ENCORE: They spoke out against fossil fuels. Then came the backlash.

from What On Earth

From “packs of wolves” spreading disinformation online, to death threats, these women have paid a high cost for their climate advocacy work. As a family physician, Dr. Melissa Lem knew she could not stay silent on the dangers of climate change once she started to learn more. Climate advocate Tzeporah Berman waded into Alberta politics and got more than she bargained for. When Judy Wilson, former chief of the Neskonlith Indian Band, spoke out about a pipeline expansion, she says she started noticing strange things. We're re-sharing this documentary by producer Molly Segal, which recently won an international journalism award from Covering Climate Now.
