  • Bill 20 & the Petrostate Power Grab
    May 15 2024
    Bill 20, a new policy announced by the Alberta government on Thursday April 25th 2024 at least on it's face doesn't have anything to do with climate change. But if you are an organization like the Calgary Climate Hub whose entire reason for being is to promote climate action at the municipal level, this affects you, and in consequence everybody in the province. To discuss this, we are receiving Molli Bennett of the Alberta Talks Initiative and the Alberta Environmental Network, who we already had the pleasure to invite in two other episodes about the net-zero strategy in Alberta and logging plans for West Bragg Creek. ***** Sources used in this episode: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1p0V7ja6jgTL-rhY6YezlNSQ2CS29J0Bo9bX6XAk9InI/ Transcript of the episode: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OAbcBlWzJ9JG7Kb7Z2tI_vx7-4lSMZx9fPPBn3ix_LA/ ***** 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!

  • Burn Baby Burn' Is Not A Climate Solution
    Apr 17 2024

    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.
