NDP bill calls for job creation through renewable energy plan
People aren't afraid enough of climate change, says a Halifax environment and development professor. "I don't think we appreciate what is actually coming," Kate Ervine, a Saint Mary's University professor with expertise in political ecology and carbon markets. Ervine was at the legislature Tuesday to speak in support of an NDP bill that would create an economic plan focused on green jobs. The bill would create a 15-person task force representing a variety of sectors and communities to develop a plan to transition the province to a greener economy.
