Friends of Science Society has done a deconstruction of several of the most cited '97% consensus' studies, only to find there is no consensus. They're fooling you with group think. You can see how it works in this video of the Asch Conformity Experiment, introduced by psychologist Dr. Philip Zimbardo, which is referred to in the above presentation. https://youtu.be/NyDDyT1lDhA

On the same day that Greta Thunberg made an impassioned speech to the UN about her fears of a climate emergency, 500 scientists sent a registered letter to the UN Secretary-General stating that there is no climate emergency and climate policies should be designed to benefit the lives of people.

Ecojustice, a federally registered charity, has recently launched a legal challenge against the Alberta Inquiry into foreign-funded activity against the energy and resource sector, often referred to as the “Tar Sands Campaign.” According to a 2012 document from the CRA to Friends of Science Society, charities are not allowed to engage in political activity to change laws, but Ecojustice has been doing that since its inception. Michelle Stirling, Communications Manager for Friends of Science Society discusses correspondence with the CRA which indicates that ‘climate change’ is not a local, measurable or tangible cause, according to the CRA directive; nor do Ecojustice donors – some 19,000 individuals plus some family foundations funding Ecojustice are supposed to provide a ‘net benefit’ to Canada through this ‘charity’. But what is the ‘net benefit’ when they put over100,000 people out of work and crater the Albertan and Canadian economies with global reputational damage and billions of dollars in investment fleeing the country and province? So, the question must be asked about Ecojustice – “How is this charitable activity?”
The Tar Sands Campaign is well documented as a coordinated, foreign-funded effort to demarket the Alberta Oil Sands. Some references include: Corporate Ethics bragging about coordinating 100 groups against the oil sands: “Michael 'Marx' advised the International Tar Sands Oil Campaign, which included over 100 groups working in the U.S., Europe and Canada.” https://corpethics.org/about/ An overview with links to campaign documents: https://www.counterpunch.org/2013/10/16/how-tides-canada-controls-the-secret-north-american-tar-sands-coalition/ A document showing how Keystone XL was intentionally blocked by a coordinated campaign of ENGOs and certain First Nations groups: http://internationalfunders.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/IFIPConferenceReport2010.pdf.

Prior to the Climate Leadership Catastrophe event May 10, 2016 in Calgary, Ezra Levant talked with Michelle Stirling, Communications Manager for Friends of Science about the varying degrees of skepticism on the causes of climate change, policy, economics and mitigation. He noted that many people privately have skeptical views on one or all of these issues, but they fear speaking up because they feel alone. The more people who express their views, the more people will feel free to speak up. Speak up and speak out against paid 'climate catastrophy' lobbyists.

Professor Guus Berkhout, President of CLINTEL, the climate intelligence group out of the Netherlands, is challenging National Academies of Sciences, beginning with that of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences/KNAW where he is a member, to speak out against the flawed fundament of the Paris Agreement - namely, that 'the science is settled' on climate change. Dr. Berkhout has sent open letters to a number of key scientific organizations. CLINTEL has published a Scientific Manifesto of 10 propositions that should govern the process of scientific inquiry, especially on matters that have great public implications, like climate change policies. Climate change policies affect energy prices, integration and subsidies for renewables (which are 3 to 9 times the cost of conventional power), carbon taxes and various limitations or additional taxes/restrictions on public freedoms (i.e. flying, choice of electric or gas/diesel fueled vehicles, financing of mass public transit/limitation of vehicle access, etc). In this video, Michelle Stirling, Communications Manager for Friends of Science Society, discusses a few of the key points from the CLINTEL Scientific Manifesto, which is titled: "Audiator et Altera Pars" (Let Both Sides Be Heard), advocating for open debate and academic freedom which is based on evidence-based scientific rigor, rather than climate models (simulations), and for the separation of politics from science. Indeed, climate science has become so politicized, with demands for a state-run 'Green New Deal', one must consider the thought that climate policy may be a new form of Marxism.

The Sierra Club has posted an article claiming that people must stand up to the 'bullies' of the freedom convoy that is presently parked in downtown Ottawa. This is rather hypocritical of the Sierra Club, since they have a long track record of bullying energy projects, investors, banks, and even Friends of Science Society. In 2014, they objected to our billboard, so they published the names and emails of senior executives with our media provider, and incited their members and followers to harass them. People have expressed concerns about the convoy damaging our economy, and about foreign funding. When we examine the facts of the Tar Sands Campaign, Canada has lots billions...hundreds of billions of dollars in investment, and the Tar Sands Campaign groups were foreign-funded for hundreds of millions of dollars, according to the forensic audit by Deloitte for the Allan Inquiry. We have a short summary of those details on our blog. We hope the world can return to the days of open, civil debate on contentious matters - and we certainly hope we are not going to descend into an 'eco-dictatorship' has pushed for by Deutsche Bank.

Dr. Nir Shaviv, astrophysicist, explains that science is about evidence, not consensus, and how the IPCC's predictions on global warming do not reflect the evidence. This is due to the sun's direct and indirect effects on climate not being fully accounted for.

Zoologist, author and polar bear researcher Dr. Susan Crockford discusses the fact that polar bear populations seem to be doing well. Al Gore's movie "An Inconvenient Truth" included a short animation piece of a polar bear trying to get up on a crumbling ice flow, then going under, and Dr. Crockford exposes some 'inconvenient truths' about that! See the video of one of Dr. Crockford's full presentations on polar bears and her power point from our 16th Annual Event, held in April of 2019.
