Sept 8 2021 Calling to Fairy Creek, forests protect climate, federal election overview

THE PLACID SIDE OF THE SLOCAN IN SEPTEMBER.

Linn Murray is here to tell us specifically about local candidate debates on CLIMATE. These debates are happening across the country this week… and we have them here in both the Kootenay ridings, with all the candidates.

Max Fawcett writes for the Nationalobserver.com, a great online magazine in Canada. Recently he covered the fossil fuel industry’s reaction to the federal election. I talked to him about it and how much the environment and climate are coming up in the campaign. That’s coming up in the second half of the show. Coming right up we have a clip of Avi Lewis on Hope versus Optimism. He sees them quite differently. And we have news from Fairy Creek as well, including a clip of a powerful interview on XR TV Victoria with climate scientist Dr. Peter Carter about the importance of Old growth forests to climate.
