RE: Weather disasters are here to stay. Op-ed by Tricia Clarkson. The Hamilton Spectator 17 Jan 25. Clarkson is co-chair of the activist Peterborough Alliance for Climate Action
Like all other Canadian climate nutters, Tricia Clarkson believes that by her heroic efforts alone, Canada can stop the rise is atmospheric CO2, and thus save the planet from the bad weather that CO2 causes.
She writes, “If we don’t immediately reduce our CO2 emissions, we will have an increase in deadly weather events.” It couldn’t be plainer: CO2 causes bad weather. Absurd!
But also, she uses the pronoun “we.” To borrow from Ronald Reagan, “What’d ya mean ‘we’?” Canada produces 1.5 percent of global CO2 emissions, and China is going to build 100 coal-fired power plants this year. If Canada disappeared tomorrow, China would make up for all that lost emission before long.
But don’t ask the climate nutters to justify
their claims or explain what they expect us to do in light of all this because
there’s nobody home. To repeat this message, press 3.
