Series: DeSmogCAST
In this episode of DeSmogCAST host Farron Cousins discusses DeSmog Canada’s recently unsuccessful attempt to interview an Environment Canada scientist.
ย 
Steve Horn from DeSmogBlog gives the background story to the in-fighting between oil refiners and tanker train operators who don’t want to pay extra to transport dangerous fuels like Bakkan oil or diluted bitumen from the Alberta oilsands.
ย 
Finally Cousins asks DeSmogBlog’s Mike Gaworecki to explain new revelations that coal companies are taking climate change very seriously – but only behind closed doors.
