RE: Major fossil-fuel producers failing on climate targets, jeopardizing transition. CP story by Jordan Omstead. The Hamilton Spectator 9 Nov 23

Speaking of jeopardizing: the cosseting, jet-setting climate nuts who authored this report are hectoring Canada about not reducing Alberta’s oil production, while spreading nonsense about an alleged climate crisis, in order to protect their comfortable incomes.  They don’t care about middle class people who have to scratch out a living, except to the extent they don’t want to become one of them.

By some accounts, the world is already 1.8℃ above “pre-industrial” temperatures (never giving a firm number), and the climate hasn’t fallen, collapsed or dissolved in chaos as we were long promised.  In short, another climate hoax.  The figure of 1.5 was pulled out of the nether regions.  There is no evidence that the planet’s current climates (for there are many) are the absolute best that can be, and that anything warmer, as occurred several times since the end of the last ice age, would be disastrous to the world.

The hard physics of it is that a doubling of CO2 from 400 to 800 ppm would increase global temperature by 0.72℃, nothing to worry about; and no reason for the Western world to destroy its economies just to shut-up incessant Marxist fear-mongers.

A growing world, to escape mass poverty, will need growing quantities of oil and gas; and Alberta, Canada, is helping to sustain global economic growth.
