Early life

Suzuki had a twin sister named Marcia, as well as two other siblings, Geraldine (now known as Aiuko) and Dawn. They were born to Setsu Nakamura and Kaoru Carr Suzuki in Vancouver, Canada. Suzuki's maternal and paternal grandparents had immigrated to Canada at the beginning of the 20th century. This article refers to the city in British Columbia, Canada. ...

A third-generation Japanese-Canadian ("Canadian Sansei"), Suzuki and his family suffered internment in British Columbia during the Second World War from when he was six (1942) until after the war ended. In June 1942, the government sold the Suzuki family's dry-cleaning business, then interned Suzuki, his mother, and two sisters in a camp at Slocan in the British Columbia Interior.^[1] His father had been sent to a labour camp in Solsqua two months earlier.

After the war, Suzuki's family, like other Japanese Canadian families, was forced to move east of the Rockies. The Suzukis moved to Islington, Leamington, and London, Ontario.

Suzuki attended Mill Street Elementary School and Grade 9 at Leamington Secondary School before moving to London, where he attended London Central Secondary School. London Central Secondary School is located at the corner of Dufferin Avenue and Waterloo Street in downtown London, Ontario. ...

Academic career

Suzuki received his BA from Amherst College in Massachusetts in 1958, and his Ph.D in zoology from the University of Chicago in 1961. A B.A. issued from the University of Tennessee. ...

Early in his research career he studied genetics, using the popular model organism Drosophila melanogaster (fruit flies). To be able to use his initials in naming any new genes he found, he studied Drosophila temperature-sensitive phenotypes (DTS). (As he jokingly noted at a lecture at Johns Hopkins University, the only alternative was "damn tough skin".) He was a professor in the genetics department (stated in his book Genethics: The Ethics of Engineering Life, 1988) at the University of British Columbia for almost forty years (from 1963 until his retirement in 2001), and has since been professor emeritus at a university research institute.^[2] This article is about the general scientific term. ...

For his work popularizing science and environmental issues, he has been presented with 22 honorary degrees. An honorary degree (Latin: honoris causa ad gradum, not to be confused with an honors degree) is an academic degree awarded to an individual as a decoration, rather than as the result of matriculating and studying for several years. ...

Broadcasting career

Suzuki began in television in 1970 with the weekly show Suzuki on Science, a children's show. In 1974, he founded the radio programme Quirks and Quarks which he also hosted on CBC Radio One from 1975 to 1979. Throughout the 1970s, he also hosted Science Magazine, a weekly programme geared towards an adult audience. Quirks and Quarks is the weekly national science and technology program on CBC Radio One. ... CBC Radio One is the English language news and information radio network of the publicly-owned Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. ... A science magazine is a periodical publication with news, opinions and reports about science for a non-expert audience. ...

Since 1979, Suzuki has hosted The Nature of Things, a CBC television series that has aired in nearly fifty countries worldwide.^[3] In this program, Suzuki's aim is to stimulate interest in the natural world, to point out threats to human well-being and wildlife habitat, and to present alternatives for achieving a more sustainable society. Suzuki has been a prominent proponent of renewable energy sources and the soft energy path. The Earth Day flag includes a NASA photo. ... Renewable energy effectively utilizes natural resources such as sunlight, wind, tides and geothermal heat, which are naturally replenished. ... The soft energy path is an energy use and development strategy delineated and promoted by some energy experts and activists, such as Amory Lovins and Tom Bender; in Canada, David Suzuki has been a very prominent (if less specialized) proponent. ...

Suzuki was the host of the critically acclaimed PBS series The Secret of Life.^[4] His 1985 hit series, A Planet for the Taking, averaged more than 1.8 million viewers per episode and earned him a United Nations Environment Programme Medal. His perspective in this series is summed up in his statement: "We have both a sense of the importance of the wilderness and space in our culture and an attitude that it is limitless and therefore we needn't worry." He concludes with a call for a major "perceptual shift" in our relationship with nature and the wild. Not to be confused with Public Broadcasting Services in Malta. ...

Climate change activism

Over the years, Suzuki has been a forceful spokesperson about the realities of global climate change. His comments have not always been without controversy. On February 15, 2007, Suzuki was interviewed on Toronto radio station AM 640 by morning show host John Oakley. Suzuki asserted that Canada should be branded "international outlaws" for reneging on Kyoto agreements, and dismissed as "a lot of baloney" Oakley's suggestion that some scientists feel intimidated from questioning global warming hypotheses.

Global warming refers to the increase in the average temperature of the Earths near-surface air and oceans in recent decades and its projected continuation. ...

Suzuki said that scientists who express opposing views are "shills" for big corporations. He defended his own foundation by declaring that "corporations have not been interested in funding us" and that their financial backing comes "from ordinary Canadians".^[7] However, the foundation's 2005-06 annual report lists numerous corporate donors, including EnCana Corporation, OPG and ATCO Gas.

OPG may refer to: Orthopantomogram radiograph (a panoramic dental xray) Oriented pyrolytic graphite Ontario Power Generation Optical parametric generator Osteoprotegerin Oldroyd Publishing Group Online Policy Group Category: ...

Suzuki attracted criticism from National Post columnist Barbara Kay, who wrote: "The remorseless pressure on Canadians to sign up for environmental orthodoxies that they are not cognitively equipped to judge is demoralizing and divisive. Tantrums by self-anointed prophets do not help the situation. Whatever the eventual outcome on the global warming front, we could all use a little non-partisanship, maturity and attitudinal cooling on the behavioural front".^[8] The National Post is a Canadian English-language national newspaper based in Don Mills, Ontario, a district of Toronto. ...

However, Suzuki is unequivocal that climate change is a very real and pressing problem and that there is now an "overwhelming majority of scientists" who are in agreement that human activity is responsible. The David Suzuki Foundation website has a clear statement of this:

Suzuki says that despite this growing consensus, many in the public and the media seemed doubtful about the science for many years. The reason for the confusion about climate change, in Suzuki's view, was due to a well-organized campaign of disinformation about the science involved. "A very small band of critics" denies that climate change exists and that humans are the cause. These climate change “skeptics” or "deniers," Suzuki claims, tend not to be climate scientists and do not publish in peer-reviewed scientific journals but rather target the media, the general public, and policy makers. Their goal: "delaying action on climate change." According to Suzuki, the skeptics have received significant funding from coal and oil companies, including ExxonMobil. Suzuki claims that they are linked to "industry-funded lobby groups to - in the words of one leaked memo — 'reposition global warming as theory (not fact).'"^[9] For other uses, see Exon (disambiguation). ... The Information Council on the Environment (ICE), an organization created by the National Coal Association, the Western Fuels Association, and Edison Electrical Institute. ...

The David Suzuki Foundation has implemented a carbon neutral program in its offices. The Foundation states that this is part of its "ongoing commitment to sustainability." The program is designed to show that "taking responsibility for one’s greenhouse gas emissions is straightforward and inexpensive," It uses a guide by the World Resources Institute to calculate greenhouse gas emissions. Because of problems with tree planting projects, the Foundation purchases carbon offsets from energy efficiency and renewable energy projects.^[10] The David Suzuki Foundation is an environmental organization based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. ... A carbon audit regime is an effective means of accounting for greenhouse gas control efforts. ... Top: Increasing atmospheric CO2 levels as measured in the atmosphere and ice cores. ... World Resources Institute (WRI) is an environmental think tank based in Washington, D.C. It was established by James Gustave (Gus) Speth. ... Until recently, most carbon offsets were commonly done by planting trees. ... In physics and engineering, including mechanical and electrical engineering, energy efficiency is a dimensionless number, with a value between 0 and 1 or, when multiplied by 100, is given as a percentage. ... Renewable energy effectively utilizes natural resources such as sunlight, wind, tides and geothermal heat, which are naturally replenished. ...

In 2007, Suzuki made a cross-country tour in a diesel bus, speaking to Canadians about climate change and urging compliance with the Kyoto Accord. Gold Standard carbon offsets were purchased by the David Suzuki Foundation for all bus travel and tour activities.^[11] The Foundation's "David Suzuki's Nature Challenge"^[12] and "David Suzuki's Nature Challenge for Kids"^[13] suggest simple steps people can take to protect nature and improve their quality of life.
