Trudeau lacks depth and clarity and he makes bad policy choices about economics and climate change. Global warming science is not settled and there is no evidence of a climate crisis from runaway higher temperatures. Canada is a very cold country and if there were more global warming this would be a benefit. Trudeau wants to stop more warming and this it plain stupid in light of the shoddy science demonizing minute amounts of CO2 plant food at the same time the weather is record colder and destructive.Kenney wants swift approval from Trudeau for Teck Frontier oilsands mineBY BILL GRAVELAND THE CANADIAN PRESSPosted January 27, 2020 3:00 pm Lloyd RyanTrudeau will kill this project and then send out his Deputy Dawg PM to placate Albertan's with platitudes and "There, there now.

July 201990 Leading Italian Scientists Sign Petition: CO2 Impact On Climate “UNJUSTIFIABLY EXAGGERATED” … Catastrophic Predictions “NOT REALISTIC”In 1517, a 33-year-old theology professor at Wittenberg University walked over to the Castle Church in Wittenberg and nailed a paper of 95 theses to the door, hoping to spark an academic discussion about their contents. Source. The same is happening today in Italy concerning climate science as dogma.90 Italian scientists sign petition addressed to Italian leadersTo the President of the RepublicTo the President of the SenateTo the President of the Chamber of DeputiesTo the President of the CouncilPETITION ON GLOBAL ANTHROPGENIC HEATING (Anthropogenic Global Warming, human-caused global warming)The undersigned, citizens and scientists, send a warm invitation to political leaders to adopt environmental protection policies consistent with scientific knowledge.In particular, it is urgent to combat pollution where it occurs, according to the indications of the best science. In this regard, the delay with which the wealth of knowledge made available by the world of research is used to reduce the anthropogenic pollutant emissions widely present in both continental and marine environmental systems is deplorable.But we must be aware that CARBON DIOXIDE IS ITSELF NOT A POLLUTANT. On the contrary, it is indispensable for life on our planet.In recent decades, a thesis has spread that the heating of the Earth’s surface of around 0.9°C observed from 1850 onwards would be anomalous and caused exclusively by human activities, in particular by the emission of CO2 from the use of fossil fuels in the atmosphere.This is the thesis of anthropogenic global warming [Anthropogenic Global Warming] promoted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) of the United Nations, whose consequences would be environmental changes so serious as to fear enormous damage in an imminent future, unless drastic and costly mitigation measures are immediately adopted.In this regard, many nations of the world have joined programs to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and are pressured by a intense propaganda to adopt increasingly burdensome programs whose implementation involves heavy burdens on the economies of the individual member states and depend on climate control and, therefore, the “rescue” of the planet.However, the anthropogenic origin of global warming IS AN UNPROVEN HYPOTHESIS, deduced only from some climate models, that is complex computer programs, called General Circulation Models .On the contrary, the scientific literature has increasingly highlighted the existence of a natural climatic variability that the models are not able to reproduce.This natural variability explains a substantial part of global warming observed since 1850.The anthropogenic responsibility for climate change observed in the last century is therefore UNJUSTIFIABLY EXAGGERATED and catastrophic predictions ARE NOT REALISTIC.The climate is the most complex system on our planet, so it needs to be addressed with methods that are adequate and consistent with its level of complexity.Climate simulation models do not reproduce the observed natural variability of the climate and, in particular, do not reconstruct the warm periods of the last 10,000 years. These were repeated about every thousand years and include the well-known Medieval Warm Period , the Hot Roman Period, and generally warm periods during the Optimal Holocene period.These PERIODS OF THE PAST HAVE ALSO BEEN WARMER THAN THE PRESENT PERIOD, despite the CO2 concentration being lower than the current, while they are related to the millennial cycles of solar activity. These effects are not reproduced by the models.It should be remembered that the heating observed since 1900 has actually started in the 1700s, i.e. at the minimum of the Little Ice Age , the coldest period of the last 10,000 years (corresponding to the millennial minimum of solar activity that astrophysicists call Maunder Minimal Solar ). Since then, solar activity, following its millennial cycle, has increased by heating the earth’s surface.Furthermore, the models fail to reproduce the known climatic oscillations of about 60 years.These were responsible, for example, for a warming period (1850-1880) followed by a cooling period (1880-1910), a heating (1910-40), a cooling (1940-70) and a a new warming period (1970-2000) similar to that observed 60 years earlier.The following years (2000-2019) saw the increase not predicted by the models of about 0.2 ° C [two one-hundredths of a degree]per decade, but a substantial climatic stability that was sporadically interrupted by the rapid natural oscillations of the equatorial Pacific ocean, known as the El Nino Southern Oscillations , like the one that led to temporary warming between 2015 and 2016.The media also claim that extreme events, such as hurricanes and cyclones, have increased alarmingly. Conversely, these events, like many climate systems, have been modulated since the aforementioned 60-year cycle.For example, if we consider the official data from 1880 on tropical Atlantic cyclones that hit North America, they appear to have a strong 60-year oscillation, correlated with the Atlantic Ocean’s thermal oscillation called Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation .The peaks observed per decade are compatible with each other in the years 1880-90, 1940-50 and 1995-2005. From 2005 to 2015 the number of cyclones decreased precisely following the aforementioned cycle. Thus, in the period 1880-2015, between number of cyclones (which oscillates) and CO2 (which increases monotonically) there is no correlation.The climate system is not yet sufficiently understood. Although it is true that CO2 is a greenhouse gas, according to the IPCC itself the climate sensitivity to its increase in the atmosphere is still extremely uncertain.It is estimated that a doubling of the concentration of atmospheric CO2, from around 300 ppm pre-industrial to 600 ppm, can raise the average temperature of the planet from a minimum of 1° C to a maximum of 5° C.This uncertainty is enormous.In any case, many recent studies based on experimental data estimate that the climate sensitivity to CO2 is CONSIDERABLY LOWER than that estimated by the IPCC models.Then, it is scientifically unrealistic to attribute to humans the responsibility for warming observed from the past century to today. The advanced alarmist forecasts, therefore, are not credible, since they are based on models whose results contradict the experimental data.All the evidence suggests that these MODELS OVERESTIMATE the anthropogenic contribution and underestimate the natural climatic variability, especially that induced by the sun, the moon, and ocean oscillations.Finally, the media release the message according to which, with regard to the human cause of current climate change, there would be an almost unanimous consensus among scientists that the scientific debate would be closed.However, first of all we must be aware that the scientific method dictates that the facts, and not the number of adherents, make a conjecture a consolidated scientific theory .In any case, the same alleged consensus DOES NOT EXIST. In fact, there is a remarkable variability of opinions among specialists – climatologists, meteorologists, geologists, geophysicists, astrophysicists – many of whom recognize an important natural contribution to global warming observed from the pre-industrial period and even from the post-war period to today.There have also been petitions signed by thousands of scientists who have expressed dissent with the conjecture of anthropogenic global warming.These include the one promoted in 2007 by the physicist F. Seitz, former president of the American National Academy of Sciences, and the one promoted by the Non-governmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC), whose 2009 report concludes that “Nature, not the activity of Man governs the climate”.In conclusion, given the CRUCIAL IMPORTANCE THAT FOSSIL FUELS have for the energy supply of humanity, we suggest that they should not adhere to policies of uncritically reducing carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere with THE ILLUSORY PRETENSE OF CONTROLLING THE CLIMATE.http://www.opinione.it/…/redazione_riscaldamento-globale-…/…PROMOTING COMMITTEE:1.

It has been five days since St. John’s first declared a state of emergency after a monster blizzard gusting up to 170 km/h dumped more than six feet of snow on the city in a day. Civilization has ground to a halt under snow drifts 12 feet deep. Snowmobiles blast through uncleared city streets and Holloway Street has been turned into the island’s sickest ski jump.

They also add:“No, record cold & snow IS NOT made ‘more likely in a warming world.’ In fact, the IPCC’s line—until not that long ago—was that ‘milder winter temperatures will decrease heavy snowstorms.'”Solar activity suspectedIt’s not the sort of thing we are supposed to be expecting from a “warming planet”.

But, the effects of snow on our climate and weather last long after the storm has passed. Due to snows reflective properties, its presence or absence influences patterns of heating and cooling over Earth’s surface more than any other single land surface feature.CLIMATE models from the 1970s have consistently predicted that CO2-induced global warming climate change should be causing a significant decline in total snow cover. However, Global snow cover has actually increased since at least the start of the record (Connolly et al, 2019), leading to some scepticism within the scientific community about the validity of the climate models.”For example, Trudeau would be advised to listen to this petition by 90 leading Italian scientists explaining why there is no ‘climate crisis’ for government action.Rex Murphy: The PM has changed his look. But it's a policy change that's neededThe No. 1 priority now is not global warming. It is national cohesion. To repair the rift within Confederation, the Liberals must nullify what has been the central component of their public policy to dateREX MURPHYJanuary 28, 2020The weight of external events, some pathetically trivial, some potentially or already quite grave — Harry and Meghan, the coronavirus, the impeachment tap dance, the Iranian crisis — has pushed many of our own Canadian concerns to the back page for a while.The October election gave us a divided result and especially demonstrated that there is a huge fracture between the sentiments and politics of West and East. Alberta and Saskatchewan almost set up a blockade against the Liberals. The rest of the country — I’m being very general here — gave Justin Trudeau’s shaken leadership a tepid second chance. He’s still there as PM, but not with the élan that greeted his first term by any means. I am determined not to offer observations of any kind on the new beard, but I will note that there has been a change in his presence and manner since the election.There is less energy in his public persona, and there was a notable “stay away” period after the vote. (I’m not picking on the vacations, just noting that after so key an election, and with all its attendant issues, he seemed to almost completely remove himself for an extended period.)There was a notable “stay away” period after the voteDid the trimming to a minority shake the prime minister’s confidence? Did it impose a serious introspection on the ideas and approach of his first term? The bubbly, cheery, spotlight-seeking and superficial “sunny days” of Term 1 are certainly not the mode, so far, of Term 2. We are seeing a much more subdued Mr. Trudeau, though to leap to “chastened” would be a stretch.Does this signal a revision, a rethinking, of how best to achieve genuine engagement with the country? Does it mean an abandonment of the glib route of the PM-centric, photo-flashing, image-before-all politics that so enveloped his first term? Selfies are so 2015.Selfies are so 2015Or did this more demure, dare one say “reserved” Justin Trudeau, spring from the natural despondency of receiving a much reduced vote, and awakening to the prospect of leading in a minority, which imposes restraints that up to now he has not experienced? His whole career in politics up to this point had been a glittering glide. The family name, the celebrity “it” factor which he has — or had — in spades, arriving in leadership at a time when the Conservative leader, Stephen Harper, had already had a long run; ordinary politicians work a lifetime for what Justin Trudeau harvested, with ease, in a few years and in his own time of choosing.Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland prepare to speak to Liberal caucus members on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Jan. 23, 2020. Adrian Wyld/The Canadian PressAside from public demeanour there are objective signs that this is a more serious period for the prime minister. He has placed Chrystia Freeland as deputy PM, but looking at the menu of responsibilities she has been charged with — and her own increasing visibility on matters of widest concern — she appears to be more a co-PM than a deputy. Though it is still very early days, other ministers are taking the spotlight with more frequency as well. All of which may be evidence that Liberals (more quietly than the Conservatives, obviously) have taken the results to heart, perhaps have recommended some changes to the leadership and the primacy of the PMO, both stylistically and structurally.However the central question for the Liberals revolves around neither style nor even structural change. It’s policy. Particularly policy that has driven a political wedge through the Confederation and left some provinces deeply estranged and driven to rethink or attempt to rebalance the political forces of the country. The divisions that are now apparent all flow from the Trudeau government’s obsession with global warming, holding it as its commanding priority, fussing about being world leaders in the “fight against climate change.” All of this is delusion and manifestly so. Whatever your view of this problem is, it will not be solved, stopped or significantly influenced by what Canada does. India, China, America, the oil states, that is where the problem — if problem it is — lies.Alberta separatists rally outside the Alberta Legislature in Edmonton on Jan. 11, 2020. Ed Kaiser/Postmedia NewsBut the pursuit of this quixotic endeavour has meant fascination with global warming has brought to the provinces of Canada the dubious boon of carbon taxes and an extremely ambiguous, if not overtly hostile attitude, towards the country’s key industry.It is attended by a refusal to take the real measure of the damage done to all resource industries — agriculture, forestry, mining as well as oil — by the championing of international priorities at the expense of jobs, investment and “middle-class prosperity” here at home, and particularly in Alberta and Saskatchewan. The real shift the Liberals have to make is to abandon their political infatuation with global warming, and their untenable assertion that a Canadian government holds any real sway over it.As Lincoln put it, a house divided against itself cannot standThe No. 1 priority for Canada now is not global warming. It is national cohesion. To repair the rift within Confederation, the Liberals have to remove, nullify what has been the central component of their public policy to date. They have to change the songbook, lay down the hymnals to climate change.As Lincoln put it, a house divided against itself cannot stand. As an even more revered authority has noted, no man can serve two masters. And in the Canadian context, a national government cannot serve both Paris and Calgary. On one point are the environmentalists and myself in full concord. You cannot advance the energy industry in any way, and simultaneously maintain you are foremost a champion of climate change. The romance with an issue beyond Canada’s capacity to have any realistic impact on has had the direct cost of driving large parts of Canada’s West into ruminations of separation.Rex Murphy: The PM has changed his look. But it’s a policy change that’s neededWhile Trudeau is probably more popular than Trump not that it matters but what is so sad as bad a Trump is considered by Canadians under his leadership the US has done far more to reduce greenhouse gases.

The Teck Frontier project would be twice as large as the city of Vancouver. As provincial affairs reporter Tom Vernon explains, Premier Jason Kenney is pushing Ottawa for the green light.Alberta’s premier says Prime Minister Justin Trudeau needs to move swiftly to approve the Teck Frontier oilsands mine north of Fort McMurray.Jason Kenney says there is no reason to delay the go-ahead for the $20.6-billion project near Wood Buffalo National Park in northeastern Alberta.A federal-provincial review last summer determined Frontier would be in the public interest, even though it would be likely to harm the environment and the land, resources and culture of Indigenous people.“Their current deadline is the end of February for a decision … and I’ve been very clear to the prime minister … if they say no to this project, then they are signalling his earlier statement that he wants to phase out the oilsands,” Kenney said Monday.READ MORE: Teck Frontier project to challenge Trudeau’s climate policies, relationship to Alberta: expertTrudeau commented at a town-hall meeting in January 2017 that his government was attempting to balance economic and environmental concerns.STORY CONTINUES BELOW ADVERTISEMENT“We can’t shut down the oilsands tomorrow. We need to phase them out. We need to manage the transition off of our dependence on fossil fuels, but it’s going to take time, and, in the meantime, we have to manage that transition,” Trudeau said at the time.The Frontier mine north of Fort McMurray, Alta., would produce 260,000 barrels of oil a day and about four million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions every year, for more than 40 years.The federal government must make a decision on the project by the end of February under the Environmental Assessment Act.Kenney said it’s time that the federal Liberals start listening to the majority of First Nations leaders who support projects such as Teck, the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion and the Coastal GasLink pipeline in northeastern British Columbia.“I implore the federal government. If reconciliation means something, surely it means saying ‘yes’ to economic development for First Nations people.”TWEET THISKenney was speaking at an announcement of the new board of directors for the Alberta Indigenous Opportunities Corp. The Crown corporation plans to allocate up to $1 billion in support, such as loan guarantees, to qualified First Nations seeking an equity position in major resource projects.READ MORE: Demonstrators rally in support of — and against — Teck’s Frontier mine projectThe communities need to come up with $20 million for investment, but can receive support of up to $250 million.STORY CONTINUES BELOW ADVERTISEMENTKenney said the corporation could provide financial support to a group seeking to buy a stake in the $7.4-billion Trans Mountain project.“We continue to discuss this with the federal government,” he said. “The prime minister has expressed an interest in selling a stake to First Nations. If that future potential First Nations consortium comes forward to the (Alberta corporation) with an application, I’m sure it will be given serious consideration.”At least three different groups in British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan are seeking full or partial ownership of the pipeline, which carries crude oil from Alberta to the west coast.The federal government is studying the best options for Indigenous communities to reap economic benefits from the project, but Ottawa isn’t planning to sell the pipeline while legal and political risks remain.
