CBC's At Issue political panel deposed last night's French Language debate among leaders of Canadian political parties, ahead of the October 21st federal election. It was the second debate featuring the presence of Maxime Bernier of the upstart People's Party of Canada. Max is a conservative and decidedly too conservative for the Conservatives.
While making a good impression on the panelists in this debate, he is largely dismissed as being too far 'out there' to be a serious candidate. 2 of the 3 panelists, as well as host Rosie Barton, laughed at the idea that Bernier wanted to see research into the effect of the sun on climate change.
These politically-correct, superior women thought him a fool for such a stupid idea. The science is closed; it's all about CO2! What they don't know was that they were dismissing many decades of scientific research - Old Science - the kind where you published your findings and your methods. New Science seems to like to keep their computer models secret - that's not scientific!
Before the IPCC decided, on very little science, that anthropogenic greenhouse gasses were entirely responsible for global warming, almost all climate scientists believed the sun was the main progenitor of climate change.
The two factors mostly associated with climate were the distance from the sun on the Earth's orbit, and the amount of sunspot activity. Little ice ages in the past 400 years have been directly linked to minimal sunspot activity, like the Maunder Minimum.
Other research
There is a lot of research out there that contradicts or mitigates anthropogenic global warming, but you never hear of them because mainstream media won't give them a second of consideration. They are too busy finding their daily dose of climate alarmism, and will not, by policy, broadcast anything that might suggest otherwise. They won't even look at it. They completely dismiss anything that is not politically correct.
The IPCC decision to blame global warming on man-made greenhouse gasses was much less a scientific decision than a political decision. Since the early 1990's the IPCC has been funding only research that supports climate change alarmism. People who research processes that might counter or mitigate the alarmist ideology are defunded and thrown under the bus.
Professor Murry Salby's research into the distant past revealed that global temperature peaks preceded global CO2 peaks by about 800 years. He has been let go by the university he worked for and is struggling to find another that will support him. Those who might counter the climate science alarmist ideology are basically blacklisted. That's why most scientists agree with the IPCC ideology, if they ever want research money, they had better. And if their research doesn't support the ideology, they can forget about ever getting another grant.
Swedish climate scientist Pehr Björnbom has replicated the work of Dr. Murry Salby, finding that temperature, not man-made CO2, drives CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. German climate scientist Hans von Storch also agreed with some of Salby’s findings. Hans von Storch is a Professor at the Meteorological Institute of the University of Hamburg, and Director of the Institute for Coastal Research at the Helmholtz Research Centre in Geesthacht, Germany.
He was interviewed in 2013 by Der Spiegel magazine (see blue font near bottom).
Just two years ago, meteorologists were being sure to tell their audiences not to blame single extreme weather events on global warming. Now, every extreme event is blamed on global warming when, in fact, they may have very little to do with it.
Recent articles from China, Russia and Kobe University in Japan support the sun's activities as being the main progenitor in climate change. They all are more concerned about global cooling than global warming as the sun is expected to go into a phase of low sunspot activity.
Are we there yet?
For what it's worth, I have been saying for 30 years that man has contributed to global warming. I have also been saying that man is not the only contributor and that the science isn't there to prove how much man is contributing and how much is being driven by solar activity, magnetosphere changes and probably other processes we haven't even thought of yet. Modern climate scientists are trying to squeeze two dozen eggs into a one dozen egg container and are ignoring the mess that is spilling out. Modern climate science is still not there yet.
Child abuse
My concern is mostly about children who are being literally traumatized by daily articles telling them the world will end before they even become adults. This is madness and child abuse. They are abusing children for their very questionable cause. The effects of taking away a child's future will become very noticeable as this generation reaches adulthood, and it will not be good.
PCMadness
Bernier wants to start a dialogue on many issues that trouble Canadian society, but politically correct people think the most evil thing in the world is to talk about what they have already decided is true. They don't realize that preventing people from talking about issues in a meaningful way is what tends to create extremists; not Islamic extremists but far-right extremists. Liberals tend to think that talking about something will make it worse, but not talking about important issues just disenfranchises a whole sector of people. It may result in them acting out in violent ways, just to get the attention of the government.
