Greta Thunberg

Image of the Week: The world’s best-known climate crusader made the Davos elite squirm, with the help of Indigenous activist Autumn Peltier. But is embarrassment enough?

The 16-year-old Swede lent her voice to Albertans who care deeply about climate change. And make no mistake, there are a lot of them.

Max Fawcett: Greta Thunberg’s visit to Alberta will shine a global spotlight on its oil and gas industry. But it looks like they’re about to squander their moment.

Andray Domise: Politicians have turned climate change into a spectacle, distracting average citizens from the hard truth that is—climate policy needs to change now

Stephen Maher: Many climate plans rely on continuing to produce emissions and leaving it to the next generation to get carbon out of the air. It’s a choice we can’t afford.

David Moscrop: What’s on the line when someone in whom public trust is placed fails to react appropriately to shame?

Michael Bernstein: We don’t all have to stop flying, swear off meat or close down our heavy industry to address climate change. Instead, we already have a better solution—an economy-wide carbon tax.
