“No matter if the science [of global warming] is all phony . . . climate change [provides] the greatest opportunity to bring about justice and equality in the world.” —Christine Stewart, Canadian Minister of the Environment, Calgary Herald, 1998 (Chretien was PM)
“I gave a talk recently (on fallacies of global warming) and three members of the Canadian government, the environmental cabinet, came up afterwards and said, ‘We agree with you, but it’s not worth our jobs to say anything.’ So, what’s being created is a huge industry with billions of dollars of government money and people’s jobs dependent on it.” – Dr. Tim Ball, Coast-to-Coast, 2007 (Harper was PM)
The negative effect of global warming is political. The policies enacted for the movement are intended to accommodate an industry estimated to be worth $40b. Nothing will change with Carney. The new cabinet is filled with climate extremists who should welcome a warming planet. The Earth’s climate has swung back and forth between a greehnouse gas phase and a glacial one since the planet came to exist. Large-scale industrialization, and its ‘contaminant’ emissions, has come to be just in the last 150 or so years. If industry was such a large threat, why has the average lifespan of most living things grown exponentially during this period?
As the earth warms more carbon dioxide is created naturally which in return allows vegetation to flourish. If this was not the case, why would greenhouses increase CO2 levels to over 1000ppm to increase the growth and quality of their products? Today’s 440ppm of carbon in the atmosphere should be welcomed rather than feared since anything below 200ppm and the earth begins to fall apart. The average ppm over the last half-billion years has been over 2000 and it was these periods that produced the largest forms of life. Clearly today too little CO2 is the issue, not more.
Over the last four decades, the Earth has seen an increase in foliage around the planet. The greening represents an area two times the continental United States. Data from NASA satellites shows that China and India are leading the increase in greening on land. While the effect stems largely from ambitious tree planting programs (which the Liberals promised to do but never delivered on) and increased agriculture in both countries, this is only possible because of a warming planet. Farmers are producing enough food to supply the whole world meaning starvation should no longer be an issue. In fact, most countries have an obesity problem. The fact is there is no excuse for anyone anywhere to go hungry, other than politics.
It becomes tiring listening to the Greens continuingly blaming environmental changes on fossil fuels. Once the supply chain is factored in, renewable energy produces just as many emissions as the natural gas plants they depend on for backup. With recent NG discoveries throughout Africa the world has roughly 300 years’ worth of reserves. The truth is that NG will be one of the cheapest forms of energy for at least the rest of this century. The price will most likely trade between $1.50 and $3.50 and means NG demand can only get bigger. Furthermore, switching from fossil fuels will make no change to GHG levels. Covid shutdowns proved this when ghg’s continued to increase while most of the industrialized economies were on lockdown.
Coal is the dirtiest form of energy. It supplies over forty percent of the world’s electricity, is used in 78 nations, and more countries are expected to join the list. Coal can very easily be replaced by clean natural gas. If the Climate Clan was legit, they would pressure coal lovers such as China, India, and the U.S. to clean up their act. But they won’t. They would prefer to create a state of emergency over a gas that is responsible for the creation of oxygen. They use fear as a way of raising money for themselves. If they really cared about the environment, they should be forcing the world’s dependence on coal out by pushing natural gas. But this will never happen because there is too much at stake. Just ask Carney.
Canada must hope the Liberals tone down their climate extremism. We will be left in the dust unless we start to take advantage of our fossil fuels. While trying to destroy the market, Carney offers no cheap non-intermittent options. If he succeeds in shutting down our fossil fuel industry Canada will quickly become a third world country because those African countries with their new NG finds are there trying their hardest to fill the demand. They know it will help bring them out of poverty. Meanwhile, we already have all the infrastructure in place to satisfy demand, but our government wants to destroy this opportunity at the expense of the middle class. It makes no sense. Natural Gas is the avenue for future prosperity for all of Canada. Ignoring this is a fast trip to the poor house.
The following is a quote from the ex-professional Greenpeace protester and former Minister of Climate Change who is still chirping about pipelines even though he is now the Minister of Canadian Culture.
“The Canadian energy regulator, as well as the International Energy Agency, are telling us that probably by 2028, 2029, demand for oil will peak globally and it will also peak in Canada,”
…Steven Guilbeault, May 14. 2025 (Not surprising, Carney is PM)
He believed peak oil was in the 1990’s. Today, Suncor continues to break production records. I don’t know about you, but I do not a want a moron like this (or any current Liberal), to dictate, let alone represent, my identity as a Canadian. Sorry Canada! You get what you vote for.
