I am an unapologetic and unrepentant climate change emergency sceptic, and this is why… Based on the facts gathered rather than the rhetoric from the sensation-seeking media and most of the over-politicized scientific community its very clear that the following approach will be necessary. We do have a slowly and naturally warming planet, and this..

I came to North America from the UK in my late 20s as an experienced aerospace engineer and I have been lucky in my career and cannot complain. I have now been a Canadian citizen for a large part of my working life and have worked in many parts of North America. Since that day..
When people are asked about improving the environment, they confuse pollution with climate change and will talk about: – The climate change emergency and meeting Net-Zero with CO2 mitigation. Then using wind and solar for electrical energy And going electric on transportation. The sad part is that all 3 are false directions to effectively fix..
Now is the time to Take Back Manufacturing and apply Lean, Industry 4.0, and short supply chain strategies. In my recent book Take Back Manufacturing: An Imperative for Western Economies, I explain how the globalized manufacturing approach, with long supply chains supported by liberalized free trade agreements, has caused the “hollowing out” of our local manufacturing…
I reviewed the article in the Canadian Globe & Mail.. Report On Business (April edition) that reviewed the progress toward Net Zero. It was titled: Clean Energy’s future can, and must, be now It interviewed a range of advocates and business people about the progress and the associated issues and challenges. It did not question..
It’s high time our politicians had a serious open and honest debate about our current policies regarding the mitigation efforts toward the so-called Net-Zero being driven by the understanding that we have a climate change emergency. This is essential if we are to avoid irreparable damage to our future prosperity and civilization through the unfounded..
I fell asleep in the 1980s and just woke up…… and I am horrified with all the things that are wrong with this nation and the western world, and the policies that we have allowed to evolve since I fell asleep…. What is amazing is that we now tolerate a national government that fails to treat..
You know what …. It always amazes me how the most righteous amongst us can also be the most uninformed with the most misplaced views… First, pollution is always something to work on, but it’s got to be a journey that balances the technology available (and possible) with the prosperity within our societies. Each society..
I have great pleasure in re-publishing this excellent look at recent history of conservation from Gregory Wrightstone of the CO2 Coalition (www.CO2coaltion.com) As a fourteen-year-old student in south-central Pennsylvania at the time of the first Earth Day in April 1970, I recognized the need for a real cleanup of what was a horribly abused environment. When..
The Climate Industrial Complex warns us that we dare not cross a temperature threshold that exceeds 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7°F) of increase from those that existed before the Industrial Revolution. We have already seen an increase in temperature of about 1.0 degree Celsius, so they are trying to forestall a rise of another 0.5oC (0.9°F) before catastrophe strikes. Does this..
