Forget “Earth Hour”; Participate in “Energy Hour” one hour Earlier

Earth Hour is a poignant symbol of how climate activists have hijacked the environmental movement,” said Tom Harris, executive director of the Ottawa, Canada-based International Climate Science Coalition (ICSC). “Most people do not realize that, when they turn out their lights for sixty minutes on March 23, they are not supporting science-based environmental protection. Participants in Earth Hour are unwittingly helping prop up one of the most threatening scientific hoaxes in history—the idea that carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from human activities are known to be causing dangerous global warming and other problematic climate change.”

Canada can do more than follow on climate change

Environment Minister Peter Kent announced last week that Canada will follow the United States on climate change. This was no surprise. The Canadian government has been following U.S. climate policy for years. Our government has even made it clear to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) that Canada's greenhouse gas emission target—a 17% reduction below 2005 levels by 2020—is exactly the same as that of the Americans and only will be implemented if the U.S. implements theirs. There is no doubt that our most important climate polices are decided in Washington DC, not Ottawa.

Scuttling the Ship of State to appease climate activists

Imagine you are travelling on the safest, most powerful ocean liner in the world. One day, the captain announces, “We are approaching a severe storm so we’re scuttling the ship. Man the lifeboats!”

Is the U.S. being hoodwinked on climate change?

On December 5, U.S. Special Envoy for Climate Change, Todd Stern told the United Nations Climate Change Conference now underway in Qatar, that "The Durban Platform represents an agreement for the 2020s and beyond--one that will be applicable to all and therefore have the potential to achieve the ambition we all seek."

We must prepare for future Sandys

Now that Tropical Storm Sandy has finally passed and the massive clean up job is underway, it is important to soundly refute the excited claims of climate campaigners such as 350.org's Bill McKibben and journalists at the Washington Post.

Presidential candidates right to ignore climate change

It’s a relief for Canadians that America’s real concerns are trumping the loud and aggressive climate lobby in the U.S. election. After all, we have pledged to follow the U.S. lead on climate change. For example, our Copenhagen greenhouse gas emission targets are exactly the same. If America brings in a national cap and trade system, you can be sure Canada will follow.

Global warming scare too costly to let continue

The global warming scare is one of the most costly and misguided mass movements ever. The belief that man-made carbon dioxide (CO2) is causing dangerous climate change is not supported by the scientific evidence.

Heads should roll at the UN over climate panel’s disgrace

"The authority of the United Nations is being undermined by the incompetence exposed within its Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change [IPCC], and ultimately the buck has to stop with UN Secretary General," asserted International Climate Science Coalition Chief Science Adviser Professor Bob Carter of James Cook University in Australia.

Politicizing the climate science debate has boosted alarmism

[Part 5 of a 6 part series examining the so-called “consensus” in the climate science community, the scientists who dare dissent from political correctness and a new, less partisan way to promote rational climate policy]

Governments still promote climate fears despite contradictory advice from thousands of experts

[Part 4 of a 6 part series examining the so-called "consensus" in the climate science community, the scientists who dare dissent from political correctness and a new, less partisan way to promote rational climate policy] In part 1, part 2and part 3 of this series, it was shown that claims of a 'consensus' in the climate science community that our CO2 emissions are causing dangerous global warming are unfounded.

Bafflegab and BS in the climate debate

image[Part 3 of a 6 part series examining the so-called "consensus" in the climate science community, the scientists who dare dissent from political correctness and a new, less partisan way to promote rational climate policy] In part 1 and part 2 of this series, it was shown that the supposed consensus in the climate science community that our CO2 emissions are causing dangerous global warming is not substantiated. Here we examine the contents of a typical open letter to government in support of the CO2/climate crisis hypothesis to see if it is provides meaningful guidance to public policy formulation.

Smoke and Mirrors in the Climate Science Game

[Part 1 of a 5 part series examining the so-called "consensus" in the climate science community, the scientists who dare dissent from political correctness and a new, less partisan way to promote rational climate policy] We are told by activists, politicians, media and official science bodies that climate change science is 'settled', our emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) are causing a climate crisis and we must take action to prevent dangerous global warming. Supposedly, only a handful of unqualified naysayers contest this conclusion.
