Made-in-Alberta – Climate Talks Part One

Length: (4 min)

MIA (Ch. 16) Seasonal Specials (Ep. 3) Climate Talks Part One
The upcoming Copenhagen climate conference follows a twelve-year quest for a political agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This arises from a thirty-year scientific quest to help humans understand the dangers such greenhouse gas emissions pose to our continued well-being on planet Earth.

About Chapter 11 “Seasonal Specials”
Going green isn’t about changing your life beyond recognition. It’s about finding lower-impact ways of enjoying our lifestyles and seasonal celebrations. Made-in-Alberta investigates how Albertans are making every day Earth Day.

About “Alberta Speaks”
We catch everyday Albertans out and about in our community to ask their opinions on new energy issues.

About Made-in-Alberta (MIA) Series

Energy, water and climate, these are hot topics for the 21st Century. With conventional fuel reserves running out, water tables running low, and global temperatures running high, 96 percent of Albertans now want new energy solutions. Since 2004, Barb Allard and her Made-in-Alberta team have been finding these solutions and bringing them to community television and the world-wide-web.
