I wanted to share a formative moment that occurred for me back in 2018 when I received an email response from Dr. Michael Bender regarding a question I asked him about his Vostok ice core study.

SOCIAL MEDIA:

One of the reasons why some people don’t believe that climate change poses an existential threat to civilization is invariably because many of us quite reasonably assume that society would not knowingly destroy itself. Sadly, that just isn't the case. Let's see why.

SOCIAL MEDIA:

I know… I know. I'm just a retired school teacher... so who am I to question the perspectives of highly qualified scientists who also happen to be climate deniers? Let's find out.

That’s right… I used to be a card-carrying member of the Conservative Party. However, I had to withdraw my support for the Conservative Party... and now I’m going to tell you why.

In this episode of Dubunk the Debunkers ( originally published as a video at: https://youtu.be/7TVoyh_JJak ) Uncle Gomer takes issue with Rosh Salgado D'Arcy's Debunking of Dr. William Happer's theory of CO2 saturation.

If you live in Canada, and you’ve looked at your bank account recently, you’ll likely see that, at some point on January 15th, you received your quarterly Climate Action Incentive Payment, or what is colloquially referred to as the carbon tax rebate. Will the rebates be enough to cover what most Canadian families spend on carbon tax each year? That's the question I'll be examining in this episode of Green Neighbour.

There is no doubt that climate change is ramping up. We’re seeing more dramatic impacts of global warming every day, all around the world, but, do Canadians need to take any responsibility for all of this?

After all, the population of Canada is quite small compared to many other countries. In fact, Canada is only responsible for about 2% of the world’s total greenhouse gas emissions, so do Canadians get a free pass on our responsibility to take swift and decisive action on climate change?

This is the question that we’ll be exploring today on Green Neighbour.

After hearing about Tesla’s recent worldwide price cuts, I thought I would share this news and discuss why this is such an important development with respect to sustainable transportation and, indeed, climate change. In addition, in the Analytical Tools and Resources segment, we look at a tool that can quickly and easily help you distinguish fact from disinformation. Finally, in the Taking Action segment, we look at a number of different ways anyone can reduce their personal transportation emissions.
