Radical Environmentalism Damages Economies and Lives – May 28, 2012

The Biggest Carbon Bomb is Disinformation – April 2, 2012

Environment Canada Needs to Get Back to Basics – March 16, 2012

Meet the Former Bay Streeter Leading Tory Charge Against Oil-Sands Opponents – March 9, 2012
Joe Oliver has assumed the mantle as the Defender of the Oil Sands, a role he is clearly relishing. The fourth natural resources minister to serve under Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Mr. Oliver has more than any of his predecessors taken up the cudgels for Alberta oil producers who face a concerted, international campaign to shut down their aggressive expansion plans.
Corrupt Official Climate Science Causes Uninformed Northern Gateway and Keystone Pipeline Protests – March 7, 2012
Tim Ball writes that much of the opposition to oil sands development and pipeline construction is based on incorrect beliefs about the relationship between CO2 emissions and climate change.
Oil Sands Environmental Realities and the Nature of Things – March 7, 2012
Three University of Alberta professors demonstrate successful oil sands environmental management and restoration methods to an impatient and sceptical public who do not appreciate that nature works in decades, not years, and will successfully reclaim itself to a large extent. They show how humans are enhancing and speeding up the process, and applying hi-tech innovations to avian monitoring and protection.
Concerned Scientists Reply on Global Warming – March 5, 2012
The interest generated by our Wall Street Journal op-ed of Jan. 27, "No Need to Panic about Global Warming," is gratifying but so extensive that we will limit our response to the letter to the editor the Journal published on Feb. 1, 2012 by Kevin Trenberth and 37 other signatories, and to the Feb. 6 letter by Robert Byer, President of the American Physical Society. (We, of course, thank the writers of supportive letters.)
Media Release - Case Studies in Pricing-Based Carbon Controls – February 29, 2012

Cleaner Air, the Right Way – February 27, 2012
Environment Canada is mistaken to think that "Canadians will directly benefit from cleaner air in their communities" due to the proposed greenhouse regulations for coalfired electricity generation stations.
City Can’t Be Its Own Watchdog – January 9, 2012
Recent sewage spills into the Red River could have been prevented if the utility was privately-owned as it would have actually faced fines, instead of a slap on the wrist.

The Canadian Government’s decision to formally withdraw from the Kyoto Protocol is an important victory for common sense and one we hope all Canadians will applaud,” said Tom Harris, executive director of ICSC which is headquartered in Ottawa, Canada.

Bias and Exploitation of Bias About Environment and Climate In Schools – November 22, 2011
Climate change advocates are penetrating the school systems without having to present a balanced view.
Scientific Case for Man-Made Global Warming Fears is Dead – October 27, 2011
Many of the proponents of man-made global warming are now claiming that climate change is worse than they predicted. According to an Oct. 18, 2011, Daily Climate article, global warming activists claim that the "evidence builds that scientists underplay climate impacts," and "if anything, global climate disruption is likely to be significantly worse than has been suggested."
How About a Green Tea Party? – September 28, 2011
As the presidential campaign heats up, it would be nice to see some environmental leadership. Unfortunately, neither political party is providing it. Democrats keep throwing money and regulations at environmental problems, and Republicans keep arguing that a focus on jobs and the economy must trump environmental protection.
What’s So weird About the Weather? – August 27, 2011
Contrary to official temperature records, observational evidence from around the world indicates that we are in a period of cooling almost certainly caused by solar changes. This is expected to continue and deepen and poses the real threat to Prairie and Canadian agriculture, most of which is confined to a narrow strip along our southern border. Fifty percent of crops in Manitoba cannot be grown with a 0.5°C overall temperature drop and much of Canadian agriculture is eliminated entirely by a 1°C cooling.
Why I Love 'Big Oil' – July 19, 2011
The idea of big oil companies as evil wrong-doers that will destroy anything standing in their way to make profits is pretty widespread and, yet, completely wrong. In fact, producing oil is not just about pumping, drilling and selling, it is one of the most amazing ventures that mankind has undertaken in contemporary history.
Bipole Project Needs to Be Front and Centre – July 15, 2011
The upcoming Manitoba election is a perfect opportunity to answer unresolved questions surrounding the Bipole III project, including why the government is opting for a longer, costlier route.
Paying For Unused Advice – July 6, 2011
Oh, politicians say their decisions are informed by science but that's a fairy tale they tell sleepy children and reporters. In reality, politicians cite science when it supports decisions they want to make anyway, for other reasons, whether ideological or political. When science does not support their decisions, they ignore it.
The Recycling Myth – July 4, 2011
As a Swede I get to hear a lot of the myths of how wonderful a country Sweden supposedly is — the "prosperous socialism" it stands for, a role model for the rest of the world. For instance, quite a few friends from around the world have commended me on Swedish recycling polices and the Swedish government's take on coercive environmentalism.
