors, including the concentration and type of pollutants in the air. When the AQI reaches unsatisfactory levels, air quality warnings may be further supplemented by instructing people to limit outdoor activities or to wear proper respiratory protection, such as N95 masks.
Air Quality Indexes
The Air Quality Index (AQI) is a globally recognized numerical scale that measures air pollution levels and potential health risks associated with them. The scale ranges from 0 to 500, with higher values indicating more hazardous air quality. Categories of concern in relation to the AQI include:
Good (0-50): Minimal risk to public health
Moderate (51-100): Acceptable air quality, but certain individuals with higher sensitivity may experience health effects
Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (101-150): At-risk individuals may experience health impacts, while the general public is unlikely to be affected
Unhealthy (151-200): General public may experience health effects, while sensitive groups may experience more serious effects
Very Unhealthy (201-300): More significant health impacts for all individuals, with emergency conditions possible
Hazardous (301-500): Major public health risk, with serious health effects expected for all individuals
During Canadian wildfire events, smoke has been known to reach as far as Europe. However, the health risks from this smoke are generally lower in Europe, as the smoke often remains at a higher altitude, causing less direct exposure to the affected population.
Traveling Through Smoke-Affected Regions
Airports and Flights Impacted
Smoke from Canadian wildfires has the potential to disrupt air travel across North America and even parts of Europe. Major cities like New York, Washington, Detroit, Chicago, and Cleveland have experienced haze and reduced air quality due to smoke traveling south from eastern Canadian provinces. This can cause flight delays and cancellations as airlines prioritize safety.
Road Travel Considerations
For those planning road trips in areas affected by wildfire smoke, such as Michigan, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Ontario, and Quebec, it is essential to check local air quality and visibility conditions before setting out. Smoke can pose risks to driving, including obscured visibility and health impacts, especially for sensitive individuals like children, the elderly, and those with pre-existing respiratory conditions.
Impacts to Outdoor Activities
The smoke from Canadian wildfires has not only affected air travel and road conditions but also impacted outdoor events and activities across the Great Lakes and Mid-Atlantic regions. Sporting events, concerts, and other outdoor gatherings may be disrupted, postponed, or canceled due to poor air quality and visibility concerns. Event organizers and attendees should monitor local air quality reports and stay informed about any potential changes to scheduled activities.
Health Effects and Precautions
Individuals Most at Risk from Smoke
Wildfire smoke can impact travelers differently, but certain groups of people are more susceptible to its impacts. Those most at risk include individuals with respiratory illnesses such as asthma, individuals with heart disease, and older adults. Additionally, children and pregnant women may also be more vulnerable to the adverse effects of wildfire smoke due to their developing respiratory systems and increased oxygen demands, respectively.
Symptoms of Wildfire Smoke and Remedies
The fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) in wildfire smoke can lead to a range of health effects, even for healthy individuals. Short-term effects may consist of irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, as well as coughing, sneezing, and shortness of breath. Long-term exposure to wildfire smoke can exacerbate existing health conditions like asthma and heart disease.
Travelers should keep an eye on air quality reports from sources like the National Weather Service and Environmental Protection Agency. When air quality is poor, it is crucial to minimize exposure to the smoke. Staying indoors, closing windows, and using air purifiers with HEPA filters can help keep the indoor environment clear. It is also advised to avoid strenuous activities, which can increase the risk of inhaling the fine particles in smoke.
For immediate relief from irritation in the nose and throat, saline nasal sprays and throat lozenges can be used to soothe and hydrate affected areas. Over-the-counter antihistamines and decongestants might also be helpful for those experiencing allergic reactions or congestion from wildfire smoke exposure.
Protecting Your Eyes from Smoke
Smoke can cause eye irritation and discomfort. Using artificial tears or over-the-counter lubricating eye drops can help alleviate dryness and irritation. It is also a good idea to wear protective eyewear when venturing outdoors during smoky conditions, as well as to avoid rubbing your eyes, as this can worsen irritation.
As wildfire smoke from Canadian provinces continues to affect areas like New York City and other regions, understanding these health effects and precautions can go a long way in protecting the well-being of travelers and residents alike.
Wildfire Management and Contributing Factors
Canadian wildfires have become an increasingly major concern for travelers due to the impact on air quality and safety. Firefighters utilize various strategies to control and extinguish these blazes, such as creating firebreaks, utilizing aircraft to drop water and fire retardant, and employing ground crews to battle the flames directly. However, the intensity and scale of these fires often challenge firefighting efforts, which underscores the importance of adequate resources and international cooperation in combating these wildfires1.
Climate Change and Its Role in Canadian Fires
A significant factor contributing to the increase in Canadian wildfires is climate change. The warming global climate has led to hotter and drier conditions, creating an environment conducive to wildfires2. Moreover, these conditions also exacerbate fires once they have started, making them more difficult to control. The resulting heavy smoke and particulate matter from these fires not only pose significant health risks3 but also impact air quality across the Northeast, affecting millions of people, including travelers4.
Wildfire Smoke’s Influence on Weather Patterns
Smoke particles from the blazes can alter the atmosphere, leading to dry and windy conditions5. When large amounts of particulate matter are present in the upper levels of the atmosphere, they can cause temperature changes by blocking or scattering sunlight, resulting in cooler days and warmer nights6. Keep this impact of wildfires in mind as you pack for your next trip.
Moreover, particle pollution from wildfires can affect atmospheric conditions far across the globe. For example, communities in the UK have experienced the effects of smoke from Canada wildfires, as it travels across the ocean5. This long-range transportation of smoke particles can alter weather patterns in distant regions such as the Ohio Valley and Appalachian Mountains8.
Scientists studying the phenomenon have observed that smoke from wildfires can influence sunrises and sunsets, making them more vibrant due to the way particulate matter scatters sunlight. Such aesthetic changes, however, come at the cost of potential air quality issues for sensitive groups, such as those with respiratory conditions9.
Before you travel it’s crucial you understand the effects of smoke from Canadian wildfires on the environment, as it can impact visibility and alter weather patterns, potentially leading to challenges during their journey and major health concerns for many.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the air quality affected near travel destinations?
The air quality near travel destinations may be affected by smoke from Canadian wildfires. In some cases, the pollution has been seen as far away as Europe. Depending on the wind conditions and proximity to the fire, smoke concentrations can vary significantly.
What precautions should travelers take due to the smoke from Canadian wildfires?
Travelers should stay informed about air quality in their destination and be prepared to take necessary precautions. This may include staying indoors during periods of poor air quality, using air purifiers, wearing masks, and carrying medications for respiratory issues, if needed. Practical tips include taking Ubers or other transportation to avoid long walks across town and avoiding outdoor seating at restaurants to avoid prolonged exposure. It’s essential to follow local authorities’ recommendations and obey any restrictions or advisories.
Are there any travel advisories for the affected regions?
Travel advisories may be issued for affected regions due to the wildfires. It is essential to check official government or embassy websites for the most up-to-date information about potential travel restrictions or safety concerns. Closely monitoring the situation can help travelers avoid disruptions to their plans and ensure their safety.
How can one stay updated on the Canadian wildfire situation?
