Always a good listen, however:
In the episode re CDR, David somewhat flippantly compared Danielle Smith’s review and potential claim on the CPP with Alberta’s “responsibility” for GHG emissions. To put the two issues on a time equivalent basis, one has to compare cumulative emissions since 1965 with the (arguably tenuous) CPP claim. Current emissions don’t do it. On a cumulative basis since 1965, Alberta has emitted a way smaller proportion of the country’s GHG’s than the 53% claim on CPP. I cou... more

Canada2 years ago - Nuanced and honest without diminishing the severity of the climate crisis
To the credit of the co-hosts and their expert guests, I rarely come away from an episode feeling entirely validated in my pre-conceived notions about various topics. Complex issues require nuanced discussions and often lead to understandings that leave us somewhat frustrated but richer for having gone on the intellectual journey. That EvC is able to deliver all of this without diminishing the importance and severity of the climate and energy challenges we face is rather remarkable. Keep up the ... more
