Why There’s Nothing New About Climate Change (Winnipeg)(Except “over the top” politics) Guest Speaker: Tim Ball, Historical Climatologist 
Science advances by creating theories based on assumptions, and scientists are skeptics who test the theory by seeking evidence. In the case of global warming, the theory became “fact” before any testing occurred, primarily because it fit environmental and political agendas. As Dr Richard Lindzen of MIT says, “The consensus was reached before the research had even begun.” Scientists who dare to challenge this are marginalized and labelled as “deniers.” Despite that, research contravenes conventional assumptions that CO² and humans cause climate change. 
Global warming and climate change are among the most serious misdirectionsof science for political purposes in human history. Large segments of society are being bullied into tacit acceptance of the Kyoto Accords or into silence by a very vocal minority. Do we have pollution problems? Yes, but CO² is not a pollutant and claims that it is distract us from setting proper priorities. Only if we calm environmental hysteria can we come up with workable, sustainable policies to achieve clean air and water. Professor Ball’s 2004 Global Warming Frontier lecture was an entertaining and informative hit. Join us for an update on the world’s most politicized policy file. Seating is limited and the price includes lunch.
