    ‘Metabolic Rifts’ with Ian Angus,

    Animated by advances in Earth System Science, ecosocialist researchers have been rediscovering important insights from an older ecological framework called ‘metabolic rift theory’. This theory emphasizes that all life on earth lives in a dynamic two- way relationship with the earth’s biosphere - that thin layer of living matter created by life to sustain life - that’s exhibiting such increasing signs of distress these days. To explore the underlying causes of this distress, my guest on this episode of Planet Haliburton is Ian Angus, author of the 2026 book ‘Metabolic Rifts: Capitalism’s Assault on the Earth System’.

    Adaptation, Health and Safety and the Climate Emergency

    This episode looks at the growing calls for urgent Climate Change Adaptation action as the climate emergency deepens. The failure to dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions has come home to roost in the form of more frequent and intense extreme weather events including increased flooding, droughts, heat domes, and wildfire with all the associated increased risk to human health and safety that entails. Jennifer Penney, a longtime health policy advocate, activist and chair of the Adaptation Working Group of Seniors for Climate action Now (SCAN!), joins me for this timely conversation.

    The Right To Repair with Dr. Natasha Tusikov.

    Virtually everyone these days has a story about being forced to throw away an otherwise perfectly serviceable appliance, tool or device simply because one small part has failed. You know the line … “it’s more ‘cost-effective’ to waste it and buy new than repair it. Few of us, though, are aware of the extent to which planned obsolescence has been extended into every aspect of our lives in an era dominated by an ubiquitous, digitally-connected always on “Internet of Things”. To help shed some light on how the rise of digital mega-corporations, like Apple, Google and Meta, is linked to new forms of planned obsolescence and the production of digitally-driven waste, I’m joined by Dr. Natasha Tusikov , co-author of a 2023 book entitled “The New Knowledge: Information, Data, and The Remaking of Global Power”.

    “Cobalt: The Making of a Mining Superpower”

    This week on Planet Haliburton, Charlie Angus, the NDP Member of Parliament for the current Federal Riding of Timmins, James Bay, which covers an area greater than a quarter of Ontario’s entire land mass is our guest. In addition to that “day job”, the Honourable Member is a practicing musician – with the iconic band The Grievous Angels - and the author of 8, soon to be 9, books. His 8th book entitled “Cobalt: The Making of a Mining Superpower”, is a fascinating look at the role his adopted home town of Cobalt, Ontario played in making Canada the world’s preeminent resource extraction superpower it is today. This interview highlights some of the key themes in Cobalt including the outrageous power and excess of wealthy mine owners and related state-sponsored attempts to steal Indigenous Lands. At the same time, Angus foregrounds the amazing level of solidarity and resistance to corporate power and colonialism put up by Indigenous People, miners and the Union they built to defend themselves. This is not the “Empire Ontario” history we were taught in school that's embedded in our national myths and the truths they hide. This is the Real Deal.

    Wasted: Getting Ourselves Out From Under

    This episode features a conversation about approaches to dealing the mountains of garbage being generated by our linear “Take, Make, and Waste” economy with Dr. Calvin Lakhan, Director of the “Waste Wiki Project” at York University. As calls for a “circular” economy that views “garbage” as a wasted “resource” have gained popularity, the notion of “Extended Producer Responsibility” or EPR has become a key waste management strategy. But so far EPR has failed to live up proponent claims and Ontario’s recycling rate is tanking. The question is why and what can be done about it? Issues discussed include EPR and Ontario’s Blue Box Program, incineration, “planned obsolescence’ and “The Right to Repair” movement. This podcast is hosted by ZenCast.fm

    “COP28” Post-Mortem – The Good the Bad and the Ugly

    The 28th annual UN-sponsored Climate Summit or COP28 is now history. These annual spectacles are chocked full of contradictions and there’s no shortage of controversy about was – or wasn’t - accomplished by thousands of conference delegates from close to 200 countries between November 30th and December 13th in Dubai. While the last episode of Planet Haliburton was a COP28 “Pre-Mortem”, this one is its “Post-Mortem” sequel. Mitchell Beer, the publisher of The Energy Mix, Canada’s preeminent source on climate news and opinion, returns to help take stock of the good, the bad and the ugly aspects of COP28.

    “Climate Summits and the Climate Crisis: A Heads-Up on COP28”

    2023 is shaping up to be the hottest year on record with all the consequences that holds for all life on the planet. With the 28th annual UN-sponsored “Conference of the Parties” or COP28 under the 1992 UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), delegations from the 197 countries will be descending on Dubai, one of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), from November 30th – to December 12th. In the lead up to this year’s climate spectacle, there’s been a veritable avalanche of climate-emergency related studies and messaging in the media all competing for limited air time and attention. To help listeners get a handle on the state of the climate science and politics on the eve of COP28 as well as the key issues in contention in Dubai, Planet Haliburton invited Mitchell Beer, the publisher of The Energy Mix, Canada’s preeminent source on climate news and opinion, to join us for both pre and post-COP28 conversations.
