Climate Reporting Under Carney ft. Natasha Bulowski & Taylor C. Noakes (Podcast)
Carney's fossil fuel love affair inevitably affects climate journalists
This week on The North State, I spoke to Acting Parliamentary Bureau Chief for Canada’s National Observer Natasha Bulowski and investigative reporter for DeSmog Taylor C. Noakes about reporting on the climate under Carney.. RSS feed here. Apple Podcasts link here.
Description
Since Carney won the federal election in 2025, he has prioritized resource extraction. Under the guise of "unlocking" economic potential, he has pursued a pipeline funded with public money, passed laws to fast-track similar projects and ignored Indigenous communities in pursuit of these goals. How does this reflect in the country's climate reporting? Natasha Bulowski, Acting Parliamentary Bureau Chief for Canada’s National Observer, and Taylor C. Noakes, investigative journalist with DeSmog, join Scott to discuss the change from Trudeau to Carney, how legacy news fails to hold fossil fuel interests to task and the influence of right-wing think tanks on energy and climate stories.
