The only realistic path forward is to recognize the [sic] Canadian-produced oil and gas will remain a major part of Canada’s energy supply and that the energy sector is an integral part of the climate change planning process, not opponents of the search for an effective transition to a more sustainable economy, | 7 |
Now is the critical time to begin developing an engagement strategy in order to make sure that your company is prepared to achieve a majority ‘no’ vote and ensure that all of your key stakeholders fully understand the long-term implications of the activist demands before agreeing to any ongoing dialogue with potential ... | 0 |
So how happy should we critics of the climate industry and the environmental Left and its myriad arguments and nostrums be? Answer: Sort of happy, no small achievement in the Beltway, but not nearly as much so as could have been the case, | 0 |
I am delighted to continue my support for the GWPF which has brought much needed rigour into the climate debate. | 5 |
American air quality has improved substantially without [EPA rules], and they would have virtually no effect on the climate. | 4 |
That's why it's called "climate change," now instead of global warming. | 1 |
Are you saying that the greenhouse effect could even help improve biodiversity in the long term? | 3 |
There is no climate emergency, crisis, breakdown, bombshell or any other superlative you attach to it.The Great Barrier reef isn't dying, the poles are having their coldest periods in fifty years | 1 |
The comment about ‘we shouldn’t question the science,’ no. We should encourage people to discuss the science, but do it in a deep way and not with slogans like the 97% consensus, which is another one of these phoney statistics that emerges. | 5 |
There are many feasible scenarios for how climate change may effect economic interests […] climate change may not be detrimental (a little warming will probably be good for the world as a whole), | 3 |
Charles Anderson PhD, a materials physicist, has a new post today | 0 |
I’m impressed by the fact that the present climate, from the perspective of a geologist, is very close to the coldest it’s ever been. The concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere today is closest to the lowest it’s ever been. | 2 |
That is this climate change agenda that is shackling this country like a set of handcuffs. I said it at the first debate, and I stand by it. The climate change agenda is a hoax because it has nothing to do with the climate… If you thought COVID was bad, what’s coming with this climate agenda is far worse. We should not... | 1 |
As Dick Lindzen alluded to back in 1990 , while everyone seems to understand that the greenhouse effect warms the Earths surface, few people are aware of the fact that weather processes greatly limit that warming. | 5 |
And what is your view of the prognoses that global warming will cause up to 30 percent of all animal species to become extinct? | 0 |
Climate policies have been blamed in some quarters for contributing to the recent run-up in energy prices, but there is no evidence. In fact, a greater supply of clean energy sources and technologies would have protected consumers and mitigated some of the upward pressure on fuel prices. | 0 |
As we now know from the Climategate Emails, this band saw the Medieval Warm Period as an enormous obstacle in their mission of spreading the word about global warming. If temperatures were warmer 1,000 years ago than today, the Climategate Emails explain in detail, their message that we now live in the warmest of all p... | 5 |
Take a long hard think if you truly want oil and gas climate-denying content to make up the majority of the agency’s output. | 6 |
The reality is that even after two decades of climate talks, we get a meagre 0.5% of our total global energy consumption from solar and wind energy, according to the leading authority, the International Energy Agency (). And 25 years from now, even with a very optimistic scenario, envisioning everyone doing all that th... | 4 |
CO2 is not powerful in that sense, the only thing it does in the system is make the planet greener. | 3 |
There will always be challenges to humanity in the form of extreme weather, but we’ll be better positioned to handle natural disasters in the future if policymakers embrace technological innovation and responsible industrial development rather than unfounded global warming hysteria, | 1 |
There was nothing special about the temperature of the Earth in 2014. In fact, there has been no meaningful warming since last century. | 1 |
The amount of energy used to construct solar and wind facilities is greater than they produce in their working lives. | 4 |
The policies being promoted are insane… If you believe energy poverty is a good thing, you should support controls on carbon emissions. But most of the world disagrees with that. | 4 |
Although the extent of the summer sea ice after 2006 dropped abruptly to levels not expected until 2050, the predicted 67-per-cent decline in polar bear numbers simply didn't happen. | 3 |
The presidency of Barack Obama is a case study in stupid does. | 0 |
The utter absence of climate change from President Trump’s State of the Union Address stands in stark contrast to its prominence in all of former President Obama’s speeches. Whether climate alarmists here and abroad like it or not, their pet topic has fallen off the agenda for the highest official in the world’s most p... | 6 |
The McCain-Lieberman bill would create a national CO2 cap and trade program that would be highly injurious to coal-based electricity. | 4 |
But what % of those EV charging stations will run on renewable generated power? 5% maybe. This isn't real progress on climate change. It's a rouse until the majority of those EVs run on something other than fossil fuel gen power. | 4 |
For the past 500 million years, the atmospheric carbon dioxide content has been decreasing and if we halved today's atmospheric carbon dioxide content, all life would die. | 2 |
So I’m an unapologetic America First conservative. I do not apologize about that. But I think to put America first, we need to go further and rediscover what America is. So what I call kind of America First 2.0. And so, you know what? I agree with a lot of President Trump’s policies. I was a big fan of them at the time... | 6 |

Coastal lake sediments along the Gulf of Mexico shoreline from 1,000 to 2,000 years ago suggest more frequent and intense hurricanes than occur today . | 5 |
This victory for taxpayers came after years of hard work. The CTF has been the leading voice against carbon taxes in Canada. We hosted anti-carbon tax events across the country, launched billboards, handed out bumper stickers, debated pro-tax advocates, intervened in court cases and conducted numerous media interviews ... | 4 |
Ramping up wind power to 10, 20, or 30% of U.S. electricity production would likely increase annual bat kills to 10-to-30 million every year. | 4 |
Scientific questions are not resolved by majorities. And there is no proven link between human activity and global warming. Didn’t you know? | 2 |
We are the only country to have legally bound ourselves to the 2050 targets – and certainly the only one to bind ourselves to a doomed policy. In the absence of a legally binding international agreement, which looks unlikely given disagreement within EU member states and the position of the BRIC countries, the Climate ... | 4 |
the sea level rise is so slow that we can easily cope it and that we can't look into the future? | 3 |
In fact, many of the Trump supporters who stormed into the Capitol openly boasted about their participation, live-streaming as they forced their way past police and bashed the building’s doors and windows. | 0 |
Although the climate has been subject to autonomous change throughout the earth’s existence, human activity certainly also has an impact. There is, however, no unity of opinion or even of research about the weight of this impact. | 2 |
Reducing power plants’ air pollution would result in ‘14,100 fewer premature deaths,’ among other ‘significant health benefits,’ ‘by dramatically reducing fine particle pollution caused by SO2 and NOx emissions. EPA estimates that reducing power plants’ SO2 and NOx emissions by approximately 60% will deliver ‘particula... | 0 |
Nothing Canada can do to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (already a small and diminishing fraction of global emissions) would be enough to exert a measurable influence on the climate. | 4 |
United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-sponsored and funded ‘human health effects science’ research is unreliable and makes irresponsible and outrageous claims about how air pollution causes thousands of deaths. | 5 |
"Since the end of the 20th century , the temperature hasn't done much," Dr. Christy said. "It's on this kind of warmish plateau." | 1 |
This is a a deception. It’s the greatest deception in history because there have been deceptions in the past, but this is the first one on a global scale that affects every single person and every single thing,” Ball began The public simply don’t understand the science of climate change; therefore, they are easily fool... | 6 |
The science is settled? While I got the impression there’s plenty of consensus among the scientists at the Santa Fe conference on a warming planet, there wasn’t much agreement on points beyond that. | 5 |
Ms. Seibt was requested to delete two YouTube videos because they violate German law. The basis of our decision is the prohibition of third party influence on the editorial content in audiovisual media according to articles 7 para. 7 sentence 1 in connection with 58 para. 3 sentence 1 of the Interstate Broadcasting Tre... | 0 |
It is to be expected that the true believers in this historic delusion are the same arrogant , willfully ignorant , progressives who , as the Libertarians aptly put it , submit to the cult of the state . For them to come to terms with the falsehood of this quantitative scientific absurdity is to face the falsehood of t... | 5 |
The vast majority of this warming is near the Earths surface, and is due to H2O molecules, rather than CO2. Forecasts of large amounts of CO2 warming, are not based on any legitimate science. | 2 |
One can take seriously the undeniable threat posed by climate change while also asking whether some of the theatrics and hyperbole surrounding climate summits only serve to trivialize the process, | 0 |
I want to say to you at the Heartland Institute,” Pruitt said. “Thanks for what you’re doing to advance energy, thank you for what you’re doing to advance natural resources. We’ve been blessed immensely as a country. To whom much is given, much is required. And when you have tremendous natural resources from coal, to n... | 7 |
These industries [shale/renewables] have a role to play provided they are subject to the same tax and regulation as the rest of the energy sector. If on a level playing field such operations are commercially viable, then they are a welcome addition to a diverse energy mix, but to cosset industries that cannot possibly ... | 4 |
The anti-utility hit piece factory masquerading as a ‘watchdog’ schtick has been done so many times in AZ. @EnergyandPolicy and @DavidPomerantz are trying it again, but we’ve seen this movie before. Tactics have been overused here and are seen as boring. No one is intimidated. | 0 |
Due to the remarkable mechanisms that corals have developed to adapt to changing temperatures, especially the ability to swap symbionts, corals are perhaps the least endangered of any ecosystem to future climate change – natural or man-made. | 3 |
Of the many points to be made, here are a few Koonin’s analysis totally fails to consider the significant risk of very serious impacts on marine life of ocean acidification from the rising concentration. Impacts are already affecting those growing oysters and other shelled organisms in the Pacific Northwest, and coral... | 0 |
The fact is that any supposed damage caused by human driven climate change is being massively over exaggerated to further agendas and line pockets. Humanity has far more serious threats facing it. | 4 |
As a result of my experience and personal observation, I have great difficulty believing that hundreds, let alone thousands, of children died at residential schools and were buried in schoolyards without proper funerals or official documentation. (I remain prepared to change my mind if shown compelling evidence.) | 0 |
The analysis reported here suggests that considerable caution should be exercised when using EIA forecasts relating to the future price, supply, and consumption of NG. Similar caution should be exercised when using NEMS to assess the broader economic impacts of energy policy initiatives, e.g., carbon cap-and-trade prog... | 0 |
A business as usual scenario will give you a warming over the 21st century, which is modest. How modest? Well within the goals set in Copenhagen or in Paris. What I want to emphasize is that it is not really important what the mechanism linking solar activity to climate it is because we see that such a link exists, and... | 6 |
Human activity that emits carbon dioxide,” he wrote, “will make the world warmer than it otherwise would be. That observation by itself does not mean there is a crisis nor does it justify a large carbon tax. | 5 |
There has been no temperature trend over the last 15 or so years despite increasing atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases (GHG), | 5 |
I am convinced that policies meant to reduce alleged carbon dioxide-induced global warming will be destructive. | 4 |
According to Marlo Lewis in A Skeptics Guide to the Inconvenient Truth ** tide gauge records show that sea levels at Tuvalu actually fell during the latter half of the 20th Century. This is an island often quoted as being lost to rising sea levels including in Al Gores book also called An Inconvenient Truth where there... | 1 |
The IPCC has actually become a closed circuit; it doesn’t listen to others. It doesn’t have open minds… I am really amazed that the Nobel Peace Prize has been given on scientifically incorrect conclusions by people who are not geologists. | 6 |
Yeah, it is weird that we are constantly told to trust the science. Science takes years of proven theory to come to a correct conclusion although climate change has never been proven over the years. | 5 |
The prince certainly needs someone to point out to him that the planet is not ‘dying’ and that it was doing just fine when CO2 concentrations were vastly higher than they are now or are ever likely to be as a result of whatever amount of fossil fuels we burn. | 3 |
Although I do not pretend to speak for the planet’s flora, I am quite certain that, if plants had a say in the matter, they would not lobby for reductions in levels. For plants, is food. They need more of it, not less. | 3 |
Climate alarmists are seemingly unaware of the billions of people who wouldn’t live to see the future if their basic energy necessities of today were not met by affordable and available fossil fuels,” he wrote. “Saving the planet must not mean rejecting fossil fuels to meet such needs. Otherwise, the clarion call of en... | 7 |
Remember, for the eco-elite, hair-shirt asceticism is a feature not a bug. Giving ordinary people unlimited energy would horrify these high priests. What they love about climate change is the excuse it gives them to disapprove of people having fun. Imagine the scowl on Greta’s face when we tell her electricity is going... | 6 |
In comparison to water in all of its forms, the effect of the carbon dioxide increase over the last century on the temperature of the earth is about as significant as a few farts in a hurricane! | 2 |
Public Policy and the Media: Do We Get the Whole Story? | 0 |
What all these papers argue in their different ways is that the alarmist version of global warming aka Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming (CAGW) is a fake artefact. | 6 |
Because the science firmly and overwhelmingly shows fracking to be safe and not a systemic threat to groundwater – nor does it cause cancer, asthma, or birth defects (as is claimed by the anti-human, environmental Left) – I’ll assume that the Oregon House’s decision to vote for this bill was purely for superstitious re... | 6 |
Even the IPCC knows about [the urban heat island effect], and tried to adjust for it, but as [Ross] McKitrick mentioned, they adjust poorly for it…” (See video of his speech at the Heartland Institute’s ICCC1 below) | 5 |
they gave us 'global warming'. Now, they're hedging all bets & call it 'climate change'! It should be called 'climate might change'... | 1 |
To the extent that the UNEP researchers have toned down the claims of Myers, Wilson and Ehrlich, they are to be congratulated. What they have done instead, however, is to play up the threats to the ‘cuddly’ animals – mammals and birds – and thereby maximize media attention, | 0 |
Whether it be successfully commercializing emissions-reducing technologies in the power, manufacturing, or transportation sectors, the U.S. must lead the world in innovation. And we must do so in a way that creates meaningful opportunity for those communities here in the U.S. that have already been left behind instead... | 0 |

It is Remain that is the leap in the dark o vote Leave is the safe option. […] I want to explain what Remain really means. And to assure those of you who are undecided, that to Leave really is the safe and benign option. | 0 |
More to the point, unilateral action will not mitigate climate change. The U.S. is only a small fraction of total emissions. Even if all of the Annex I countries of the Kyoto Protocol agreed to binding constraints, they would account for less than half of the world?s total emissions, and a far smaller fraction of the e... | 4 |
This thing is not over. We’re dealing with a massive bureaucracy, and the deep state is real. | 0 |
If the Paris accords are just another catalyst to temperamental environmentalism, they will reinforce these counterproductive trends, we will lose more time, waste more money and squander more opportunity to help the environment,” Myers wrote at The Daily Herald of Everett, Washington. | 4 |
Climate-change skeptics might be regarded as modern-day witches because they think that global warming comes from natural forces. However, it’s superstitious alarmists, who believe that extreme weather originates in our CO2 emissions and who have a dread of impending disaster, who are really the witches. | 6 |
Heat waves in the US are now no more common than they were in 1900 and the warmest temperatures in the US have not risen in the past fifty years. | 1 |
But it is part of a long list of studies from independent teams (as this interactive graphic shows), using a variety of methods that take account of critical challenges, all of which conclude that climate models exhibit too much sensitivity to greenhouse gases. | 5 |

We do not believe that past and current climates are sufficiently well understood to enable projections of future climate changes to be accurately predicted. Our purpose is to exchange scientific ideas and to encourage proper political and social debate on this intriguing subject. | 5 |
Other climate gaffes include the claims about the worsening of extreme weather events due to climate change. Contrary to popular belief, there has been no observable increase in extreme weather events. | 1 |
In fact, researchers have never established a connection between climate change and extreme weather events. | 5 |
The main problem with alarmist propaganda of the last two decades is that they can only cry wolf so many times before the public begins to doubt the story. | 6 |
I think if he were to see the science as it is, then he would understand that it is more important to raise people out of poverty and give them that opportunity rather than fighting a mythical global warming crisis. | 6 |
And furthermore, the fact that they were preceded by the temperature changes means that the temperature changes are causing the CO2 changes and not the reverse. As oceans warm, they emit CO2, and as they cool they absorb it. Bubbles of CO2 are emitted from cold soda as it is poured into a warm glass, and soda is produc... | 2 |
Nobody wants it. The times, the mood, has changed. There is a zeitgeist […] people are questioning the science now and they are seeing that it is really dodgy actually, a lot of it, and people aren’t prepared to pay for it. | 5 |
The IPCC really is a sham because while it gives the impression of being a consensus of scientists, it is simply a political document prepared by advocacy scientists with a large ax to grind. | 6 |
What will happen when leaders like dictator Newsom of CA decides to turn off power in the name of climate change? | 6 |
We support urgent action to tackle the climate crisis through the Paris Climate Agreement and have been working to cut our carbon footprint since 2006. | 0 |
We need to keep in mind that this is about reducing emissions and not reducing production, | 0 |
Climate change is bs. It's made up propaganda. Models are bought and paid for by commies wanting to redistribute wealth. Rich get richer poor get poorer. | 6 |
I think there is a man-made impact on climate change; there is a scientific consensus that is the case, but there is no scientific consensus on how much human action impacts the climate, | 2 |
If man-made carbon dioxide concentrations in the earth’s atmosphere cause global warming, and these Russian scientists assert that the in the earth’s atmosphere has increased by 4 percent, but global warming has practically stopped. Then there is clearly zero correlation between and global warming. | 5 |
