When he began teaching about the ice ages at the start of his career, Dr. Ian Clark stressed the link between rising CO2 and 20th century climate warming. However, closer examination of the subject and new science convinced him that climate was far more complex with other more important factors. Despite the considerable number of scientists who share the view that CO2 is NOT causing dangerous climate change, western democracies are on a road to become carbon neutral, Net Zero, by 2050. His talk will review what we know and do not know about climate and assess the potential to achieve net zero with hydro, wind, solar and the most controversial source of reliable power, nuclear. Dr. Clark also hosted Friends of Science Society's 2008 documentary "Climate Catastrophe Cancelled." You can watch that here: https://youtu.be/KnipKZAhgW4 Please join or donate to Friends of Science.

This white board explainer gives viewers some insights on why and how the climate change narrative has become so exaggerated and scary. This is based on a post by Ottawa energy policy consultant, former public servant and diplomat, Robert Lyman. Robert Lyman has spent much of his professional career reviewing, advising and proposing climate and energy-related policies for the Canadian government.

Despite being told for years that wind and solar are cheap and 'free', the energy crisis is revealing the truth. "To get wind you need oil"...lots of it, along with lots of natural gas and coal. In addition to these costs, wind and solar also require exotic commodities and rare earth minerals, all of which have been skyrocketing in price by hundreds or thousands of per cent in a few short months. Consequently, instead it being a springtime of tulips, it is, for these industries, 'Tulip-O-Mania.' 'Tulip-O-Mania' refers to a time in Holland when tulips first arrived from Turkey. They were so rare and beautiful that a vast futures market began, with a single tulip bulb escalating to the value of a house or a ship. Toward the end of this 'bubble', people were paying a fortune for tulip 'offset' bulbs from tulips that had not even been planted or propagated yet. Similarly, carbon markets have been based on the Renewable Energy Credits generated by wind and solar and since carbon markets entail 'the lack of delivery of an invisible substance to no one' there's room for a lot of hanky-panky. This is discussed in Interpol's "Guide to Carbon Trading Crime." Some wind producers are now reporting that they are selling products at a loss just to maintain cash flow and some jobs. Clearly no country will be able to rely on wind and solar as a 'net zero' solution in such a market. People should question why governments are still pushing wind and solar when this is the reality. Certainly not 'cheap' or 'free' - not that they ever were!

Three Garden Gnomes - Lumpy, Bumpy, and Grampy - notice that the two children who used to play in the garden now sit like statues, frozen with fear of 'something'. They hop over to inquire what's going on. The Gnomes are horrified to hear that the kids have been told at school that the oceans will boil, the ice will melt and the polar bears will drown! It turns out that Grampy is a geologist by training and he's studied the 4.5 billion years of climate change. So he helps the children understand that the author of that book, and Greta, are misinfomed on the claim of climate emergency. In fact he reveals that the author made a mistake in his book "Storms of My Grandchildren" - a mistake he admits to in his upcoming new book. A mistake that was only off by 999,999,500 years! The Gnomes tell they children the truth - that the world is full of wonder and that each of them is a miracle, living in a miraculous, beautiful world. Much loved miracles all. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyu53I8ASIs
