Racial Equity in Policy Making — with Véronique Sioufi
In this episode of Below the Radar, our host Am Johal is joined by Véronique Sioufi, the Researcher for Racial & Socio-economic Equity at the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives BC Office, and a doctoral candidate in geography at Simon Fraser University.
Am and Véronique discuss what brought her to her doctoral work and her interest in issues of labour inequality, as well as how her position at the CCPA was created in order to look at structural racism in BC and fill in major data gaps. They also talk about how she and her colleagues in the CCPA approach questions of decolonisation in their work.

Bio:
Véronique is the CCPA-BCs Researcher for Racial & Socio-economic Equity, a data-driven, intersectional initiative that investigates structural racism and socio-economic inequalities in BC. An interdisciplinary researcher, Véronique critically examines the social and political structures affecting the ability of the working class to thrive. She brings a rich blend of expertise and work experience in labour, economic geography, critical data studies, critical race theory and communication. Currently a doctoral candidate in geography at Simon Fraser University, her SSHRC-funded study delves into crowdwork in Canada and Tunisia, particularly how platforms rely on and reproduce precarity and the uneven distribution of that precarity across gender, race, class and geography.
Véronique also holds an MA in Communication from SFU, where she explored the tensions in Canadian unions' use of privately owned social media platforms for collective organizing. Véronique is proud of her Palestinian roots, which make her particularly sensitive to the geographies of politics and power. She is passionate about community-driven, collaborative and hopeful research.

    This is another ridiculous video with no much understanding of technology and innovations that are happening. You cannot solve a problem if your thinking ins in the level of the problem. He is indirectly promoting fossil fuel and we can’t live without that forever. His idea is energy is limited and it has to be rationed is incorrect. While it is true for fossil fuels, it’s not true for renewables to some extent. Suppose you have a home with 10kw solar panel with 15kwh of storage, with an EV all your home needs and your transportation needs are taken care off for the next 30 years. Irrespective of the status of economy, oil prices, oil transportation issues or any political issues, your home and transportation is taken care of. Energy from Sun never depletes and it’s always there. Also, by promoting heat pumps, electricity need drops by 60-70%. We can add three times more AC units with the same energy we use. However, for the fossil fuel industry, days of easy oil are gone. In US, production from conventional oil has drooped drastically and now only shale oil, which is expensive, is the only option. According to IMF, last year fossil fuel companies received an explicit subsidy of 1.3 trillion usd and a total subsidy (explicit and implicit) of 7 trillion USD from 174 countries. This is happening every year for many decades. Oil companies say they need additional 5 trillion in the next decade so that they can supply oil. That’s a lot of tax payer money. We are paying for their drilling, which btw, is only 10-20% successful, the executives huge bonuses, their enormous profits etc. In many countries, governments pay fossil fuel companies fuel consumption subsidy which artificially lowers the price of fuel. For example, Australian government pays fossil fuel companies 11.6 billion USD for artificially reducing price of diesel, which otherwise would have cost a dollar more. We need to have maximum amount of transportation using EV, to reduce dependence on oil, free from automobile exhaust from cities(tail pipe emissions causes premature death and numerous diseases), reduce heat in cities ( automobiles increase the temperature in inner cities by 2 degrees requiring more use of AC) . If this is done, our oil dependence will be for other issues like fertilizers, air transport and few other industries. These can be handled later. He was making fun of the 337x337 mike area in Sahara is enough for all electricity need for the world and a sandstorm will wipe them off. You don’t need to install in Sahara, you can install solar panels in many places where you don’t have many weather issues like in Nevada, California or Arizona or many similar places in the world. Fossil fuels are limited and become more and more expensive everyday. Solar with battery storage is getting cheaper and that will never depleted. There is abundance if we able to understand and utilize rather than stuck on fossil fuels.

    Of the 1,609 scientists who have signed the declaration, two signatories are Nobel Prize laureates. The most recent to sign is Nobel Prize winner Dr. John F. Clauser, winner of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics. In an announcement from CLINTEL, Clauser is quoted as saying “Misguided climate science has metastasized into massive shock-journalistic pseudoscience. In turn, the pseudoscience has become a scapegoat for a wide variety of other unrelated ills. It has been promoted and extended by similarly misguided business marketing agents, politicians, journalists, government agencies, and environmentalists.”

    WOW! Isn't science amazing They can tell us when the temperature of the whole world rises by 1 degree, over a 50 year period. They can tell us when the Ocean's rise by millimetres over a 50 year period They can tell us all that,yet if climate change really was a crisis the best solution they can come up with,would see our industries closed With millions dying every day of cold and starvation And those that survive,living a life in abject poverty,and misery cold and hungry. While watching the people that concocted and implemented the solution Tour the world in their private jets And buy multi million dollar properties down by the coast.

    I want growth... growth in a restoration economy... growth in theater, arts, music, dance, and education. Some of the most oppressed people are the creative ones as their industries have become so concentrated that they can no longer do what they are best at, forced to work jobs that do not tap into their potential or strengths. Instead, we all sit on our couches on or phones or in front of televisions eating garbage food rather than building community around the talents that surround us. Be ashamed. We can have growth... in economic activities that reduce resource pressure. For every resource intensive product or activity, there are dozens of alternatives that are not. Choose wisely, my friends...

Every one of them is programmed and conditioned to believe in unlimited growth. Their death knell as politicians is a failing economy. The politicians are at odds with Life and our predicament.

Of course, it won't be the wealthy who die -- they'll still be eating filet mignon and flying their private jets to Davos. It'll be the poor, the 'useless eaters' as the WEF terms us. While the advanced countries have now gone to below replacement level fertility rates (down to 1.7 or less), less advanced countries are still at 4 or above, but they won't do anything about their overpopulation, so the advanced countries are the ones being demonised, even though it was that advance that has reduced the need for large families (because the infant mortality rate has dropped through the floor) and, if spread through the less developed countries, would almost certainly have the same effect. Indeed, it has. Fertility rates were even higher, but they're slowly dropping. Meanwhile, we're told we need to stop using oil, which means nothing made of man-made fibres or plastics. That puts medicines out (no manufacturing allowed. They need fossil fuels to run), no anaesthetics, no warm clothes unless you're happy wearing wool, furs and leather again, no phones, no computers to examine what's happening, no glasses (plastics or, if we go for glass, we need fossil fuels to get enough heat), hearing aids, everyone in the northern climes back to meat eating in the winter because there'd be no food being imported from warmer climes, no operations (unless you're happy to 'bite on this' while they're doing it), no monitoring for birth defects or detection of cancers, diabetes etc. etc. etc. In other words, we're back to a medieval way of life with all the horrors of disease and ignorance that contained. And he wonders why people aren't happy about the idea and why we won't wake up. More will die because of this shut down than would die of heat. In Medieval times, CO2 was 306ppm but temps were higher. When Brachiosaurus was roaming the Earth, CO2 was at 2000 ppm and the world was greener. We're at 417ppm but CO2 is logarithmic. It has to double to make any appreciable difference. Meanwhile, if it goes below 240ppm (or 0.02% of atmosphere) ALL the plants die and, with them, every living thing on the planet. When the people pushing this agenda stop using private jets, start eating bugs, stop using their phones and computers, wear all leather shoes, cotton, wool or leather clothes (no man made fibres) and refuse medicines or check-ups because of 'the environment' and set an example, I might believe my keeping the temperature in the house so low I'm shivering at night is worth it, but so long as it's one rule for them another for the rest of us, forget it.

    Energy transition.....is codespeak for mass de-population. The methods vary according to the morality of the transitioners......

    Both nature and humanity have various ways of responding to excess. Nature culls by the most efficient methods regardless of species' own preferences. Humanity, filled to overflowing with hubris, thinks it is in charge of the universe and can meaningfully affect all processes including those it clearly cannot. This intelligent idiot did well for about a minute before spouting a litany of unproven hypotheticals and pseudoscience as a basis for installation of global totalitarianism via carbon dioxide demonisation. It IS true humanity needs to reappraise it's whole approach to daily living and long term survival. What is NOT true is that the best way to deal with this is to bully and tax people out if existence. Several important alleged 'facts' need to he challenged. First off ... carbon dioxide does NOT control global temperature. That job has always been taken by the sun, our solar system parameters and the larger universe. Second, what is the evidence that there will a climate catastrophe if the global temperature rises by 1.5 degrees C? This is plainly absolutely without credence. It is colder now than 80% of the last 10,000 years, earth has been naturally cooling since 2015 and it has been warmer in the past during which times humanity flourished. CO2 is the gas of life upon which ALL life on the planet depends and it has been orders of magnitude higher (into thousands of ppmv) in the past when life blossomed and the world did not go on fire (quite the reverse in fact). The whole greenhouse gas hypothesis is completely at odds with the ideal gas laws and the assumptions made in successive IPCC propaganda reports have been proven as incorrect as the models which our brainwashed and largely corrupted leaderships are using to 'justify' draconian and very expensive imaginary solutions to non-existent problems. This just makes everything worse since the monies we should be using to deal with human made problems we CAN and should be addressing, we are wasting on problems we cannot control. Meantime, the predatory capitalists like Gore and Gates for example, along with so called climate gurus (criminals imo) like Hansen, Mann and a host of other grant gravy train riders, are all making out like bandits. You can bet your life THEY won't be cutting THEIR carbon footprints ... because they'll be stamping on your faces forever. We all know in our hearts that we must change our ways but lying, taxing and bullying everyone and installation of global totalitarianism under unelected and unaccountable elites is not the answer and will never be. Don't fall for this climate emergency hype ... it's a complete con. Consume less, want less, take charge of your own health and grow your own food as much as possible.

      I say take Gen x on up to gen z....the most wasted resource of humanity that fas evolved. Overweight, under-intelligent, spoiled, lazy, socially inept, wreckless. We failed raising this bad crop. Take them first, humanly though. Maybe a targeted pandemic. Feed them something the virus has an affinity to. Sticks like glue.....

    As the planet heats, the ice melts, which creates geological destabilization and increased volcanic activity. The Western Antarctic shelf will eventually collapse and we will go into an ice-age while human numbers plummet. There are these things called negative reinforcement feedback loops that these geniuses ignore. We know from a paper in Science by Professor Bruhne and colleagues that with increased atmospheric water, you get increased lightning which cleanses the atmosphere of greenhouse gases. That is why a methane burst from the Arctic that causes a BOE is virtually impossible. A unicorn is more realistic. We are headed for human depopulation and likely a volcanic winter. The same thing happened 125,000 yrs ago. Climate scientists are buffoons.

    We are nearing the end of a cycle of great catastrophe . The oceans will pile the biomass of continents against the mountains 2 miles high which will be the hydro carbon of the future.

    Another malthusian, proclaming that we are too many and extintion is coming due to that. I wander for how much long are they going to keep being wrong. Paul Ehrlich started all this in the 70s and he has been wrong non-stop ever since. But regardless, there's always someone ready to pick up the torch, as long as the government is willing to give away grants so every one of them can feel good and virtuous for saving the earth for all of us.

    Hydrogen, metal powders, biogas, geothermal, home design, batteries, recycling sciences, conservation, grid dynamics, and nuclear power all would yield significant growth in energy security. Hyperbolae are counterproductive.
