Looking For a Better Way to Sell the Keystone Pipeline – March 19, 2013
Governments and industry must change their marketing of the Keystone XL pipeline to address the single reason the project may not be approved—climate change.
Political Potshots won’t clean up Lake Winnipeg – February 13, 2013
A recent announcement that Lake Winnipeg is in the running for a threatened lake designation should focus our attention on finding incentive-based solutions.
Obama’s Path Toward Energy Poverty – February 4, 2013
In his recent inaugural address, President Barack Obama promoted the use of the least reliable and most expensive sources of energy: wind and solar power. He notes that the transition to these energy sources would be difficult, but he also presented the move as having economic benefits that would support the country’s energy independence. In reality, such a transition would ruin the country’s economy.
2012 Probably Not the Warmest Year in America – January 14, 2013
The National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) reported that 2012 was the warmest year on record. However, the NCDC is not to be trusted because of its poor methodology and damaged reputation.
No, Secretary General, developed nations did not cause global warming – December 13, 2012
United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon is misinformed when he states that developed countries have caused global warming and must bear the responsibility. Experts had written him a letter stating that there has been no overall warming or cooling of the planet for about 16 years and that the science is unclear on whether, when and how atmospheric warming will resume.
Christiana's Nightmare – For the Rest of Us – December 7, 2012
Talk about alignment of the stars! Barack Obama based his 2008 presidential campaign on the principle of “sharing the wealth.” He won, got reelected and now has, at least in his own mind, a flat-out mandate to extend his vision for wealth redistribution (and wealth destruction) planet-wide.
Environmentalist Power Trips Harm Poor Countries – December 6, 2012
The real danger is treaties, laws, regulations and taxes imposed in the name of preventing global-warming catastrophes that exist only in computer models, horror movies and environmentalist press releases. These political schemes will exacerbate and perpetuate poverty, disease, unemployment and economic stagnation. That is neither just nor sustainable.
Biodiversity: The Next Environmental Deception – November 3, 2012
Tim Ball argues that alarmists exaggerate the severity of global species extinction.
Canadian Government Claims Credit for Fixing a Non-Existent Problem – September 25, 2012
Environment Minister Peter Kent and other politicians boost the Montreal Protocol as a triumph because of the recovery in the ozone layer, but there was no problem with the ozone layer in the first place.
Rethinking Stephen Harper’s Climate Strategy (Part One) – July 25, 2012
Tom Harris shows that proposed successor treaties to the Kyoto Accord share many of Kyoto’s flaws, and that Canada should withdraw from the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.
Rethinking Stephen Harper’s Climate Strategy (Part Two) – July 25, 2012
Tom Harris argues that the Canadian government should stop promoting climate change alarmism.
Oil Sands Development Is Not A “Historic Mistake” – July 11, 2012
Ben Eisen and Eric Merkley show that oil sands development is an important economic opportunity contrary to the comments of EU clean energy advisor Jeremy Rifkin.
Thomas Mulcair Leads the Carbon War Room Charge – June 4, 2012
Thomas Mulcair may be an unwitting puppet for foreign interests that trace their roots back to TIDES Canada ‘charities’ and foreign manipulation of Canadian elections, resource development and socio-economic policy – all driven by unelected, unaccountable green ideologues.
Radical Environmentalism Damages Economies and Lives – May 28, 2012
The radical green agenda failed long ago. Its damage to environment, economies, education and people’s lives has been enormous.
A Decade of Evidence against Catastrophic Global Warming – May 18, 2012
Unelected, unaccountable environmentalists and main stream media continue to propagate the myth of Catastrophic Human-Caused/Anthropogenic Global Warming despite a decade of evidence that runs contrary to all the predictions and computer simulations of the global warming crowd.
Re - 'Wildrose Proves Too Wild', April 25 – May 3, 2012
"Danielle Smith’s statement that "the science isn't settled" on climate change was correct—scientifically. It should have been correct politically as well since it is a centrist position, respecting people on both sides of the very real and intense debate about the causes of climate change."
The Biggest Carbon Bomb is Disinformation – April 2, 2012
The the biggest ‘carbon bomb’ is disinformation. And look out if you publicly disagree with AGW! SLAPP suit coming your way to silence you – Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation.
Environment Canada Needs to Get Back to Basics – March 16, 2012
Because good science relies on good data, Environment Canada needs to focus their efforts on data collection rather than politically motivated research.
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.
