In today’s January 15, 2015 episode DeSmogCAST host Farron Cousins joins DeSmoggers Carol Linnitt, Kyla Mandel, and Mike Gaworecki to discuss Canada’s efforts to prevent a NAFTA-led investigation into the management of Alberta’s oilsands tailingsย ponds.
We also discuss a clause in the UK‘s new Infrastructure Bill that mandates efforts to โmaximize economic recovery of UK petroleumโ and what that means for the nation’s climate policy.
Lastly we discuss recent developments in the denier/skeptics debate and a recent open letter to media, calling on journalists to reserve the favourable term ‘skeptic’ for those engaged in truly scientific criticalย investigation.
