New e book fights again towards Justin Trudeau's web zero plan with information – are you pleased with it?

From HEARTLAND INSTITUTE

By H. Sterling Burnett

Energy and climate at a glance: The Canadian edition explains why Trudeau's climate plans will cause economic hardship in Canada and do nothing measurable to improve the global climate.

TORONTO (November 13, 2024) – Canadians for Sensible Climate Policy and the Heartland Institute have released a new book entitled “Energy & Climate at a Glance: Canadian Edition.” This 88-page book is a timely rebuttal to Canada's Net Zero push, showing that this 2050 goal is unattainable, scientifically unnecessary, and will ensure a lower standard of living for all Canadians without significant environmental benefits.

The book was written by Canadian Ron Davison, P.Eng., president of the Friends of Science Society, and American H. Sterling Burnett, Ph.D., director of the Arthur C. Robinson Center for Climate and Environmental Policy at The Heartland Institute, a free market think tank based in Illinois. The book is designed to be an easy-to-use reference for journalists, teachers, students and the general public interested in facts about climate and energy policy. Contributing authors included Tom Harris, Robert Lyman, Paul MacRae and John Zacharias.

Energy and climate at a glance: The Canadian edition covers, among other things, topics and controversies:

• the obstacles preventing Canada from ever reaching net zero
• the technical impracticality and high cost of carbon capture projects
• the problems with intermittent “renewable” energy such as wind and solar, including the destruction of land and wildlife
• the fact that electric vehicles are not “zero emissions” vehicles and exploit workers in the world’s poorest countries
• what impact Canadians' energy and economic sacrifices will have on global carbon dioxide emissions and global temperatures
• the fact that a sharp reduction in the use of fossil fuels by developed countries would lead to about 3 billion inhabitants of poor countries starving due to a lack of nitrogen fertilizers
• What are the real key drivers of global climate change?
• the fact that the data does not support claims that wildfires, heat waves, droughts and tropical cyclones are getting worse
• the fact that the oceans are neither “acidifying” nor reaching dangerous levels
• the benefits of fossil fuel use for humanity around the world

“I hope that Energy & Climate at a Glance: Canadian Edition will, in parallel with the goals of Canadians for Sensible Climate Policy and the Heartland Institute, lead to an open, civil and much-needed dialogue about the realities associated with the unnecessary, unattainable ideological push Net zero and the associated energy transition. While this book focuses on Canada, the fundamentals discussed can be applied anywhere in the world. We cannot afford to continue spending debt-financed tax dollars just to slow the projected temperature rise a century from now by an immeasurably small amount. We must focus on the financial and energy security problems we already face and stop exacerbating them.”

“This book provides a fact-based refutation of the false claims that climate change poses an existential threat, that restricting fossil fuel development and use in Canada will minimize future damage from climate change, and that Canada's current climate policies will benefit the country and its citizens .” People.

“The key takeaway from this timely, fact-based book is that the Trudeau government’s climate policies are all a drain on Canada’s wallet, lifestyle and freedom, rather than a win for the environment.”

“Many leaders in Canada's financial sector fully support, at least publicly, the government's ambition for net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. But in doing so, they ignore the economic damage that net-zero will do to their savings and investments Customers will cause damage, which this book documents in detail. Wealth managers and other members of the financial community are stewards of the country's savings and investable assets. If they fulfill their fiduciary duty, a basic cost-benefit analysis of Net Zero will quickly show that the climate and environmental “benefits” do not remotely justify the estimated trillion-dollar costs and will negate the Net Zero policy. Therefore, a prudent approach could be to forego net zero when providing investment advice to clients in 2050.”
