“Show me your work” is indeed a good admonition, so let’s check Dave Carson’s work.  First, is there a climate crisis? Second, can Canada by her own heroic efforts solve it?  The answer to both questions is NO!!

As Steve Malloy of Junckscience.com has been pointing out, by NASA-NOAA’s own satellite data, global temperatures are the same today as they were eight years ago.  There is no climate crisis in spite of rising CO2 levels.

Can Canada by her own effort solve the climate crisis?  For the sake of argument, let’s say there is one and it’s caused by CO2.  It was pointed out in a recent U.S. Senate hearing, if the United States spent $50 trillion to become net-zero by 2050, it would have no impact unless China and India cooperated.  Well, India and China are lifting hundreds of millions of people out of poverty by electrification with cheap, coal-fired generation, and are not going to cooperate.  Canada, Hamilton, Dofasco?

It’s fair to say that forcing ArcelorMittal to make steel with “green hydrogen” isn’t worth spit in the ocean; all it will do is make Hamilton made steel non-competitive on the world market.

Dave Carson hasn’t done his homework!
