You know, I think that solar, wind, all those are good when technology is there to make sure they’re good. Today, I don’t think the technology truly exists. It was an idea. It caught on and hey, we’re going to save the planet because our our icebergs aren’t going to melt anymore. You haven’t convinced me at all of that. I don’t see the research that proves that. Again, my own theory is I think the Earth continues to evolve just like we have for millions of years, and we’re going to go through different times as time progresses. I’m not saying that that flaring flaring doesn’t have some impact, but does it have the true impact that you see in media today?

There will be no legal basis to deny a bisexual the right to marry a partner of each sex, or a person to marry his pet. If everyone does what is right in his own eyes, chaos and sexual anarchy will result. And make no mistake, the extremists who seek to redefine marriage also want to deny you the right to object to immoral behavior.

Over the past decade, Canadians have been presented with numerous misrepresentations and a litany of misinformation regarding Canada’s oil and natural gas sector – and it has had negative impacts. Many Canadian’s do not realize Canada is an environmental leader in global oil and natural gas production, how pipelines are the safest and most responsible way to transport oil products, or how the Canadian oil and natural gas industry is the single largest investor in green technologies. This needs to change.

No one but an idiot would claim that man has had no effect on climate. But, also, no one but a numbskull would say that natural factors like continental drift, volcanoes, ocean currents and the earth’s tilt have had no impact. Thus, we should be able to place ‘climate deniers’ and the most mulish of climate-change advocates – like, for example, the New York Times and Al Gore – outside the room, so that an intelligent conversation and debate can be had within. Unfortunately, the decibels of the discourse on this subject have risen to such levels that there are very few left to quietly and civilly discuss climate change and to debate what actions man should take to limit emissions, but also to prepare for a changing future. In his 2007 classic, Cool It, Bjorn Lomborg made the same point: He asked: ‘Why [has] the debate over climate change stifled rational dialogue and killed meaningful dissent? As societies become wealthier, things inevitably happen regarding the environment: Emissions become reduced; rivers, oceans and streams become cleaner, and better land management allows for re-forestation. It is economic growth that should be our focus.

We are at the top of the food chain insofar as CO2 emissions are concerned. So if you get in the business of limiting CO2 emissions, of taxing CO2 emissions, of creating a value in CO2 emissions where people trade them in this emissions trading scheme, you go to the coal plants first because of the fact that that’s the greatest source –single source–of CO2 that there is. [T]he science to me–and I have been involved, not as a scientist but as a lawyer–the science to me suggests, in the ten years I’ve been involved in it, that there is no basis, no mechanism that anybody can point to or look at to say that more CO2 in the air is going to lead to catastrophic global warming or apocalyptic global warming, as opposed to some mild warming, which is nothing to be concerned about at all. [T]he precautionary principle might say that we should put more CO2 in the air to prevent CO2 levels from being driven down to such low levels in the future by an ice age that it extinguishes plant life.

The organization focuses on issues at the intersection of science, economics, and the judicial system, with the objective of contributing to a judicial system in which liability and damage awards are based on fact-based science. We will evaluate existing scientific studies and promote the objective and unbiased truth of scientific claims made by those participating in the American free enterprise and judicial systems. s of April 2023, the Center for Trust in Science’s website listed the following “issue areas of focus“: ethylene oxide, formaldehyde, glyphosate, PFAS, and talc and talcum powder. thylene Oxid egarding ethylene oxide, the group “seeks to determine if there is conclusive, consistent scientific evidence that demonstrates a link between exposure to ethylene oxide and the development of cancer or other chronic illnesses. The Center also seeks to examine the potential economic impact of government-imposed limits or bans on the use of ethylene oxide.” ccording to the National Cancer Institute, “Lymphoma and leukemia are the cancers most frequently reported to be associated with occupational exposure to ethylene oxide. Stomach and breast cancers may also be associated with ethylene oxide exposure. ormaldehyd n formaldehyde, “[T]he Center for Truth in Science seeks to determine from available high-quality studies if there is conclusive, consistent evidence that inhaled formaldehyde exposure causes leukemia, including myeloid leukemia and other LHP cancers. The Center has awarded a research grant to support a systematic review of current scientific literature to better understand this issue.” ccording to the National Cancer Institute, “Studies of workers exposed to high levels of formaldehyde, such as industrial workers and embalmers, have found that formaldehyde causes myeloid leukemia and rare cancers, including cancers of the paranasal sinuses, nasal cavity, and nasopharynx. lyphosat egarding glyphosate, “[T]he Center for Truth in Science seeks to determine if there is conclusive, consistent scientific evidence that demonstrates a link between exposure to glyphosate and the development of cancer or other chronic illnesses. The Center also seeks to examine the potential economic impact of government-imposed limits or bans on the use of glyphosate.” lyphosate is the most commonly-used herbicide worldwide. Scientists have increasingly linked herbicides containing glyphosate as the active ingredient, such as Bayer’s Roundup (formerly owned by Monsanto), to endocrine disruption, birth defects, and the cancer non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in humans. It has been banned in at least 10 countries, restricted in more than a dozen others, and restricted or banned in several U.S. cities.”6 In July 2021, Bayer announced that as part of its “its five-point plan to address future Roundup litigation risk,” it would “replace its glyphosate-based products in the U.S. residential Lawn & Garden market with new formulations that rely on alternative active ingredients beginning in 2023, subject to a timely review by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state counterparts.”( FA n PFAS, the group “seeks to determine if there is conclusive, consistent scientific evidence that demonstrates a link between exposure to PFAS and the development of cancer or other chronic illnesses. The Center also seeks to examine the potential economic impact of government-imposed limits or bans on the use of PFAS.

Climate change is a world that has come to be controlled by activists and campaigners who claim to be on the side of science and reason but who are really spinning narratives which suit ulterior motives […] We have somehow developed an atmosphere in which anyone who expresses scepticism is denounced as a ‘denier’, yet baseless narratives of doom are promoted as fact. To have succeeded in creating this atmosphere is an astonishing achievement on the part of climate activists. Their manipulation of public emotion is truly remarkable.

The theory that we caused the global warming with our emissions of carbon dioxide is based on two assumptions (guesses), made in the early 1980s when there was insufficient data. One assumption has since been disproved, and the second is looking dubious.

I would like history to remember me as an honest scientist. Along with many like me, I am trying to explain to my fellow Americans the serious damage that will be done to us, and indeed to the whole world, by cockamamie policies to ‘save the planet’ from .”2 We have no more ability to prevent climate change than King Canute had to stop the tide from rising. All the observational evidence is that has a relatively small effect on temperature. Changes in the Earth’s temperature will continue to be dominated by natural causes, whether we increase concentrations, by continuing to burn fossil fuels, or whether we permit a nightmarish police state to stop emissions ,and punish ‘deniers’ as some in the alarmist camp demand. I can’t think of any benefits for reducing emissions. is not a pollutant. […] Almost all plants grow better and are more drought resistant with two to four times more than now. There is no “overwhelming consensus.” In spite of decades of propaganda, and even threats to their jobs, about half of meteorologists remain unconcerned about global warming.

I actually think climate policy, in the way we’ve got it, is a big part of the problem: the constant hectoring of people to change their lifestyles and live in a particular way. The idea that the net zero target can only be reached through very strong state intervention to reach particular goals and that the market won’t do the job, the market is part of the problem.

Last month, scientists at CERN, the prestigious high-energy physics lab in Switzerland, reported that neutrinos might "repeat, might "travel faster than the speed of light. If serious scientists can question Einstein's theory of relativity, then there must be room for debate about the workings and complexities of the Earth's atmosphere.

Global warming alarmists argue human activities, primarily the emission of greenhouse gases from energy use, are driving a rapid rise in global average temperature that is causing a climate crisis. This theory and the climate models that underpin it are strongly contradicted by real-world evidence.

Green is not the right term to describe nature, the right color for nature is red. Nature is vicious. It’s mean. Nature wants you dead. It wants to eat you. It wants to kill you, freeze you, boil you, and what we do is we use energy to protect ourselves from mother nature, mother-in-law nature, if you will.

Steve Bannon has nothing to do with me or my Presidency. When he was fired, he not only lost his job, he lost his mind. Steve was a staffer who worked for me after I had already won the nomination by defeating seventeen candidates, often described as the most talented field ever assembled in the Republican Party Now that he is on his own, Steve is learning that winning isn’t as easy as I make it look. Steve had very little to do with our historic victory, which was delivered by the forgotten men and women of this country. Yet Steve had everything to do with the loss of a Senate seat in Alabama held for more than thirty years by Republicans. Steve doesn’t represent my base — he’s only in it for himself Steve pretends to be at war with the media, which he calls the opposition party, yet he spent his time at the White House leaking false information to the media to make himself seem far more important than he was. It is the only thing he does well. Steve was rarely in a one-on-one meeting with me and only pretends to have had influence to fool a few people with no access and no clue, whom he helped write phony books We have many great Republican members of Congress and candidates who are very supportive of the Make America Great Again agenda. Like me, they love the United States of America and are helping to finally take our country back and build it up, rather than simply seeking to burn it all down.

It’s no longer one country against another country. It’s no longer nations against each other. It’s the people, the people who strive for freedom, us, against the people who want to oppress us.

That the normally pragmatic and frugal-minded [Don] Drummond accepts the need to spend enormous sums in perpetuity pursuing a wholly undefined and unbounded effort to revive dozens of already-abandoned native languages may be seen as evidence of how sentiment, rather than science or evidence, has taken control of the Indigenous language debate. … In fact, there is good academic evidence that cataloguing and recording for archival purposes may be the best that can be hoped for the majority of Canada’s Indigenous languages. … Accepting the utility of a modern dominant language is not an exercise in cultural homogenization or linguistic colonialism. It is simply recognition of the tremendous benefits arising from barrier-free communication via a common language. … Attempting to fulfil the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action on Indigenous languages by permitting a host of new quasi-official languages few people can speak or by embarking on a doomed experiment to revive dying languages on reserves may be the latest attempt at expiating white guilt over the legacy of the residential schools system. But that doesn’t mean it’s a wise use of resources, time or effort.
