In their new book, Global Warming and The Sweetness of Life, co-authors Matt Hern and Am Johal claim that any question of ecology is a primarily a question of land politics and sovereignty. In order to grapple with new definitions of ecology, they set off on a road trip with cartoonist Joe Sacco to visit the tar sands of Northern Alberta. During their travels, they spoke to people about their relationships to land and extractive capitalism. Am Johal talks with us about the book.
