Premier Brad Wall criticized on climate science stance
Following a reference to "misguided dogma" in the throne speech and some heated comments from Brad Wall in the Saskatchewan legislature, a group of environmental activists is calling on the Premier to clarify his stance on climate change.
More than 1,000 people have signed an online petition criticizing Wall for his comments.
They've raised concerns the premier does not accept climate science — the belief held by many scientists that human activity is causing a buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, leading to global warming and climate change.
Mark Bigland-Pritchard, with Climate Justice Saskatoon, is one of the organizers of a town hall meeting planned for Wednesday evening.
He's also written an open letter to the Premier asking him to clarify his position on climate change.
"He's out of touch with reality, to be quite honest," said Bigland-Pritchard.
