Already battered, Alberta braces for the energy transition — can it also embrace it? | CBC News: In June, guerilla
artists armed with stencils and spray paint appended a single word to
the slogan on massive red signs welcoming drivers to Calgary.

In matching lettering below “Be Part of the Energy,” they added “Transition.”

You
might call these surreptitious edits or acts of vandalism. Either
way, they didn’t last long. The stencilled words were painted over
within days but not before they sparked a new round of discussion about a
topic that was once almost taboo in this city.

330 elephants in Botswana may have died from toxic algae: GABORONE, BOTSWANA –
The sudden deaths of some 330 elephants in northwestern Botswana
earlier this year may have occurred because they drank water
contaminated by toxic blue-green algae, the government announced Monday.

The elephants in the Seronga area died from a neurological disorder 

that appears to have been caused by drinking water tainted by “a toxic
bloom of cyanobacterium in seasonal pans (water sources) in the region,”
said Cyril Taolo, acting Director of the Department of Wildlife and
National Parks.

The unexplained deaths ceased after the water pans dried up, said Taolo, in a press conference in Gaborone, the capital.
