Updates
With hopes we will see the end of this super El Niño in the spring of 2027, some can last 12–18 months. The last super El Niño was back in 2015–2016, which lasted around 14 months. Super El Niños are caused by warmer ocean temperature fluctuations that change weather patterns globally. While some areas can see mild weather, while others can see more frequent storms such as flooding, droughts, tornadoes, freezing rain, etc. It is a wise idea to keep a close eye on your local forecasts, as conditions can change drastically.
Toledo Ohio chemical incident
On October 20, 2026, Toledo, Ohio, experienced a tank rupture involving glycidyl methacrylate, a possible carcinogen known to be corrosive. Breathing it causes irritation to the airways and other symptoms, such as dizziness or nausea. To prevent an explosion, the chemical was intentionally vented, and emergency evacuations were put into place.Unfortunately, several people required medical attention. Here again, we have another chemical disaster that will cost those in the area and the surrounding communities.
Cuts to the Endangered Species Act
In July 2026, the Endangered Species Act was cut. Besides physically injuring or killing these animals, the law no longer covers protecting endangered species' habitats. With claims that restrictions placed too many limits on industry and human development, it is no longer protected against disturbing or completely destroying habitats—such as cutting down trees, building dams, or clearing land with food sources. Because of these changes, there will be damning consequences and will put our wildlife at risk by disturbing and damaging the natural environment these animals depend on.
Forever chemical pesticide re-approved after being banned
The forever chemical pesticide trifludimoxazin was re-approved for use in June 2026, following a ban in 2022 due to significant risks to human health and the environment, including its impact on endangered species. The approval has raised serious public health concerns, particularly regarding cancer risks and the long-term effects associated with its classification as a "forever chemical" (PFAS). Trifludimoxazin has been cleared for use on major crops such as corn, soybeans, grains, fruits, and tree nuts.
PFAS are synthetic chemicals that never break down, earning them the nickname "forever chemicals." They persist in the environment and accumulate in our bodies over time, making cleanup nearly impossible. These persistent chemicals pose serious, long-term risks to human health, animals, and the broader environment.
I had a conversation with someone from the EPA about the topic of forever chemicals, and they mentioned finding them in unexpected places where you wouldn't necessarily think contamination could reach. The real challenge is that forever chemicals don't come from just one source—they come from many, and we come into direct contact with them in countless different ways. Humans have truly made a mess that we are finding to be far more damaging than we ever imagined.
Findings of forever chemicals are being discovered in wells and city water.
Companies are starting to be looked into for the use of forever chemicals.
Why This Matters
Be a voice for the voiceless. We need to take action before even more become endangered and extinct.
Reasons for the loss of wildlife:
Habitat loss due to human activity
Pollution and climate change
Illegal hunting and poaching

We depend heavily on our pollinators, which have a big impact on our food supply. Unfortunately, we have seen a decline, and with cuts to the Endangered Species Act, our pollinators will be even more vulnerable.

All too often, mental health is disregarded in a society that expects everyone to be emotionless soldiers.
We never truly know what someone is going through or where their mindset is. We have lost far too many beautiful souls to suicide and we need to continue to have resources and awareness to help those fighting battles we can't see.
My heart goes out to everyone who has lost their homes and loved ones in one of the devastating fires over the years. Unfortunately, there are predictions of more fires reaching cities, as we have seen in places like Spokane, Washington, and Maui, Hawaii. We can’t deny that fires have been becoming more fierce over the years, and knowing there is a higher chance of uncertainty, we can be prepared.
