Mark Carney - UN Climate Czar : Will Changing Global Currency Stop Climate Change?
Mark Carney, Governor of the Bank of England and former Governor of the Bank of Canada, has been appointed climate envoy to the UN. In October of 2019, he threatened that 'firms ignoring the climate crisis' will go bankrupt. He made similar catastrophic claims in a speech to Lloyd's of London in the fall of 2015, prior to the COP21 Paris Conference. But analyst Steve Kopits of Princeton Energy Advisers, fact-checked his speech and found it to be a 'failure of analysis.' (http://www.prienga.com/blog/2015/10/9/fact-checking-mark-carneys-climate-claims) Carney had worked for Goldman Sachs in his earlier career, and this company is deeply invested in carbon markets. In August of 2019, according to Wikipedia, Carney gave speeches in which he said the US dollar had a destabilizing effect on the global economy and recommended replacing it with a 'Synthetic Hegemonic Currency' - a digital currency like facebook's proposed "Libra". Some in the climate community, like George Monbiot, look for a way to use energy instead of money - like a personal quota of carbon credits. https://www.monbiot.com/2006/10/31/heres-the-plan/ Related to such concepts, some see the "Internet of Things" and "Smart Cities" as a way to be more energy efficient; but could these be a step toward the Orwellian 'social credit' system now in play in China? Where ordinary freedoms are lost if you don't 'please the state'? This video offers some food for thought on these concepts, pointing out that citizens are not being given a chance to challenge or question these trends.
Friends of Science issued a letter to the Ontario Securities Commission on related matters in August of 2017. http://blog.friendsofscience.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Ontario_SC_UNPRI_climate_risk_disclosure_August27-2017-3.pdf and two reports on 'climate risk reporting' New Reports Challenge SHARE on Climate Change Risk and ‘Denial’ for Pension Fund Trustees and Corporate Boards

ARE Y
are-you-a-radical-or-rational-canadian
Dr. Suzuki is asking you to be 'radically Canadian' saying in his mail-outs "I thought we said no more pipelines" and "keep it in the ground" - while he pushes for a 100% renewable future. Isn't it silly that he doesn't know that wind turbines and solar panels use huge amounts of fossil fuels for mining rare materials, lots of fossil fuel energy in their production, installation and maintenance. Wind and solar farms attached to the grid need 24/7 continuous power back-up by coal, natural gas, hydro or nuclear. Dr. Suzuki is fooling you. Canadian resources are REQUIRED for any renewable energy. Here are some facts: "To Get Wind Power You Need Oil"

JULY
july-20,-2024.-no-wind.-nowhere.
On July 20, 2024, Alberta's wind generation dropped right off. Out of 4,478 Mega Watts (MW) of wind capability, those billions of dollars of wind turbines were only generating 27 MW at the time this video was recorded. As Brian Zinchuk of Pipeline Online reported that week, Alberta's wind generation had even dropped to 1 MW and zero. Despite many climate activists and groups like Pembina Institute advocating for ever more wind and solar, when the wind drops 'dead' as it typically does when it is really hot, or really cold, and when solar power drops off due to cloudy skies or nighttime, Alberta needs reliable, affordable, conventional power to fill the void. That's natural gas. This video discusses these challenges. Please like, share, subscribe - and please join Friends of Science Society.

WATER
water-vapor
Most people consider carbon dioxide (CO2) to be the driver of climate change, but what is the role of water vapor, the most important Greenhouse Gas? Dr. Ian Clark discusses this elusive gas - water vapour - something that was released in massive quantities during the Hunga Tonga eruption. However, beyond spectacular events like that, the dramatic land use changes of humans, especially irrigation, significantly affects regional climates, as Dr. Clark explains. You can learn more about the detail of the influence of water vapor in our Climate Science Essay: https://friendsofscience.org/pages/essay.html
Watch Dr. Clark's full presentation and review the power point on our main website:

SöND
s-ndagar-f-r-klimatf-rnuft-that-is
Working people who pay taxes and who have been paying for pollution for 50 years (in Canada) and who pay for all the 'climate action' that the Greta Thunberg followers demand, can't come to city halls worldwide to protest these taxes and burdensome fees during the week - because...they are WORKING! But many people have Sundays off. However, who wants to go and protest at City Hall on your day off? No one! Thanks to cyber space and social media, you can just take a picture of yourself with the protest sign ...OR make your own...and send it to your city hall via facebook, twitter, instagram, email... let them know you don't want to be a #CarbonSerf and that you want full cost-benefit analysis on climate policies, and full consideration of the diverse scientific perspectives on climate change. If Greta's message can reach out the world, yours can too.

FOOD
food-fads-make-poor-people-poor
Marijn Poels has worked around the world in many developing nations and in the making of his film “The Uncertainty Has Settled,” he was struck by the trend toward food insecurity in the West, caused by converting land that was once devoted to food crops, to biogas, or abandoning vegetables, dairy or beef production for subsidized wind and solar farm. The process of food globalization has unintended consequences as he describes in the case of Ethiopia and ‘teff’ – the ancient grain used to make ‘injera’ bread. Once a cheap and nutritious option for Ehtiopians, it has become popular in the west and this has driven up the local price.

FACEB
facebook-censors-free-speech
Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, was recently reported to be changing some of Facebook's policies 'in the face of what he deems as excessive censorship,' according to a CNN article of Jan 31, 2020. However, Friends of Science Society is calling out the Facebook CEO and asking for his help because Facebook is censoring their ad for a Freedom of Speech event. The event is entitled "Freedom of Speech! No Climate Emergency!" and features investigative journalist and free speech advocate, Donna Laframboise, and NASA award-winning scientist, Dr. Roy Spencer, principal researcher with the University of Alabama Huntsville. It appears that the rejection of the ad arises because Facebook has previously accepted the Climate Feedback claim that 500 scientists, who state there is NO climate emergency, is a form of false news. Facebook has since been demoting the Friends of Science site for having published this news that mainstream media blocked out. Friends of Science say that even one of Climate Feedback's own scientists admitted on Norwegian television that there is no present climate emergency. Likewise, the CLINTEL group now has more than 800 scientists. Friends of Science have also written a detailed critique of Climate Feedback's assessments, showing where they go wrong. Friends of Science further note that Climate Feedback, a subset of Poynter Institute's International Fact Checking Network (IFCN) should encourage open, civil debate on climate and energy policies - not dogmatically shut it down. In a fund-raising letter, Poynter's president, Neil Brown, claims their organization is dedicated to freedom of speech, freedom of the press and democracy, but that's not what Climate Feedback or IFCN are supporting. Please share our video letter to Mark Zuckerberg.

SOME
some-historical-cases-of-erroneous
A journalist once asked mathematician and author Benoit Rittaud, President of L'Association de Climato-Realistes (Association of Climate Realists), if there were any historical cases of a large scientific movement based on an erroneous premise like Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming. Climat Environnement & Énergie: https://www.climato-realistes.fr/ At the Porto Basic Climate Science Conference of 2018, Rittaud explains that scientists generally do not study history, or they do so, the simply study the forward stepping stones of discovery - not the failings in between. In this talk, recorded at the Porto Basic Climate Conference in September of 2018, Rittaud discusses the Lysenko Affair as a similar mix of scientific error driven by politics, ideology, and fear of reprisal for any who dared to question, into its catastrophic implementation.

CLIMA
climate-diversity-is-our-strength
What happens to a society when children become nothing more than a carbon footprint to be avoided? Should this concept be taught in schools?
Researchers Wynes and Nicholas (2019) did a survey of climate change curricula in secondary schools in Canada. In their opinion the schools are not doing a good enough job of 'convincing' students of the 'scope and urgency' of climate change, or that 'expert agree'. They were disconcerted to find that Friends of Science materials were even referred to in some school curricula, showing examples of the 'polarized' debate on climate, which Wynes and Nicholas say does not exist. Michelle Stirling wrote a rebuttal paper that shows that not all experts agree and that Wynes and Nicholas are advocating for pink slips for teachers and humanicide for Canadians. Their previous research that suggested having one less child would 'save the planet' - particularly sad this is their view when the real polluters and emitters are things like container ships and developing nations. Container ships: Container Ship - How to reduce effect on Climate and Pollution Developing Nations: https://blog.friendsofscience.org/2019/05/05/futile-folly-canadas-climate-policy-goals-in-the-global-context/ Stirling's paper: Climate Diversity is Our Strength: Responding to Wynes and Nicholas (2019) by Michelle Stirling :: SSRN
