A primer for politicians, political candidates and voters on the many problems with the theory of ‘human-caused (and potentially apocalyptic) global warming’

By Climate Realists of B.C., Oct 18, 2024

For thirty years, climate has been one of the “third rails” of Canadian politics—politicians do not dare touch it lest they are accused of being “climate deniers,” on a moral par with Holocaust deniers. And so politicians do not speak out against “The Science” of climate, even when it is clearly flawed.

The silence, at least in B.C., was broken in 2022 by then-Liberal MLA, now Conservative Party of B.C. leader John Rustad, who supported a Tweet by climate skeptic Patrick Moore that “the case for CO2 being the control knob of temperature gets weaker every day.”… Read more

Liberals’ contempt for average citizen is breathtaking—we ungrateful cretins won’t even give up meat!

By Lorne Gunter, Toronto Sun, Sept. 24, 2024

According to the Trudeau Liberals there is almost nothing ordinary Canadians do right. These eco-zealots have utter contempt for our way of life.

We don’t heat our homes with the right furnaces. We don’t drive the right kind of cars. Our electricity doesn’t come from the right (renewable) sources. Those of us who farm insist on using fertilizer and pesticides. We like driving holidays and are in favour of new and upgraded highways. We stubbornly refuse to buy electric vehicles.… Read more

Province will lose billions in fuel-tax revenue for little or no benefit in fighting ‘climate change’

The idea that vehicles on British Columbia roads should be 90% electric by 2030 and 100% by 2035 is unworkable.

For a start, the province will lose hundreds of millions in revenue—not only is it subsidizing purchases of EVs but, compared to a tax on CO₂, it will lose huge amounts of revenue from fuel taxes—perhaps a billion dollars a year. Moreover, a per-kilometre-driven tax on EVs would cause a backlash from owners and scare off potential EV buyers.… Read more

Homeowners and businesses will be paying thousands for power each month to reduce temperature a tiny 0.003°C

By Jonathan Lesser & Mitchell Rolling, Discovery Institute, Sept. 18, 2024

Net-zero energy policies in the Pacific Northwest will produce staggering costs to individuals and businesses without providing any meaningful environmental benefits, warns a new research report from Discovery Institute’s Reasonable Energy program.

The authors find that Washington’s and Oregon’s plan to reach zero energy-related greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 will double existing electricity demand at the cost of $549.9 billion, a burden which would be shouldered by Pacific Northwest households and small businesses. … Read more
