ITS GALLING when Steven Guilbeault speaks to reports about the fires, and floods and blizzards and droughts and claims those are examples of GLOBAL WARMING/climate change…

Its not. Climate change is when trends over a significant period of time is seen in climate averages.

However any single event is just weather. Many things affect weather such as El Niño and La Niña.

This climate factor is directly attributed to this past years weather. How much CO2 Canada produces (~2% of world output) is insignificant to changes in weather and climate in Canada and the world. In fact increasing coal power plants in China has blown away our efforts.

Hammering our economy and its population over trying to drop our CO2 output by 0.3% of the world and at all costs makes little sense.


What is true is climate change happens. We may be on a 500 or 1000 or a 10000 year climate cycle. We may be on an up trend on an up sloping change or an up trend on a down sloping change in climate temperatures. We can’t know that because we are only using an extremely small period of geologic time to freak out about.

We also know for sure the earth is warming. Since the last ice age the earth has warmed. 13,000 years ago the Columbia Icefields extended to the Bow Valley Campground.

What scientists won’t say is what percentage of warming is natural versus manmade. They can’t. It’s impossible so just lead the world to believe it’s 100% manmade. Most believers says it all man caused.

A prudent government would be using surplus GDP to make Canada more resilient to a warming planet and at the same time protecting for cold snaps. We would stop encouraging people to build on flood plains, bottom of drained lakes (BC lol) and along rivers prone to flooding.

Then as a country… we have a ton of trees absorbing CO2 that should have maximum credits.
