@RogerPielkeJr Climate Emergency Scenario Officially Sidelined says Friends of Science in Open Letter to Canada's Banking Superintendent prnewswire.com/news-releases/…

U of T Economist Josef Steinberg responds 1. The US private sector is building data centers all over the place without gov't subsidies. Demand for compute is growing extremely rapidly. What is missing in Canada that makes data centers not viable investments on their own? 2. Why Telus? They have no experience in AI. @jbsteinberg

@RogerPielkeJr As early as 2015 a flood of papers described RCP8.5 as the “Business-As-Usual” scenario, and recommended it for planning. Here are scores of citations: fabiusmaximus.com/2015/11/05/vis…

🧵A few journalists have asked why the retirement of high end climate scenarios is a big deal Fair Q Here are the numbers: ➡️Retired reference scenario “very likely” = 5.7C in 2100 ➡️New “current policies” scenario = 2.7C in 2100 Note: New HIGH is _not_ a reference scenario

Der Weltklimarat zieht die Katastrophenszenarien mit einer Erwärmung von 3-5 Grad zurück und kommt in seinem wahrscheinlichsten Szenario auf eine Erwärmung von noch nur zusätzlich 1,1 Grad bis 2100. Deutschland mit einem CO2-Anteil von 1,45 % am Welt-CO2 trägt dann nur noch 0,0145 Grad zur Erwärmung bis 2100 bei. Wann gibt es eine Sondersitzung des Deutschen Bundestages, der die CO2-Abgabe, das Verbrennerverbot und das Heizungsgesetz kassiert?welt.de/mediathek/talk…

@FoodProfessor The Climate Emergency is Over! :) youtu.be/2H2rYTF-5ek

Climate alarmists have pushed apocalyptic narratives for years. Many NGOs and organizations have relied on fear to secure funding and public attention. It will likely take years before some climate zealots begin toning down their messaging to better reflect what the science is actually telling us. Climate change is real and serious, but increasingly, new research suggests it is manageable — not the end of the world.

@MarcNixon24 A warning from PPHB Energy Bankers in 2018...

Kate Harrison is BANG ON Oil and gas will not invest in Canada with all the regulations We’ve had 10 years of consultations and review Nothing has been built More consultations and review will not help

We're moving towards a colder climate, not a warmer one.

Many don't realize the debt crisis may come from the Middle East. This is why Iran is attacking UAE. During Covid, oil plummeted. The Gulf states borrowed. Once you get into debt, you can't get out. Worst yet, Iraq signed a deal with China. This is what China's been doing. They lend people the money. If you default, they take the asset. So China could legally take Iraq.

New Start, Alberta Canada: Evacuations have been ordered due to a wildfire burning in Woodlands County and near the town of Whitecourt. The fire is listed as “out of control” and is very active. People living east of Range Road 114 and south of Highway 43, including the West Ridge subdivision, are being asked to evacuate. Canada picking up in activity. Extreme Fire Danger has been forecast in southern Alberta today. 📷: Danielle Patriquin

Energy expert Dr. Lars Schernikau: It sounds simple… until you do the math. • 1 GWh battery = 700,000 tons of mined materials • Takes 450 GWh to build (450x its capacity) • Stores as much as 400 tons of coal Hours of storage. Massive mining, degradation & risks. This doesn’t fix intermittency, it multiplies the destruction. ‘Batteries are an environmental nightmare’.

Willie Soon: The IPCC’s Core Climate Metric Doesn’t Hold Up Willie Soon takes on one of the most important numbers in modern climate science: Earth Energy Imbalance, or EEI. In this presentation from the 16th International Conference on Climate Change, Soon argues that the IPCC’s confidence in EEI goes far beyond what current measurements can support. He traces the concept back to James Hansen’s 1985 work, examines the role of climate models, and questions whether satellite data, ocean heat content, Argo floats, solar irradiance measurements, and planetary albedo estimates can actually detect a signal as small as the one being claimed. Soon’s central argument is direct: Earth Energy Imbalance is treated as a measured quantity, but he says it is better understood as a model-anchored residual buried under major uncertainties. Topics include: •Satellite energy budget measurements •Ocean heat content and Argo float sampling •Total solar irradiance uncertainty •Planetary albedo and cloud variability •The IPCC’s use of adjusted data products •The “black cat in a dark room” metaphor for modern climate claims Watch Willie Soon’s full ICCC16 presentation from The Heartland Institute, and follow for more speeches from the 16th International Conference on Climate Change. youtu.be/-NW77XoIEno?si… via @YouTube

For years, millions of children were taught that climate catastrophe was inevitable. Worst-case scenarios like RCP8.5 were presented as the expected future — fueling fear, anxiety and hopelessness among young people worldwide. Now even the climate establishment admits that RCP8.5 was implausible. Scientific institutions must restore credibility. Media must stop amplifying climate fear. Schools must stop presenting extreme scenarios as certainty. Children deserve facts, not fear. #ClimateAnxiety #RCP85 #ClimateScience #EcoAnxiety #ClimateFear #Science #Education #ClimateCrisis

@endofthelake @FoodProfessor Here is our rebuttal report, written at the time. Climate Change Your Mind: Rebutting the Canadian Government’s Climate Report blog.friendsofscience.org/2019/05/01/cli…

@FoodProfessor @FriendsOScience Yes 🙌 acknowledged! Canada made decisions based on this report👇 changingclimate.ca/site/assets/up… In it th IPCC’s RCP models that have dominated climate research over the past 20 yrs specifically, RCP8.5, SSP5-8.5 and SSP3-7.0 are now gone Didn’t we borrow 7.5b$ to strike price carbon ?

Netanyahu Confirms: Communist China backs #1 State Sponsor of Terrorism Terrorists in Tehran who cause endless death and destruction are funded & supplied by the CCP. From Russia to Iran to Cuba & Venezuela, the CCP funds terrorists & chaos to overturn the Western world order.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz just called the EU a "complete failure" in front of global elites by stating, "Germany & Europe have wasted incredible potential. We have become the world champion of over-regulation & zero growth."

The Cost of Net Zero Electrification of the U.S.A. "This study finds that the battery costs for replacing all current fossil fuel fired electricity with wind and solar generated electricity, using 2020 electricity data, is 111 times that estimated by the Tanton report. The total capital cost of electrification is herein estimated, using 2020 data, at US$290 trillion, or 13.5 times the U.S.A. 2019 gross domestic product." blog.friendsofscience.org/2021/12/21/the…

What matters this week: the China-U.S. Summit, May 13–15. The U.S. economy is currently outperforming most major economies in the world, yet Canada seems to view that relationship as a weakness rather than a strategic advantage. Ok...
