New installation at the Agha Khan Museum ... plus wildfire pollution haze.

At a symposium I attended in the 1990s, Louise Comeau, then with the Pembina Institute, made a stirring presentation about the useless steps governments of the day were taking to address climate change.

She directed most of her scorn at the idea that planting trees (a popular measure at the time) would solve the problem. 

"The models have already told us what's going to happen to forests," she said. "Anything you plant now is just going to burn."

Thirty years ago, that made quite an impression on me. And perhaps now others will also get it.

Thanks for reading.

We're having much of the house painted. Other 
rooms are storing our stuff, like a live hidden
object puzzle. Can you find the sloth, the 
Hamilton programme, the photographer?
