The Climate Impact of Proposed PolyMet and Twin Metals Mines

Big Red Canoe - Friends of the Boundary Waters podcast

Coinciding with the 2021 Glasgow Summit, we'll look at how climate change will affect the Boundary Waters and the broader ecosystem of northeastern Minnesota.
In this episode, Dr. Steve Emerman, international expert on hydrology and geophysics digs deeply into how the two proposed copper-sulfide mines — PolyMet and Twin Metals — will exacerbate the climate crisis.
Dr. Emerman has conducted in-depth research into the carbon cost of copper-sulfide mining and he discusses his research into how these mines will drastically increase Minnesota’s carbon footprint.
