About David Suzuki
Suzuki: Ocean study criticism shows benefits of scientific method
Errors in a recent ocean warming study illustrate global warming’s complexity. They also show the depths to which climate science deniers will stoop to dismiss or downplay evidence for human-caused climate change.
This storm warning was meant to help North Carolina prepare
The warning was meant to help North Carolina prepare its long, wide, low-lying coast for the kinds of severe occurrences that are becoming increasingly common as climate change ramps up. But developers and others complained the forecasts could hurt property values and increase insurance costs.
Assessing seafood retailers’ progress helps consumers and industry
A warm summer day, a cold drink and fish on the grill. It doesn’t get much better. But how do you know if your fish is sustainable?
Caribou science denial cripples conservation efforts
Scientist David Suzuki writes that the Forest Products Association of Canada appears to have "an ulterior motive" in recognizing climate change is a serious threat to forests and habitat, and vowing the sector is doing its part to fight climate change through work in forests, mills and through the products that it makes.
Squeezing the carbon bubble
Energy efficiency and technology squeeze the carbon bubble, writes David Suzuki. It's a bubble that will burst with or without government action.
Carbon pricing is an important tool to tackle climate change
Scientist David Suzuki asks "how do we ensure the price of fossil fuels includes the costs of pollution, environmental degradation and climate disruption?" The simplest and proven way, he writes, is to put a price on carbon emissions.
Mobility pricing relieves congestion, helps people breathe easier
By 2002, drivers in London, England, were spending as much as half their commuting time stalled in traffic, contributing to much of the city centre’s dangerous particulate pollution.
Climate change drives disease-spreading arthropods into new territory
According to an African proverb (and the Dalai Lama), “If you think you’re too small to make a difference, try sleeping in a closed room with a mosquito. Climate change is causing diseases to spread in areas where they were previously seldom seen.
Suzuki says debate around his honourary degree is “necessary”
Scientist David Suzuki says he welcomes the healthy debate generated by the honorary degree he will soon receive from the University of Alberta for his environmental work.
Curbing industry’s methane emissions gives Canada a leading edge
Canada has taken a major step in cleaning up its oil and gas sector. We’re the first country to commit to methane emission regulations for the industry, marking an important shift toward climate protection.
