David Suzuki: We Must Save the Honeybees and Heres How You Can Help
2016-02-26 15:25:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: Many environmental campaigns over the past 50 years have aimed at getting people to care for imperiled species in wild, far-off places. The focus in Canada has often been on large, photogenic, culturally important animals, with bonus points for campaigns that include alliteration, bumper sticker-friendly slogans and plush toys. This has been a sensible and often successful strategy. Over the past few years smaller, charismatic critters closer to home have buzzed into the spotlight: bees. About...

EcoWatch: A scientist, or any knowledgeable person, will tell you climate change is a serious threat for Canada and the world. But the RCMP has a different take. A secret report by the national police force, obtained by Greenpeace, both minimizes the threat of global warming and conjures a specter of threats posed by people who rightly call for sanity in dealing with problems caused by burning fossil fuels. The RCMP report has come to light as federal politicians debate the anti-terrorism Bill C-51. Although...
