Burn Baby Burn' Is Not A Climate Solution

Coming off the hottest year and worst wildfire season in recorded history you might think Canada as a whole would have finally learned our lesson and gone all in on climate solutions but you'd be wrong as the prime political discussion in Canada these days are about getting rid of our carbon tax with precious little about what climate solutions we'd like in their place. This sentiment is strongest in Alberta where our once mighty clean energy industry was first hobbled by a 6 month moratorium then followed by far reaching anti-renewable policy in place for the foreseeable future. To help us break down all this today we have Martin Olszynski, Associate Professor at the University Of Calgary, Faculty of Law.*****Sources used in this episode: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mpV-cwGOoXW8HC1OWf_nN1DUIWE_9g5IJrm0Dxsw_3E/Transcript of the episode: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VsXEfX_Q3fby2kynppIVyD29lCHs8AXzycWjxuvbJ98/*****If you appreciate what we're doing here at the Climate Lens one way you could help out is become a member of our Patreon for just 5 bucks a month at https://www.patreon.com/TheClimateLens or make a one time donation via the Calgary Climate Hub website at https://www.canadahelps.org/en/dn/92219*****CALLS TO ACTION!Speak at City Hall Training - April 18th: https://www.calgaryclimatehub.ca/rezoning_speak_city_hall_train_apr24*****Martin Olszynski: https://twitter.com/molszyns****Calgary Climate HubWebsite: https://www.calgaryclimatehub.caTwitter: https://twitter.com/ClimateHubYYCInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/calgaryclimatehub/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/calgaryclimatehub/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzh9NWUmvSzpOsa7ReTs83QBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/climatehubyyc.bsky.socialMastodon: https://campaign.openworlds.info/@ClimateHubYYCVolunteer! https://www.calgaryclimatehub.ca/volunteerBecome a Member! https://www.calgaryclimatehub.ca/membershipDonate! https://www.calgaryclimatehub.ca/donateSupport us on Patreon!
