Okay guys, wildfires, heat waves, hiking bans, climate change, it's all been in the news lately.
00:00:06.120
So we're at St. Jacob's Market and we're talking about climate change. Let's go.
00:00:23.840
I think it's very serious and I think it's something that we all need to focus on.
00:00:27.940
I think once you kind of see the facts and everything, it's very severe.
00:00:31.800
It's getting very, very warm and they should do something about it.
00:00:34.620
Certain places like in the world are actually like becoming inhabitable.
00:00:44.440
Well, right now I think that we should be putting more regulations on like private sectors,
00:00:50.640
I think we need to be specifically looking at, yes, individuals can be doing things,
00:00:55.320
but I think corporations have a lot bigger impact than just the individual does.
00:00:59.580
It's like the big companies that are contributing a lot more than our individual effort,
00:01:04.680
but also that the companies are being held accountable because they are the biggest polluters.
00:01:13.520
Other than that, government should be responsible for regulating.
00:01:17.460
The tax, the carbon tax, I think what they need to do is to increase that
00:01:22.560
on the bigger companies the industrial companies that are putting these very large outputs of
00:01:28.240
green you know greenhouse gases and that into the environment do you think the carbon tax
00:01:32.960
itself is a good idea um i don't know if the carbon tax specifically is the best way of doing
00:01:37.440
it i don't like the carbon tax no we don't need carbon tax no i don't think any type of tax is a
00:01:44.240
good idea it's an antiquated idea do you think it had really bad results the carbon tax i don't know
00:01:50.960
i'm not familiar i don't think so it was um i personally didn't mind it uh europe actually has
00:02:00.080
a really interesting system of where they actually have a price associated with the carbon output
00:02:04.960
that you put out each year and so the cost of carbon keeps going up each year trying to lower
00:02:10.920
the amount of output and so it's actually really interesting carbon trading system that might be
00:02:16.000
worth looking into of other options so i'm not saying carbon tax is wrong but i'm saying
00:02:20.720
that there's lots of countries tackling it in different ways
00:02:40.120
Because at the end of the day, it is about the profits.
00:02:47.260
if people are going over any limits then there should be taxes yes i mean i'm a little uncertain
00:02:55.500
what's happening in canada but but i think that i'm not opposed to uh higher taxes in order to
00:03:02.940
have a safer world but i understand it needs to be affordable so there has to be a balance
00:03:09.180
do you think though overtaxing our industry will make us less competitive to like the states which
00:03:14.540
doesn't have a tax like that good question there has to be a balance to be
00:03:25.300
able to you know to be globally competitive but yet to be able to
00:03:29.720
decrease the amount of greenhouse gases that are going up in the atmosphere but
00:03:35.060
if we regulate how much they can produce one that make us less competitive as a
00:03:38.180
country yeah these these are the these are the cons no matter how the
00:03:43.220
government decide that they're going to implement whether it be a tax or a
00:03:48.800
surcharge or whatever to these companies ultimately it will always
00:03:52.460
trickle down to the consumer because you know they have to take on those costs
00:03:59.660
and they have to be able to recoup those costs somehow so eventually it's going
00:04:03.840
to make its way down to us do you think it's the government's job to force us to
00:04:14.280
I think the government isn't doing half what they should be doing,
00:04:17.860
and they're doing too much of what they shouldn't be doing.
00:04:20.800
I don't think that we as humans can do anything about the weather change.
00:04:26.620
The weather has never been stationary, as far as we know,
00:04:36.220
is make sure that we are building in safe places we are maintaining our forests which have not been
00:04:44.800
done the undergrowth is part of the problem they need to cut back all of the undergrowth near
00:04:50.920
railroad tracks because that is part of the problem that trains are setting the grass on fire
00:04:56.500
so all we can do is humans is be aware that it's going to happen and make sure we have the resources
00:05:03.160
that when it does happen, we can help save people, their homes, their businesses, etc.
00:05:10.740
