Hi friends! This week we dive in and talk about COVID-19 (aka the novel coronavirus), after avoiding it as long as we could! We discuss COVID-19’s impact on climate change and oil prices, and a powerful succulent in South Africa called spekboom. Oh! And Curtis rants about falling down a rabbit hole of trying to source an article’s information. Enjoy!

Hey friends! This week we discuss the awesome new federal government regulations to protect right whales, a court ruling preventing Heathrow airport expansions because of the Paris Agreement, and how eco-anxiety is real, everyone is dealing with it (including scientists!), but awareness growing and support systems are becoming more available. Also, apologies for Louis the cat’s multiple outbursts (oops).

Hey friends! We mix things up a bit this week and spend the whole episode on the Coastal GasLink developments and resulting protests that are shutting down Canada’s railways, among other things. It’s a heavy topic, but we learned a lot preparing for it and hope you can learn from it to! We dig into the extraction project itself, the First Nations involved and their rights, and international agreements on the issue. Thanks for checking it out :)

Hey friends! Happy New Year! In our first episode of 2020, we discuss the wildfires in Australia, a significant United Nations ruling on climate refugees, and how the oceans are warmer than we’ve ever experienced. Oh and of course, Louis is present, and we talk too much about microwaves. Enjoy!

Hi Friends! In our last episode of 2019, we talk about legal action getting easier against fossil fuel companies, environmental documentaries telling it like it is, and electric airplanes! Happy holidays everyone :)

Hi Friends! Keeping with the positive stories for this month, we talk about how climate action will create lots of jobs, the amazing ways we can heat and cool our homes with renewable energy, and how climate models have been right for decades. We even spend a bit of time talking about cats! Enjoy :)

Hi friends! In this week's episode, we kick off a month of positive environmental stories for The Act On Science Show, looking at how fishers are protecting whales, how electric cars are actually better than petrol ones, and the cool things scientists are doing to save corals. Oh! And someone launched some wine into space for science. Enjoy!

Hey everyone! In this week's episode, we discuss 2019's word of the year, how (to no one's surprise) we're not on track to meet the Paris Agreement targets, and some big climate activism happening in mainstream sports and music. Hope you enjoy!

Hi Friends! In our return to the show this week, we discuss the declaration of a climate emergency made by scientists around the globe, how the climate crisis is happening faster than originally thought, and how we'd like to see social/moral reasons to address the climate crisis more often in the mainstream. Enjoy!

Hey everyone! In our biggest episode yet, we take a deep dive into Canada's election results, what it means for the environment, and what a path forward to unite our provinces might look like. Enjoy!
