Does the media suffer from "Carbon TAX-o-phobia? The media seem to be afraid to say anything about the carbon tax when they report on rising prices and the cost of living. They never mention the carbon tax. In this simple video, we do a tiny bit of math to show how the carbon tax is cumulative, and how the pennies add up in no time. Worst of all, scientist have now come to the conclusion that carbon dioxide is not the control knob that can 'fine tune' climate, so taxing carbon dioxide will not stop climate change. Why are you being taxed for it at all? ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahdxQflZO3Q

Carbon NetZero: A Ridiculous Solution to an Imaginary Problem - Dr. Patrick Moore presents a bit of his personal history as a Greenpeace Warrior, and now a compendium of his work as a warrior for common sense on climate and environmental problems. Drawing on some of the work from his book "Fake and Invisible Catastrophes and Threats of Doom," Dr. Moore exposes many of these climate and environmental myths. (Note: Friends of Science is apolitical. We appreciate that the Wildrose Liberty Coalition gave us the opportunity to record Dr. Moore's presentation.) Please help us continue to educate the public and calm down climate fears.

Climate policies have consequences. In Kitchen Table Talks #1, we look at the recently released "Blueprint" report, put together by a number of climate activist organizations and public figures like Mark Carney. The plan proposes that to address Canada's housing crisis, municipal governments should abandon zoning regulations and normal public review of proposed projects, and that high density construction should be incentivized along transit routes. Part of the way the Canadian government plans to address the housing shortfall is by creating a small selection of pre-approved housing plans. They also advocate for new housing methods and materials like mass timber, prefab homes, low-carbon cement and to build homes to the higher NetZero building standards and electrification. They claim this will result in more affordable housing and that 5.8 million homes can thus be built between now and 2030 or so. This video takes a look at how and why the historical "Victory Homes" project served the men returning from World War II, and why this new plan seems destined to have some serious unintended consequences and hidden costs. While the "Blueprint" plan theorizes that building within the cities, where there is established infrastructure for water/sewage/electricity, there will likely be significant, very expensive upgrades required for the densification proposed. This plan sounds like something many cities and residents would reject, but in order to push it through, the "Blueprint" proposes that any infrastructure funding from the federal government be directly tied to an agreement by the provinces and municipalities to make the sweeping legislative zoning changes noted above. As well, the construction of anything means there will be significant emissions, so it is hard to believe that this plan will result in a 'low-carbon' outcome. These frantic efforts to cut carbon emissions for housing stem from the unscientific, implausible scenario known as RCP 8.5, which Infrastructure Canada uses for its "Climate Lens" baseline for funding. RCP 8.5 is the source of the mistaken claim there is a climate emergency. Please review the "Blueprint" plan and consider what it might mean for your community.
