What's Hot in Climate Change - Summer 2026

Estimated reading time: 6 minutes

When I was a kid, summer used to mean fun at the beach and sultry evenings of fireflies and starry skies. Now it also means record-breaking wildfires, busted state budgets, and a growing list of medical problems caused by forest fire smoke.

For The Climate Advisor, that's not background noise — it's the signal — the lived context for anyone trying to keep their family, business, and community functioning in a hotter, smokier world. This post walks through three recent wildfire stories.

1. Fire Season Starts Early - Back again, bigger than ever.

I accidentally found an interesting article searching for 2026 fire season forecasts. The article is by Western Weather Group, who are a niche weather‑intelligence outfit that, according to their site… “…provides specialized weather forecasting for utilities, grid operators, and industries operating in high-risk weather environments.”

Drawing on their fire models, WWG sees clear signals for a rough 2026 U.S. fire season. Millions of acres have already burned and fire activity is well above the 10‑year average for this time of year. Predictions are lighting up big swaths of the West, the High Plains, and parts of the South for above‑normal fire risk through the summer. Thanks to stubborn drought, thin snowpack, and a hot, fast spring that dried out grasses and forests ahead of schedule—the stage is set for bigger, harder‑to‑fight fires and long‑distance health impacts from smoke.

The link between forest fires, deepening drought, and deteriorating air quality makes that case even more urgent—and the long-term drying across the American West shows no sign of slowing down.

2. Wildfires Are Torching State Budgets

The always excellent High Country News picks up the story at the statehouse. States like Oregon are seeing wildfire costs blow past historical budgets, with firefighting and recovery routinely running hundreds of millions of dollars over budget. When the smoke clears, legislatures are calling emergency sessions, raiding rainy-day funds, and pitting fire bills against everything from schools to healthcare.

What's striking is how many states still rely on fragile funding sources—general funds, one-off fees, short-term federal help—to cover a problem that is clearly here to stay. The article highlights some emerging fixes, including dedicated wildfire accounts and targeted revenue streams to fund prevention and resilience instead of just suppression.

What's also striking is that The Climate Advisor included this same topic 10 years ago in What's Hot in Climate Change - August 2016!

3. Different Strokes for Smokey Folks

A great Eos article zooms past flames and balance sheets into the human body. They reviewed recent research that estimates wildfire smoke is associated with roughly 17,000 strokes per year in the United States, particularly among older adults. The research shows that as smoke exposure rises, stroke risk may rise with it.

The figure above from the study tells me that it is difficult to tease out exposure to small particles from forest fire smoke, versus other small particles from other sources of pollution. The uncertainty bars for the forest fire smoke are big and overlapping with the non-forest fire particulates, so this doesn’t tell me that much about the relative risk between particle types.

HOWEVER, it does show that ANY exposure to small particles, be they forest fire smoke or other, DO increase the risk of stroke. Thus, all the elderly and infirm persons exposed to climate-worsened, forest fire smoke will suffer. That much is clear.

Even if flames never get close, forest fire smoke can travel hundreds and thousands of miles from the fire, quietly degrading the health of people with underlying heart and lung issues. That concern dovetails with what we already know about heat stress and cardiovascular strain during extreme weather events—the two hazards often arrive together and compound each other.

Ozone is another often-overlooked piece of the puzzle.  Ground-level ozone, worse on hot smoky days, has its own serious health risks. For households and businesses in smoke-prone regions, providing clean indoor air, is and will be, an essential part of summer planning.

What It All Adds Up To—and What's Next

Put together, these stories show a coherent pattern: fire seasons that start earlier, burn longer, and hit harder—first in forests and state budgets, then in hospitals and people’s long-term health. For The Climate Advisor audience, the message is not "panic," but "plan" — treat wildfire and smoke as recurring features of the summer landscape and build it into decisions about housing, business continuity, health, and community. Start with the basics: defensible space, clean-air strategies, go-bags, and evacuation plans, which are the foundation of wildfire preparedness.

The Climate Advisor will soon be updating its definitive "Surviving Wildfires" guide—covering how to adapt and stay safe during forest fires — so keep an eye out for that refreshed post coming soon!

Collins is gone.

Namaygoosisagagun First Nation/Collins has burned to the ground. The entire community is nothing but ashes after being quickly consumed by wildfires. They did not have any support from emergency services, and no one offered aid. The community saved themselves by escaping into boats because no one came.

Mishkeegogamang and Cat Lake have lost power. Families are ending up in shelters with nothing. Armstrong, Lac La Croix, Whitesand, Gull Bay, Lac des Mille Lacs are currently in the fires path and all members are being evacuated.

All this loss, all this devastation, and it was entirely preventable.

After steadily underfunding wildland firefighting and purposefully excluding Indigenous wildland firefighters and Indigenous wildfire organizations from wildfire operations, firefighter training, decisionmaking, and resource exchanges, in 2025, Doug Ford slashed the forest firefighting budget.

It's hard to ignore his decision to cut funding and leave us out of adequate fire training (even though we've lived with forest fires for thousands of years—far longer than settlers have been in Canada—and made sure fires like the ones we're all seeing today were prevented through kinisitotēn) when, despite making up less than 5% of the population, we account for 42% percent of all wildfire evacuations in Canada.

And when we are successfully evacuated, we face discrimination and racism—like Kashechewan—because it's always been easier to blame us than it is to blame the true culprit: denialism, corportate greed, and colonization.

The people of Collins and every other impacted community deserve better.

Right now, the AFN is currently accepting donations to help Collins First Nation. If you're able to, please consider donating.

ONWA (Ontario Native Women's Association) is another great place to donate to. They have outreach vans going to motels and inns and offering food, water, resources, and cultural support to those impacted by the wildfires.

Other places to consider donating to are Mikinakoos Emergency Fund, Red Cross, True North Aid, Indigenous Climate Action. You can also send donations directly to Whitesand First Nation via e-transfer ([email protected]) and they request that you add your full name in the e-transfer comment section to receive a tax receipt.

*Before sending money, verify that the appeal appears on an official First Nation, Tribal Council or registered charity channel.

If you can't offer financial support, please consider donating items of need. Moontime Connections is currently accepting drop-off donations. If you live in the Thunder Bay area, Namaygoosisagagun Health Office is also taking in donations! They can also bemailed to Superior Inn Hotel & Conference Centre at 555 West Arthur Street, Thunder Bay, ON, P7E 5P8.

items needed are: food, diapers, medical masks, men’s and women’s joggers (all sizes), children’s clothing (newborn to size 14), children’s shoes, summer clothing, men’s clothing, toiletries (lotion, Vaseline, toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, conditioner, soap, deodorant, etc.), strollers, adult depends-all sizes, dog & cat food

Ok, it's taken me SIX YEARS to make this. But I did it! It's done! Please watch it!

(No AI used fuck AI)

It's my first animation project, which is why it took so long. I had to learn to animate to make it. It's only a bit over 2 minutes, but I made it the best I possibly could. Please please please watch it. I am so proud of it.

It's a trailer for my first novel- a late YA scifi/superhero book.

Is it absurd to make a fully animated book "trailer" for a book that's been out for 6 years, with voice acting and commissioned music (by the fantastic @plottwiststudios) ? I mean yes. Of course. I'm not even doing this for real marketing purposes because this is a ridiculous thing to do. I don't even really think it'll sell books but the process of making it made me really really happy.

I love my fictional disaster queers, and I love my book, and when I was a kid I thought I'd grow up to be an animator. I've always loved animation, and I really, really enjoyed making something animated myself. I'm really proud of how it turned out.

Please watch it. Please share it.

If it does make you actually want to read the story, you can get it as an ebook, paperback, or audiobook. (the ebook is currently free)

I start my next animation project- a fake anime opening credits for book 3 in this series, starting next month.

A compilation of stuff I know about drawing Asian faces and Asian culture! I feel like many “How-To-Draw” tutorials often default to European faces and are not really helpful when drawing people of other races. So I thought I’d put this together in case anyone is interested! Feel free to share this guide and shoot me questions if you have any! I’m by no means an expert, I just know a few things from drawing experience and from my own cultural background.

Tutorial #7: Character Turnaround Sheet

A turnaround model sheet of your character can be a very useful tool. Animators and comic artists use turnaround model sheets to help them stay on-model as they draw characters from different angles and in varying poses. You can also use your turnaround sheet as a reference to create a maquette of your character.

Materials

pencil

paper

ruler

tracing paper (optional)

scanner/printer (optional)

Photoshop (optional)

Step 1

Once you’ve chosen a character you want to use, draw them in a front, three-quarter and side/profile view. You should choose a pose that conveys your character’s personality. For example, if your character is shy, you could draw them slightly hunched over, with their knees bent and pigeon-toed, as if they’re trying to hide themselves from the outside world.

I prefer to use relatively simple poses that will allow me to see the character’s body from all angles. You’re free to draw them in as dynamic a pose as you want. Just remember that you’ll be drawing this pose from various angles!

I started by loosely drawing the front, three-quarter and side/profile view free hand.

Tom Bancroft, author of Creating Characters With Personality, suggests you draw these three poses free hand, without restricting them to fit within a certain height. You can make adjustments later, to make your lineup cohesive. Avoiding restrictions at this point will allow you to experiment freely to find the strongest poses to use.

However, for the sake of cohesion, I suggest you try to keep the proportions relatively close to each other. For example, try to keep the eyes, nose, and mouth at around the same height within the face in each pose, the hands and clothes at about the same length, the hair within the same size, etc.  

Step 2

Tighten your sketches a little bit more, taking into consideration the structure of your character and their geometric build up. This will help you maintain the shapes cohesive as they turn in space. (i.e. oval head, cylindrical legs and arms, cone torso, etc.)

I focused on strengthening the structure of the character and tried to keep it cohesive throughout by basing my second round of sketches on geometric structures (you can omit the character’s arm in profile view to allow a better view of the torso).

I used tracing paper over my original sketches to define the geometric buildup. I then tightened my sketches basing the form on the geometric structures I defined. Note that at this point I added more detail to the outline and structure of the face in particular.

It’s important to keep human anatomy in mind when you begin to define your character’s silhouette in three-quarter and profile view. You might want to look up references as you work, use a mirror or ask a friend to pose for you.

Keep in mind that foreheads, noses and chins often protrude noticeably, as well as the back of the head. These are key in creating an appealing and believable head shape. Eyes rest within eye sockets, which will make them much less visible in profile view. Try to visualize your character’s form in three dimensional space as you draw. Think of the volume of the shapes and how they would look from a particular angle.

Flat shapes are boring and do little to create the illusion of volume in a drawing. Take care to create variation within your character’s silhouette. Even if your character is skinny, their body will have mass and volume. Use this opportunity to really try to understand the way your design would work in three dimensional space.

Step 3

To create the back and back three-quarter views, take your front and three-quarter views and flip them horizontally to use as a reference. I scanned mine and flipped them in Photoshop. If you don’t have access to these, you could use tracing paper or a light box or draw them free hand.

Tracing paper: trace your sketches, then turn the sheet upside down for the flipped version.

Light box: place your sketch upside down on the light box to get the flipped version.

Place tracing paper over your flipped sketches and draw the back view of each pose.

I flipped the sketches on the left and referenced them, using tracing paper, to create the back and three-quarter back views to the right.

The purpose of the flipped sketch is to provide a silhouette you can base yourself on, but don’t get stuck on trying to keep the silhouette perfect. Make adjustments as you see fit to accurately portray the pose from the angle you’re looking at it. Use geometric structures to help you visualize the shapes as you would see them from behind.

When you see the face in your flipped sketch, imagine what the back of the head would look like. Is the character wearing a hat? What kind of hairstyle do they have?

When you see the torso, picture what the back of it would look like. Is the character standing up straight or hunched over? Would the torso be pointing toward the viewer or away from him? (in my case it’s pointing away).

When you see the feet and hands, picture how much of the toes and fingers you would see from behind. Would you see them at all?

Step 4

Tighten your lineup and make necessary adjustments to make the figures align properly. Photoshop can be very useful in this instance, since it allows you to select specific areas and realign, stretch and rotate them however you want.

If you don’t have access to Photoshop, you can use a ruler to create guides for yourself.

I put all my sketches together in Photoshop, added guides, and made all necessary adjustments to the sketch before finalizing the turnaround sheet.

Cover letter is good actually

Made my own updated cover letter template! The old one was just job search 101 I learned back in my Professional Development class in SCAD. Nothing wrong with it, but it screams inexperienced due to how it was written.

What I decided to do this time was to talk more in depth about past projects I was in and include what I had learned. Also, if I had experiences relevant to the job position I'm applying to, actually relate to that by highlighting specific skills, tasks, or projects.

Like one application I have done I talked about working on Eightenate's character design, including her character sheets. While all of WOR is my personal project, it still counts as an experience towards character design and concept art, per the job application I just applied to.

This also allows me to make unique changes to my cover letter template for each future job. I have enough art in my portfolio to just...yap about them. Cover letters need to be short, though, so I wrote at least five sentences with at least two examples with this application.

So like, here's my template:

Opening paragraph to say hello and how I found out about the job, also hint at specific skills they are looking for in my portfolio.

Professional/Freelance work - must be relevant (first). Discuss in detail about what I have done, what was the inspiration, how I incorporated the inspiration into my work, how this played a role in working with a team, art director, collab, etc.

Personal Work - if relevant (second or last). Same as above but highlight the most relevant example of work that best fits the skills the job position needs. E.I if they are looking for a concept artist to create art for a 3D film, look up concept art examples including callout sheets, character turnaround references, materials etc. Take your character, do at least one example (I did a callout sheet for Eightenate, including two pose sheets), add to your portfolio, and talk about it in your resume (if you have a section for independent study or work) and your cover letter.

Close with what you have learned from your experiences. Talk about how these things will help whoever studio with what they need from the position they want to fill.

And say thank you for their time.

Anyway though, hope this will get me further than my old cover letter. Remember to spell check!

[animentality]

[penwrythe]

I saw this on Linkedin and there were a few people saying what if the interviewee gets nervous about being watched to draw and so on.

But like...there's this thing in the creative arts industry called Art Tests were illustrators designers animators and so on are tested for their skills and ability to hold up to the company/studio demands.

I understand being nervous I really do, but these tests are important to see how these artists would work before being hired for a project. My first art test I did flunk because I was spending way too much time on small details - like over 12 hours on a background, compared to the artists already working, completing the same background within 4 hours. That means I need to prepare myself better for the job and find ways to shorten my time while creating art for a studio project.

The only thing I ask for this "Can you fucking draw?" test is the freedom to draw a subject either from a reference or from imagination and have this test be separate from the Art Test for style matching, speed, following instructions, and time. Cause as I said, the Art Test is not just drawing, its about company/studio demands which may include style (anime, cartoon, semi-real, etc), speed (can you do this in a couple of hours or days), and instructions (don't just copy from the storyboard, use the character reference sheet, can you design according to our style guide).

Anyway though, I support this and I'll be happy to do this for a new art job.

Full Story/Context

Hi, I’m Theresivy (Teh-reese-ivy), I have been depressed and mentally impaired (among other things) who draws art as a multifandom self-taught fan artist, As of 2020 my mom’s tumor has turned into cancer that has only been given medical attention to in 2022 onwards. And as of then, i have indefinitely become a N,E.E.T for my mom and our finance’s sake while being there by her side. As of now she has gone through FOUR surgeries because more and more unexpected complications keep popping up. She doesnt deserve this, why couldnt it have been me,

We live with my emotionally abusive and manipulative dad (her husband) and our two fur daughters Pancake and Waffles (of which my cats and mom mean more than the world to me) while being forced to live in one of the countless apartment complexes my equally abuse maternal uncle (and his wife, my maternal A-I-L) as we have no other choice. And as such, my dad has been kissing their asses since we were forced to move here more than five years ago.

Both my uncle and my A-I-L took it upon themselves to become the defacto head of my maternal family ever since my maternal grandmother passed just because he became rich thru the means of evil entrepreneur practices. We cant do anything lest we want to get kicked and live on the streets. He is a real-life mastermind as he is always a few steps ahead of us, even making it so that his eldest daughter became his perfect pawn of being his personal lawyer. He always has connections and to them we are merely insects.

My parents and the rest of our family dont really see “artist” as anything that could get money rolling in (and day by day my failed attemptes have been proving them right), and on top of that, they see me being depressed and such as being the “freeloading couch potato”. So they keep bringing up how much of a failure I am. Weve been living in such toxic conditions that my mom has developed this sort of stockholm syndrome type relationship with my dad, and her younger brother (my uncle), and his wife (my A-I-L, her S-I-L). At first i thought i could try and save mom but shes too far gone that she strictly forbids me from fending for myself whenever either of the three try to berate me and drive me to tears and breaking down for the fifth time every week.

All i wish now is to be able to pay back at least some of the debt, for my mom and my fur daughters’ sake, and hopefully my own. I have been in a downwards spiral ever since i have been tolerating being the “odd one out” kid from school. in general, and even in the family, its been literal years and my entire life, im tired of being used and tossed to the side, im tired of being the punching bag of a cosmic joke, and im tired of my disabilities. im tired of being useless to the people i care for the most. so please. help us.

My wish now is to be able to help mom and our fur daughters move away from our domestic ab*sers. everything is an endless spiral of dead ends and im sick of it. ive been self sabotaging for years but a small part of me still has hope, please. i dont want to believe that this is where it ends for us. in this world of darkness and cruelty that spits on our faces, only my mom and our fur daughters have shown me the smallest glimpse of happiness. and even then ive failed them by becoming a barely functioning patient of depression. so, please, dont take my sunshines away.

UPDATE - JULY 04, 2024

Thank you all for the reblogs, but sadly my mom has lost her battle with cancer. She fought so hard since around 2020 even with her naturally frail body. She kept me going and was my only friend, it was her and I against the world. I even promised she would and deserved to live happy and healthily up til her 80s’ but of course that never happened and never will. She was so excited to come home, and I was just as excited, too. But, all the complications kept piling up. In terms of my art, I'll keep posting at my own pace, but my personal life is a whole different story. At the very least, I would still like to ask for reblogs, shares, donations, and commissions as we have spent more than a fortune trying to keep her alive. Shout out to my mom, who died a month and three days after her 66th birthday, thank you so much for being my only emotional support in this garbage world, and, I’m sorry what we tried and did weren’t enough. Maybe in another universe you lived to your hundreds and we are just happily telling each other all our untold stories, we’ve gone to all the places we wished to go to, and we’ve tried everything together for a bit longer. Thank you so much for being my mom, and theres no one else i would rather have as my mom. You were one of a kind, you were stubborn but soft, kindhearted and understanding, I will never forget you, thank you.

In regards of the Trump government scraping all trans inclusion in its queer information portion of its websites I have made this thing. Spread the word. Don't let them pretend we never existed.

P.S: Don't like! Reblog! <3

EDIT: Well this got a lot of attention! I got a few users asking to print or repost my art and I am unimaginably grateful to everyone's interest, especially since it's a really simple drawing I made on a whim haha! Anyone who is looking to print these out to hang or hand out or repost on another platform is free to do so, although I ask you to credit me and let people know it's from my Tumblr profile! If anyone wishes to do anything else with my art or post and wants to clarify what I consent to then they can message me privately and I'll explain! <333 all my love to my queer siblings

EDIT: I made an LGBTQIA+ version with a focus on trans and intersex folks, it's on my pinned if you prefer this version of the acronym.
