FELDSTED -- We need to divorce climate change from environmental preservation

 

Conservative delegates reject adding ‘climate change is real’ to the policy book. Delegates voted down green-friendly policies by a margin of 54 per cent to 46 (John Paul Tasker // CBC News // Mar 20, 2021)

Conservative delegates at the party’s policy convention have voted to reject adding green-friendly statements to the policy book — including a line that would have stated the party believes “climate change is real” and is “willing to act.”

Unfortunately, the Conservative Party failed to take the opportunity to introduce some reason and sense into the climate change and environment files.
 
Climate change is real. Climate patterns have been changing throughout our recorded history and continue to change. There is nothing wrong with acknowledging that.
 
However, the addition of the words: “and is willing to act” indicates that politicians can influence the degree and effects of climate change when we have no evidence that it is possible.

The same governments have failed to contain the spread of coronavirus. Despite months of huffing and puffing and tens of thousands of officious (and totalitarian) regulations, governments are praying tearfully that a vaccine will accomplish what they could not.
 
Conservatives sat on their hands and allowed the governing Liberals to declare that carbon is a pollutant when there is no evidence to support the notion. Without carbon, life on this plant will die.
 
The majority of Canadians strongly support preserving and protecting our air, land and water, which has nothing to do with climate change.
 
We need to divorce climate change from environmental preservation.
 
We cannot control climate change and are foolish to expend energy and funds attempting to do so. We need to assess how climate change affects us and prepare plans to mitigate the effects to the extent that we can.
 
We need to get strict with polluters, whether they are individuals or corporations. Those who foul our air, land and water should expect severe punishments. Those are not infinitely renewable resources.
 
We need a new debate on the effects of carbon on alleged global warming. The “science” supporting the original hypothesis has collapsed. There is no valid, peer-reviewed science to support a credible link between carbon emissions and global warming.
 
Decades of predicted rapid increases in global temperatures have not materialized. We embrace a legend little different from the flat earth science of centuries past.
 
People need clarity on these issues and open debate on how to move forward. Discussions on climate change and carbon emissions have been censored and stifled for decades and that has to end. We lost an opportunity to bring perspective and reason to these critical files.
 
Without some means to accurately measure the effects of carbon pricing (taxes) it is a scam. If carbon taxes do not produce a measurable result the government implementing them must resign.

Interfor Moves Headquarters Out of BC as Forestry Crisis Continues

NDP policies are driving businesses out of B.C., and the forestry industry just suffered yet another calamity. Interfor, a BC company founded more than 60 years ago and now one of the world's largest lumber producers, is moving its headquarters from Burnaby, BC to Atlanta, Georgia. As BC’s forestry sector faces mill closures and mounting uncertainty, this move is another warning sign that the crisis is deepening and conditions are fatal. “This is the NDP’s record: endless job losses with no hope in sight for the forestry sector,” said Ward Stamer, Shadow Minister for Forestry. “Interfor still has three mills in BC which are now in serious jeopardy, and it is likely we will see even more companies pull out of BC. The NDP government is suffocating the forestry industry with high taxes, excessive regulations, and permitting delays, while DRIPA has made it impossible to plan for the future.” “Decisions like this are sadly not surprising given the NDP’s indifference if not hostility tow...

Okanagan Farmers Face NDP-Created Water Crisis ~~ BC Conservatives

Okanagan farmers are facing a water crisis as government-imposed restrictions threaten to kill their crops and destroy one of B.C.’s most important agricultural industries. In perhaps the most water-rich province in the country, our farmers have been left high and dry by the NDP government. For nine weeks, Okanagan and Shuswap farmers have proposed solutions, only to be met with NDP foot-dragging. Now forest fires have come to these regions as they are simultaneously reckoning with a water crisis that has been made worse through years of government inaction. Vernon-area farms have lost 70 percent of their water, while Kelowna and Summerland growers face severe restrictions. This situation is unacceptable and cannot continue. Ian Paton, Shadow Minister for Agriculture, said the NDP is once again forcing farmers to pay for its own failure to plan. "Farmers and ranchers must be listened to when decisions affecting their livelihoods are made, and under the NDP, they aren’t," said...

NDP Hypocritically Admits Natural Gas Power Was Needed All Along ~~ BC Conservatives

The NDP just got caught buying back the exact kind of power plant it spent years telling British Columbians they didn't need. The NDP government announced today that BC Hydro is purchasing the Island Generation natural gas facility in Campbell River, an admission that its electrification-only energy policy was never realistic. The 275-megawatt plant was originally privately owned yet kept to a minimal backup role under the NDP, operating just 15 days a year on average. Now, with demand outpacing what the NDP's plan can support, the government is spending taxpayer funds on the very gas capacity it once treated as obsolete. "You cannot electrify everything and pretend natural gas doesn't matter," said Larry Neufeld, Shadow Minister for Energy.  "Buying back a gas plant they once wrote off is proof their own plan couldn't keep the lights on. It's a step towards more energy reality, but the government needs to go further and scrap the impending province-w...
