DESCRIPTION:THIS MEETING HAS ALREADY OCCURRED. \nJoin our Climate Advocacy Interest Group meeting this Wednesday\, April 17th at 10:00 a.m. ET. \nHope to see you then! \nMichael Barkley and Karen Sadlier-Brown – Co-Leads\, CALL’s Climate Advocacy Interest Group \n  \nBACKGROUND NOTES FOR THIS ADVOCACY MEETING: \nTHE CARBON TAX \nYou have probably heard more than enough from “axe the tax” proponents – but given what a hot topic it is\, we thought it is important to hear your views at our meeting on the 17th. \nTo start the discussion Karen is going to provide a brief overview focussing on: \n\nWhat is the consumer carbon tax or rather the carbon levy (as supporters call it)?\nHow much does it cost your pocket book?\nAre there alternative ways to achieve the same outcome?\n\nBefore the meeting on the 17th\, you may want to read this summary from the David Suzuki Foundation: Carbon Pricing 101 \nFor a lively discussion on alternatives to the carbon tax\, here is a link to a podcast supported by the University of Calgary and other foundations. Energy vs Climate’s hosts interview Dr. Mark Jaccard: Hot Topic: Carbon Tax. Dr. Jaccard spoke at one of our early Learning Meetings a few years ago. \nCLIMATE MESSAGING/COMMUNICATION WORKING GROUP \nThere is a lot of very interesting work happening on how to best communicate climate issues and motivate people to support action. In this context\, we note that our Climate Messaging Work Group will be getting together shortly to look at Re.Climate’s latest findings. Re.Climate is located at Carleton University. \nHere are links to Re.Climate’s recent webinar\, the slides and the report: \nWatch the webinar with Chris Hatch from the National Observer and others here. \nRead the Report\, What do Canadians Really Think About Climate Change? A summary of Public Opinion Research for Communicators 2024. \nONTARIO ENERGY TRANSITION WORKING GROUP \nThe Ontario Energy Transition Group looks at the status of Ontario’s energy transition. As with the Messaging group\, we hope to get a zoom meeting together soon. This group is helping to produce a Learning Meeting in the Fall. Here are some links to recent podcasts from Energi Talks that cover the transition and some of the key issues: \nHuge electricity demand growth threatens US power grid \nBig savings for California grid from virtual power plants \n
