The University of Calgary and the Oil Sands.
I studied at the University of Calgary in Canada a specialized course on Climate Change and Geological Ages in 2009. I visited the glaciers in the Rocky Mountains as part of the classes and watched with sadness as the glaciers melt decade after decade. But that was not what saddened me the most, what really struck me at that time was the indifference of the researchers.
They knew the Science behind Climate Change and yet they still didn’t protest. They were just investigating. I asked an expert researcher on Climate Change directly if he did not felt fear about what was coming, or what his feelings were about it, and he told me that extinctions like that had already happened on Earth.
That it was something that we could not change because it would be impossible to stop the ambition of the oil companies. However, what really terrified me was the waste of resources in Canada. Indigenous Canadians were protesting against this devastation, putting bombs on oil and gas lines, and no one was listening. No one was going to stop that oil industry and the ambition of all the workers at Fort McMurray and all oil canadian companies like EnCana. Since then I have been worried about the then Climate Change.
