Here's an episode of my podcast View 902 that might be of interest to some, as it deals with the subject of using the law as a tool to achieve environmental justice.

View 902 Podcast - Episode 3: Silver Donald Cameron

Here's the synopsis:

In this episode of the View 902 podcast Paul Kimball is joined by author, journalist and activist Silver Donald Cameron to talk about his most recent book, Warrior Lawyers – From Manilla to Manhattan: lawyers for the earth, which contains a series of interviews that Don conducted with people around the world who have used the law as a tool to achieve environmental justice. They discuss the concept of natural law, and our duty of care as human beings to the planet and to the creatures with which we share it, and talk about a couple of examples from the book of lawyers and others who have engaged in citizen activism and used the law to combat corporate wrongdoing and change government policy on the environment. Paul ends with a song he wrote way back in 1991 and recorded, but never released, with his band Julia’s Rain in 1995. Called “Shadows Grow”, it is sadly even more relevant today than ever. “Our pockets kill the fields” is still true, but thankfully folks like Silver Donald Cameron and the men and women he interviews in Warrior Lawyers are making a real and vital difference.

One of Canada’s most versatile and experienced professional authors, Silver Donald Cameron is currently host and executive producer of The Green Interview, an environmental website devoted to in-depth conversations with the activists who are leading the way to a green and sustainable future. His literary work includes plays, films, radio and TV scripts, an extensive body of corporate and governmental writing, hundreds of magazine articles, and 17 books, including two novels. He was Dean of the School of Community Studies at Cape Breton University and has taught at Dalhousie University, the University of British Columbia and the University of New Brunswick. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of London, and in 2012 received both the Order of Canada and the Order of Nova Scotia.
 
Hopefully we have heard the last of the crap Tyger has regurgitated here on climate change. Someone tell him it was a valiant effort but he/she failed miserably. The global climate will continue to change in spite of massive transfers of wealth and taxation.

The planet is getting greener although you will hear very little about it.

Let's look at it this way. People like you get wacky when there's snowfall, or snowballs to bring into the halls of Congress, not realizing that global warming means extreme weather. That means snowstorms and other severe weather may be more intense as a result. You get that?
 
CARBON CAPTURE
Two Indian engineers have solved one of the biggest hurdles in the fight to make lower carbon-emissions targets a reality - January 08, 2017
LINK: Engineers have solved one of the biggest hurdles in making lower carbon-emissions targets a reality
TEXT Excerpted: "The proportion of renewable sources in the world’s energy supply is increasing rapidly, but not fast enough to keep global temperatures from rising 2°C above the pre-industrial average, which is when climate change reaches a critical point of no return. This is why both the United Nations and the International Panel on Climate Change say we need a technology that allows us to keep burning fossil fuels—even as we wean ourselves off them—without releasing all of the carbon dioxide (CO2) produced.

"For a long time, such technologies have focused on carbon capture and storage (CCS), where carbon emissions from, say, a coal power plant are collected and injected deep underground at great cost. In recent years, the focus has shifted in part to carbon capture and utilisation (CCU), where the emissions are turned into useful products.

"Carbon Clean Solutions built a plant in Tuticorin in southern India that captures carbon dioxide from its coal-fired boiler and converts it into soda ash (a chemical cousin of the baking soda you buy in a grocery store). And, in what Sharma says is a world’s first, the commercial-scale plant set to capture 60,000 tons of CO2 annually does it so cheaply that it did not need any government subsidies."​

I mock you and your "side" when I mention weather and climate together because that's what your side does all the time. There has been no rise in extreme weather so get over it.

If you want fewer GHG emissions just hold your breath for 20 minutes. Please..it's for the planet.

Earth Sets a Temperature Record for the Third Straight Year
By JUSTIN GILLIS and JOHN SCHWARTZ JAN. 18, 2017
LINK: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/18/...t_na_20170118&nlid=54852892&ref=headline&_r=0
TEXT: "Marking another milestone for a changing planet, scientists reported on Wednesday that the Earth reached its highest temperature on record in 2016 — trouncing a record set only a year earlier, which beat one set in 2014. It is the first time in the modern era of global warming data that temperatures have blown past the previous record three years in a row.

"The findings come two days before the inauguration of an American president who has called global warming a Chinese plot and vowed to roll back his predecessor’s efforts to cut emissions of heat-trapping gases.

"The data show that politicians cannot wish the problem away. The Earth is heating up, a point long beyond serious scientific dispute, but one becoming more evident as the records keep falling. Temperatures are heading toward levels that many experts believe will pose a profound threat to both the natural world and to human civilization."​
 
Let the deniers deny. From what I've read and heard it can't be reversed any longer, anyway. Eventually something will get bad enough, a storm, local weather, etc… when it will be undeniable, but the way global climate change works it may take decades for such to occur. Most of the deniers will be dead by that time, happily believing they'd exposed or resisted the biggest hoax of all mankind as they draw their last breath. Only their children and grandchildren will see the true effects.
