Planet Haliburton 2022

Is Capitalism Killing Our Climate?~December 29, 2022 (Encore Presentation)

 

Never-ending economic growth on a finite planet is unsustainable and sooner or later will put humankind on a collision course with environmental realities. However, despite clear evidence that we are undermining crucial ecological systems that support all life on earth, virtually all our economic and political leaders keep promoting policies and practices that demand more and more from a biosphere already in crisis.

Why are we/they so hooked on growth? Is it because our economic system, capitalism, has never-ending growth hard-wired into its DNA?

Join Planet Haliburton co-hosts Greg Roe and Terry Moore on August 14th at 7pm - 8pm for a conversation with Ian Angus, editor of the Climate and Capitalism website, about the relationship between capitalism, incessant growth and the climate crisis.

Passive Buildings: A Key to Reducing Our Carbon Footprint? ~ December 11, 2017

Residential, commercial, and industrial buildings are the third largest source of carbon emissions in Ontario accounting for about 37% of energy use and 20% of C02 emissions. Emissions have been going up within the sector at a time when we need to be making serious reductions.

Passive building methods are one way to achieve dramatic improvements in heating and cooling efficiency and are beginning to attract more attention. Passive building construction is happening in Haliburton County but is dwarfed by more standard and less energy efficient construction techniques.

To shed more light on the benefits as well as the costs of passive building, we’re joined on the next episode of Planet Halibuton by Jim Joseph and Graham Borgdorff, respectively the owner and the builder of a new passive home on Lake Kashagawigamog.

If you’re interested in learning what passive buildings are all about, how much they cost and how they work to reduce both energy costs and carbon footprints, you won’t want to miss this conversation.

Capitalism, Economic Growth and the Environment ~November 27, 2017

Is there an economic model that can provide good living standards for everyone without destroying the planet?  Join us for a discussion of these and related questions with Richard Swift, author of the 2014 book “SOS: Alternatives to Capitalism”.

What’s Up With the Bats?

We’ll also have an update on the Haliburton Highlands Land Trust’s Bat Project with Paul Heaven and Sheila Ziman. How many of Ontario’s 8 bat species are still present in the County despite the ravages of White Nose Syndrome? Are all four of the bat species at risk here and, if so, in what numbers? Bats eat large quantities of mosquitos so you’ll want to hear about how one of our best warm season friends are doing in our neck of the woods.

How the Rich Are Stealing Canada’s Public Wealth ~ October 27, 2022 (Encore Presentation)

From the “Public Power” of Ontario Hydro to the “Public Pharma” of Connaught Labs, public enterprise has achieved great outcomes for Canadians only to be privatized and sold off to those more interested in making profit than serving people.

Join us for a conversation about Canada’s fascinating public enterprise history and post-pandemic prospects with award winning author and activist, Linda McQuaig.

The Green New Deal and Beyond: Ending the Climate Emergency While We Still Can ~ September 29, 2022 (Encore Presentation)

Climate Scientists have never been so insistent that immediate action is required to drive down greenhouse gas emissions in order to avoid runaway climate disruption.  Is the Green New Deal a means to achieve that end?

On the next episode of Planet Haliburton we  have a conversation about the prospects and limitations of the Green New Deal with Plant Scientist Stan Cox, Author of “Beyond the Green New Deal: Ending the Climate Emergency While We Still Can”.

Posing as Canadian: Big Foreign Oil’s Capture of Canada’s Energy and Climate Policy ~September 8, 2022 (Encore Presentation)

Vaccine Resistance and the Covid-19 Pandemic ~ July 28, 2022 (Encore Presentation)

Many argue that a return to pre-pandemic personal and working life will have to await the development of an effective and safe vaccine - something that’s by no means guaranteed as we have seen with other recent coronaviruses such as SARS and MERS.

But, even if a safe, effective and affordable Covid-19 vaccine becomes widely available, will it be embraced by a sufficient percentage of the population to ensure widespread public immunity from Covid-19?

To help us understand why a growing number of people have become “vaccine resistant” if not “vaccine hostile”, join me, Terry Moore, for a conversation with Jennifer Reich, an Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Colorado at Denver and the author of the 2016 book entitled “Calling the Shots: Why Parents Reject Vaccines”.

Blue-Green Algae: The Good, The Bad and the Ugly ~ July 14, 2022 (Encore Presentation)

Join me, Terry Moore, for a conversation about everything you ever wanted to know about cyanobacterial algal blooms, with Haliburton Resident and blue-green algae expert, Dr. Elizabeth Favot, Assistant Lake Stewardship Coordinator, Federation of Ontario Cottagers’ Associations (FOCA).

The Science and Politics of Shoreline Preservation ~ June 30, 2022 (Encore Presentation)

On the next episode of Planet Haliburton we examine the science and regulatory issues related to natural shoreline protection.

Natural shorelines perform a range of important ecological functions essential to the environmental and economic health of Haliburton County. But they’re are under increasing pressure due to shoreline development and redevelopment.

Can we protect those natural shorelines from ongoing decline without undermining shoreline landowner property rights or the shoreline landscape industry?

To shed some light on this and other questions related to the draft County Shoreline Preservation By-law, we speak with shoreline naturalization expert, Julia Sutton, and environmental planning consultant, Stephen Fahner.

Local Climate Change Planning: Making a Difference in Haliburton County ~ January 13, 2022

Scientists have never been so insistent that preserving a liveable climate requires immediate action to drive deep cuts to our carbon emissions.  With senior levels of government failing to get that job done, local level climate change planning has taken on a new sense of urgency.

On the next episode of Planet Haliburton we discuss the possibilities, limitations and status of local climate change planning with Korey McKay, the County’s Climate Change Coordinator.
