Anything With a Changing Title Can Only Be a Scam

But don't take my word for it:

On June 17, the House of Commons passed a motion declaring a National Climate Emergency.

Firstly, there is no such thing as a “national” climate emergency. Climate change is global, not national, and Canada’s contribution to global CO2 emissions is a minuscule 1.6 per cent. Here are the answers to some questions that will help you assess whether there’s really a “climate emergency.”

Apocalyptic projections of rapid sea level rises are driving municipal and provincial governments on both our east and west coasts to implement “sea level rise plans” that include sterilizing waterfront from development, building sea barriers and even buying out and destroying homes that are deemed vulnerable. So just how fast are sea levels rising? Here again the NOAA provides the answer. Despite all the calamitous rhetoric, the NOAA states that sea levels “continue to rise at the rate of about one-eighth of an inch (3.2 mm) per year.” At that rate, a house built 10 feet above sea level today would still be 9 feet 7 inches above sea level 40 years from now.

Everything that Desrochers and Reed cautions can go wrong with wind and solar power went wrong in Ontario under the 15-year regime of the Dalton McGuinty and Kathleen Wynne Liberal governments.

They ignored advice from their own experts that they didn’t have to raise prices for wind and solar power as high as they did to achieve the government’s goals.

They made the energy grid less efficient when they demanded wind and solar power had to be purchased first, ahead of other energy sources.

This resulted in absurdities like dumping green hydroelectric power in favour of wind and solar, or paying wind and solar developers to not produce electricity.

They failed to appreciate that wind and solar have to be backed up by more reliable forms of energy, because they can’t provide base load power to the grid on demand, since the wind doesn’t always blow and the sun doesn’t always shine.

In Ontario, the Liberals opted for natural gas — a fossil fuel — for this purpose, ironically culminating in their gas plants scandal, which cost the public $1 billion and led to the jailing of a top government aide for illegally destroying records.
