Advocates for 1.5°C Warming Target Ignore Climate Science

Commentary On its first day in office, the Biden administration canceled the Keystone XL pipeline and in April hosted the “Leaders Summit on Climate,” a gathering of presidents, prime ministers, and other leaders to discuss climate policy.

Climate ‘Scare Story’ Began With Far-Left Ideology: Greenpeace Co-Founder

Patrick Moore was only 24 when he co-founded Greenpeace in the early 1970s. He soon became the driving force behind the environmental activist group’s many influential campaigns, such as to stop nuclear testing, protect endangered whales, and prevent toxic dumping. “It began in 1971 with the first voyage to stop U.S. hydrogen bomb testing in Alaska,…


It’s a Border Crisis, Not a Climate Crisis

Commentary Is there anything the left won’t blame on their fantastical scapegoat, climate change? Don’t bet on it.

Climate Change Crusade Not Based on Reputable Science

I was glad to see the article “BC Heat Wave Caused by Natural Climate Variability, Not Global Warming: Extreme Weather Expert,” published on July 7, about extreme weather citing former Environment Canada research scientist Dr. Madhav Khandekar. The climate scare is not based on reputable science or observational evidence about what is happening in the…


BC Heat Wave Caused by Natural Climate Variability, Not Global Warming: Extreme Weather Expert

As the intense heat wave in the western provinces eases its grip, a former Environment Canada research scientist says that this weather event, while unusual, was caused by natural climate variability and is comparable to heat waves that occurred in the 1920s and ’30s. “This heat wave was exceptional, but it does not indicate any…
