Season 5, Episode 13 – Canadian Climate Lawfare
Conversation with Andrew Roman
On today’s episode, Dr. Tammy Nemeth speaks with Andrew Roman, a retired litigation lawyer with almost 50 years of experience in environmental, electricity, competition, and constitutional issues in Canada. Our wide-ranging conversation covered the various “children’s” or “youth” climate cases in Canada and abroad, the potential impacts of the climate opinion from the UN’s International Court of Justice, the “CO2 glass dome fallacy” in Canadian judicial thinking, and a whole lot more.
