Due Diligence on Renewable Demands by David Suzuki Foundation

The tax-payer subsidized charity David Suzuki Foundation is asking Canadians to participate in a “Power Up Renewable Energy” promotion campaign based on partisan demands that are not supported by evidence.  Due diligence reveals these claims and demands to be false and misleading to the public, and if implemented, would be a wasteful use of public funds and detrimental for the nation at large.

Meeting the Paris COP-21 GHG reduction targets would reduce the Canadian economy to that of Chad. Canada’s GDP per capita ranking by the IMF, in 2015, is 21st at $45,602 while Chad ranks 155th with $2,640 per citizen. This would not be a public benefit to Canada. 

Friends of Science Society has done the due diligence on the David Suzuki Foundation claims in a new report.

Woe. Angst. Hang-wringing. Depressing.
AGW crowd choosing words to elicit a specific response or emotion.

Climate Weirding

By H. B Schmidt

Expect the dialogue to once again morph into something seemingly more nefarious and/or insidious, switching from global warming –> climate change –> climate “weirding”:

In a recent segment, weather.com began the switch-over. The quotes and alliteration are as follows …

“It has been punctuated this week by a weird, long plume of moisture spanning almost the entire Pacific Ocean Basin, piped into the West Coast, including Seattle, from near the Philippines.

“If that [heavy precipitation as far south as northern California] isn’t depressing enough …

“But this nearly seven-month stretch has challenged the patience of even long-time residents …”

Inspiring, isn’t it? Woe. Angst. Hang-wringing. “Weird”. Unusual. Depressing. In the literary realm, word choices designed to elicit a specific response or emotion is known as connotation. Among the AGW crowd, it almost always takes the form of hyperbole—extravagant exaggeration meant to sway the casual reader to the perils of climate change.

The Weather Channel has become one of the most perversely egregious media outlets to employ the tactic. As if ordinary day-to-day follies of weather weren’t dramatic enough, they have progressed to narrating their dialogue as though every event is now highly unusual, and often try tying specific weather events to human-induced climate change.

In grade school most of us read the Aesop fable, “The Boy Who Cried Wolf”. In it, a shepherd boy repeatedly cries out “Wolf! Wolf!” and then laughs at the villagers who run out to chase away the threat. Only after being repeatedly lied to do the villagers ignore the real threat, when a wolf appears and steals away a sheep.

In the same way, the aggressively dramatic hyperbole employed by climate change proponents dulls our senses to distinguish between normal weather and climatic variability and potentially real human-induced climate change. And in my estimation, since their repeated cries of “Wolf! Wolf!” have no elicited the necessary response they desire, they once again are about to change tactics to describe natural variability as “climate weirding”.

Like the villagers in Aesop’s fable, we all need to beware false narratives. Eventually the climate will change, but to what is anyone’s guess. Should it be, as Robert says, “Not By Fire But By Ice”, a great many people will have been duped into needless anxiety while being left behind.

Why is AEMO electricity price for Tasmania rocketing?

I have been watching my 5 States chart and the rise in AEMO wholesale price for Tasmania since Feb puzzles me. I thought their relatively large hydro resource might have insulated Tassie from the more erratic prices interstate. Hydro Tasmania is State Govt owned and is swamped with debt.

Update on Possible Eco-terror Attack at University of Alabama/Huntsville

The original media reports that the event was a “random shooting” were, in my opinion, irresponsible. As far as I know, there were no questions asked of us, like “Do you know why someone might have intentionally shot into your building?”
