Climate Alarmism
A cabal of globalists has descended upon Ottawa to draft an international legally binding Plastics Treaty to force countries to track all plastics on the globe at all times throughout their lifecycle.
Set to be the biggest international agreement since the Paris Agreement of 2015, over 3,500 lobbyists, business tycoons, politicians, scientists, and environmental NGOs arrived at the Shaw Centre in Ottawa this morning for the biggest discussion on the Plastics Treaty since it was

Read MoreEvery wildfire in the province this year is suspected to be human-caused, according to Todd Loewen, Alberta’s Minister of Forestry and Parks. As announced Wednesday during Alberta’s weekly wildfire update, there are 63 fires that are actively burning in the province, with 172 already being extinguished this year.
“We expect that almost all of the wildfires we’ve experienced so far this year are human-caused, given the point we’re at in the season and the types of weather we’re seeing,” Minister Todd Loewen stated.
Loewen further warned Albertans to be alert for local fire bans and restrictions placed on their neighborhoods to reduce the high number of man-made wildfires.

According to a recent survey conducted by AutoTrader, respondents who did express interest in buying an EV for their next vehicle, primarily cited the high cost of fuel as their main motivator.
Other motivators include environmental friendline

Read MoreWales’s blanket 20mph speed limits will be dropped by September, the nation’s new Labour Transport Secretary has said. The Telegraph has more.
Local councils can start raising limits in six months’ time, Ken Skates told the devolved Senedd parliament on Tuesday.
“We all agree 20mph works really well where it matters most. Outside schools, hospitals, heavily built-up areas, where children are coming into contact with motorised vehicles,” he said.

Read MoreFurther scientific evidence has emerged to suggest that the Earth’s atmosphere is ‘saturated’ with carbon dioxide, meaning that at higher levels the ‘greenhouse’ gas will not cause temperatures to rise. A group of Polish scientists led by Dr. Jan Kubicki have published three papers recently, and according to the science site No Tricks Zone they summarise their evidence by noting that as a result of saturation, “emitted CO2 does not directly cause an increase in global temperature”. Current levels of CO2 in the atmosphere are around 418 parts per million (ppm) but the scientists state that past 400 ppm, “the CO2 concentration can no longer cause any increase in temperature”.

What began as a project to restore the natural ecosystem along the coast of the city just south of Tokyo has taken on national importance: helping fight climate change as Japan aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.

“So far what we said is that our position hasn’t changed, but we are saying that the Liberals’ plan is unfair,” Mr. Singh

Read MoreA bombshell new peer-reviewed study has provided conclusive scientific evidence proving that carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in Earth’s atmosphere cannot cause “global warming.”
Dr. Jan Kubicki led a group of world-renowned Polish scientists to study the impact of increases in CO2 emissions on the Earth’s global temperatures.
However, not only did they find that higher levels of CO2 made no difference, but they also proved that it simply isn’t possible for increases in carbon dioxide to cause temperatures to rise.
Kubicki and his team recently published three papers which all conclude that Earth’s atmosphere is already “saturated” with carbon dioxide.
This saturation means that, even at greatly increased levels of CO2, the “greenhouse gas” will not cause temperatures to rise.

Read MoreFactory farms collect billions in taxpayer handouts to install expensive manure digesters that capture and burn methane — and generate profits from the waste. But the systems don’t reduce greenhouse gas emissions — they just move the pollution around.
There has been much media hype about manure digesters and how they will “solve” climate change by capturing and burning methane from confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs) — aka factory farms.
Billions in taxpayer handouts and other incentives through pollution offset trading markets are encouraging factory farms to expand and profit from their waste stream.
Some economists now speculate that factory farms are earning more from making methane than milk!
My gut reaction 15 years ago to Vilsack’s manure digester panacea to global climate change remains true today — why pay to fix a problem that doesn’t even need to exist?
