Out of the 40,000 delegates from nearly 200 countries who attended the November United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, very few were indigenous leaders and activists, many of whom are experts at conservation and regeneration.
Yeah right.
When Dave Phillips, Environment Canada’s senior climatologist, began 26 years ago compiling his annual list of the country’s Top 10 weather events, he sometimes had to stretch a bit.
“One of the big stories was, ‘Hey, it was a good recreation season, skiers loved it,”‘ he recalls.
Searching for weather events was not a problem in 2021.
“This year was beyond belief. There’s no year in the 26 years that could compare to this year.”
That’s Canada’s legislated climate goal, in order for the country to do its part in limiting global warming to 1.5 C and avoid the catastrophic impacts of runaway climate change.
The Biden administration released an ambitious federal strategy Monday to build 500,000 charging stations for electric vehicles across the country and bring down the cost of electric cars with the goal of transforming the U.S. auto industry.
Where does the electricity come from? Unicorns?
Nova Scotians have made many sacrifices for the COVID-19 pandemic, but environmental experts say it is now time for them to make sacrifices for the climate crisis as well.
There is no climate emergency. This much is apparent to anyone who is paying attention. Even members of Calgary city council who voted in favour of declaring a climate emergency in the city acknowledge that is was a symbolic declaration. They are right — as far as helping the environment in any meaningful way, this declaration is empty virtue signalling. Phony virtue is not all this emergency declaration signals, however — it is abundantly clear that progressive politicians want us living in a perpetual state of fear so that they can do what they wish and seize more power. We are jumping from one emergency to the next.
The incoming coalition, made up of Social Democrats, Greens and center-right Free Democrats, has agreed to set up a “super ministry” to push a climate agenda. “A new ‘super’ Climate and Economy Ministry, to be headed by Habeck, is to provide the bureaucratic muscle to implement the ambitious measures,” the German broadcaster added.
By putting the economy under the purview of the ‘super climate ministry,’ Berlin is sending the signal that globalist climate agenda comes before jobs or the nation’s economic wellbeing.
When folks believe it is justifiable to break some laws, it is not much of a stretch for them to think violence against infrastructure, or people, is also justified.
BBC News carried two articles last week denigrating and demonising the critics of climate-change alarmism.
The first was by Marianna Spring, the BBC’s ‘specialist disinformation reporter’. She asserted that criticism of environmentalism was being fuelled by right-wing conspiracy theorists who had switched ‘from Covid denial to climate denial’. And the second came from reporters Rachel Schraer and Kayleen Devlin, who are both part of the BBC’s ‘Reality Check’ team of fact-checkers. They claimed to have exposed ‘the truth behind the new climate-change denial’. Both articles are travesties of journalism.
Heavy rains that flooded both the East and West coasts of Canada are drawing attention to how ill prepared most of this country is for the extreme weather that comes with a changing climate.
The past couple of years have provided many examples of extreme weather events that, according to scientists, were exacerbated by climate change.
These events, which used to be featured in the back pages of newspapers or during the final moments of newscasts, are now in Canada. British Columbians endured an extreme heat wave in July, which has been followed this month by heavy rainfall and severe flooding.
Suzuki’s comments made a stir on social media. Many commentators suggested that Suzuki was ostensibly accepting violence and even encouraging it.

House Democrats voted Friday to pass the so-called “Build Back Better” plan, a multi-trillion-dollar welfare and climate change spending bill. They’re heralding it as a major accomplishment that will uplift struggling Americans and revitalize the economy. So, let’s review all the reasons it’s an utterly terrible piece of legislation.
A chief climate advisor to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tweeted on Thursday for lobbyists not to contact her if they’re not willing to take climate action and that Canada was not “going fast enough” to address climate change.
On October 20, 2021, Senator Matthew Canavan observed that despite Trudeau’s net-zero approach, Canada’s emissions have gone up while he was in power.
