Bill McKibben is a decades-long veteran of climate advocacy, whose grassroots activism has enormously impacted environmental politics.
Almost 10 years ago, McKibben dubbed Canada’s tar sands projects “carbon bombs” which devastate the environment. The federal Liberals and Alberta Conservatives have both doubled down detonating those bombs, sinking fortunes into the development of new oil pipelines even as President Joe Biden has signalled a disinterest in building new fossil fuel infrastructure. As Texas freezes over with lethal, extreme winter weather, McKibben's messages resonate stronger than ever.
Is it too late for Canada to get on the right path?
Join McKibben as he works through these dilemmas with host Linda Solomon Wood in a public Conversations event
Presented by the Canadian Centre for Journalism, sponsored by Canada's National Observer.
