We end with the relationship between integrity and pragmatism in the modern environmental movement, beginning with a discussion about a new fossil discovery with evolutionary biologist Maydianne Andrade and film director Andrew Gregg, moving into a look at the precautionary blackouts in California and the Canadian federal leaders’ debate.

We outline and discuss the climate plans of Canada’s four major parties, as well as Toronto’s climate emergency victory, CAPP’s data collection intentions and the 100 climate debates that recently took place across the country. Lauren Latour is in-studio this week along with Fatima Syed and Emma McIntosh of the National Observer.

We document sounds, voices, concerns and victories from various climate actions and events, September 23-27.

The global climate strike looms, old naysayers naysay and paranoid politicians cling to conspiracy rhetoric. This is the late-game beginning of our transformation.
