00:00:00.000 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.
00:00:11.440 How serious is climate change?
00:00:13.300 Climate change is super serious.
00:00:14.720 I think it's pretty serious.
00:00:16.020 It's very serious.
00:00:16.940 I would say it's pretty serious.
00:00:18.200 It's a really serious issue.
00:00:19.620 It's extremely serious.
00:00:21.120 I think it's really bad.
00:00:22.240 I think it's very severe.
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.
00:00:38.280 Oh yeah, it's right here.
00:00:40.360 Just because of like the heat change.
00:00:42.240 What drastic actions do we need to be taking?
00:00:44.440 Well, right now I think that we should be putting more regulations on like private sectors,
00:00:48.620 people that do like a lot of like polluting.
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.
00:01:08.200 I don't know how to say it.
00:01:09.020 They could implement more...
00:01:10.440 Regulations, maybe?
00:01:11.460 So yeah, more regulations, I would say.
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
00:02:23.760 that maybe are worth exploring as well.
00:02:25.420 I don't know if it should be a carbon tax.
00:02:27.540 I think it should be more like regulations
00:02:29.040 about how much you're allowed to produce.
00:02:30.960 Corporations are really eager just to pay
00:02:32.600 and get their product going.
00:02:35.920 They'll be really happy to just pay that fine
00:02:38.420 and just keep polluting.
00:02:40.120 Because at the end of the day, it is about the profits.
00:02:41.600 So if they're able to just pay it off,
00:02:43.120 then they will keep doing it
00:02:44.200 and won't really just waive them.
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
00:04:07.400 to comply with the Green Agenda?
00:04:12.360 Half and half.
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.
00:04:25.660 It's going to happen.
00:04:26.620 The weather has never been stationary, as far as we know,
00:04:31.180 as far back as science can track it.
00:04:33.600 But what we can do to be prepared for it
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 Okay, guys, it seems the media is drumming up the climate action a lot.
