This weeks it's just Saryn and Stefan so we take bit of a storytelling approach to the show this week. We comment on a number of news items, and about how they make us feel. Many of the stories are about the long term implications of this weeks news items.

This week, we talk about yet another danger you probably hadn't thought about due to climate change. It could end up being the worst of them all! Viruses and pathogens live in 'stasis' trapped in the ice and climate change is waking them up. These aren't your average colds, and some may even predate humans meaning we have absolutely no natural defence against them.

Stefan starts the show with a political reality check with regards to rhetoric, on all sides of the climate conversation. Our interview this week is with Chris Caners - General Manager for SolarShare.

We talk about a great article produced from a reddit thread, asking climate deniers to explain what made them change their minds (and accept climate change).

There is a heartbreaking history of violence against poor communities all over the world by Canadian mining companies (or their proxies, for which they are responsible). Rape, murder and corruption: it's on our hands as Canadians.

This week, because pot legalization is in the news we discuss the magic plant that is hemp!!! No not the smokable part...

We focus on a wide variety of science issues this week, featuring Evan Savage from the March for Science Toronto chapter. But wait, wasn't that just a Stephen Harper thing? We find out... Image Credit: Robert Rigel
