Next week, the government will try to push through the modest 43% emissions reduction pledge it took to the election. Will it get through the senate? Should it get through? Greens leader Adam Bandt (and others) will doubtless try to toughen it, and perhaps even block it. But as the ACF's Climate and Energy Program Director Gavan McFadzean tells us, there are plenty of good reasons to start low, then aim high. Also this week: Yikes! The collapsing mountain glacier that caused an avalanche! And blimey! It's an unprecedented British heatwave! What does it all mean? Ant & Elfy are back together on The Canary this week to dissect all this and plenty more!
