We need to stabilize the Earth's climate and preserve the right of all people to reach a dignified level of human development. Big Questions: In a world of extreme poverty and great wealth, what should Canada do? How can we get Canada to kick-start a clean energy revolution? The Speakers: Tom Athanasiou, director of EcoEquity; on ecology and social equity. He'll examine what a fair global climate change agreement means to Canada. Dave Martin, Greenpeace Climate & Energy Coordinator; on how Ontario's nuclear plans will block green energy and meaningful action on climate change.
