Summary

Protest is nothing new to France, but over the past month, Paris and some other cities in the country have seen escalating protests, sparked by an eco-tax on fuel due to come into effect in January. Anti-carbon pricing pundits have been quick to point to Paris as a reason why carbon taxes do not work. We think differently, so this week we once again sat down with our Executive Director Michael Green to chat about the significance of the protests in France for climate policy. Hosted on Acast.

If Words Could Talk Park Leacock We interview people cooler than us to give you down-to-earth perspectives on out-of-this-world ideas. Should we bring back extinct species? Emerson This podcast is about wheither we should or shouldnt bring back extinct animals. yes and no. Yes because the term "species does not just conclued animals, but plants! The reason why we should bring back extinct plants is becuase they can help with the biggest problem we are facing on earth right now, global warming. According to livescience.com In warmer temperatures, it was revealed, plants emit more of the gases that stick to aerosol particles. These can lead to cloud formation and, as a result of cloud cover, cooler temperatures. Other natural phenomenon may help to cool the planet!
