RE: Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions rise slightly in 2019.

RE: The party is over for Canadian conservatives.  Reports in the Hamilton Spectator of 13 Apr 21. 

Just a usual day at the office for climate change propagandists.  But a few observations.

In ‘greenhouse gas emissions,’ an erroneous statement appears as follows, ”Once in the atmosphere, carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases trap heat, which causes climate change.”  It should read, “Greenhouse gases – primarily water vapor, but including carbon dioxide – trap heat, which keeps the earth warm at night.”

Climate change is a complex phenomenon and the presence or absence of CO2 in the atmosphere is but one small factor.  Water vapor is by far the predominant “greenhouse gas,” and its lack in the atmosphere explains why deserts get so cold at night.

When the author of “the party’s over” says “the reality of climate change is not up for debate” it means he wins in his own mind by violence, not by conclusive, or even persuasive evidence.  His insinuation that the CPC really ‘does not understand climate change’ is the self-flattery of a weak mind.  The author fails to understand the significance, or lack thereof, of 1.5 percent, or of the fact the China is building the equivalent of Ontario’s entire power output in coal-fired power each year.  The belief that Canada can do anything about world CO2 emissions is silly Toronto Liberal talk.

The CPC will remain politically dominant in Western Canada and the Liberals will remain irrelevant because the Liberals are untrustworthy on energy and other issues.
