"Climate change is a global problem with local impacts.

This summer I and my neighbours, along with the people of Lytton, and countless others across Turtle Island are feeling the consequences of our collective reckless disregard of the climate consequences of burning fossil fuels. This summer the wheel of karma is turning to expose the devastating effects of our culture’s worship of profit over anything else, including life itself."

In this week's Best in Climate episode, Christine looks at this summer of reckonings. She discusses the traumatic discoveries of unmarked graves of children at Canadian Indian Residential Schools, her current situation as a potential climate refugee fleeing wildfires, and how she brings together the very different perspectives of a climate activist and a spiritual coach working with energy healing.
