Important new project provides videos and short non-technical issue briefs for students It is time to challenge the steady diet of bias, false information and alarmism on climate change that students are fed both in and outside of their classrooms. An important new...
There continues to be little hard evidence of a correlation between carbon dioxide (CO2) increases, caused by humans, and rising temperatures. While the relationship has been programmed into relatively simplistic computer models constructed by climate scientists,...
Original interview from June 8, 2010 Frontier Centre: Can you tell us a little about your professional background, specifically how you became interested in the climate change issue? Harrison Schmitt: I’m a geologist and the climate has had an awful lot to do with...

Trade barriers among provinces in Canada are a problem. Canada has signed trade agreements with foreign countries like the U.S. and regions like the European Union. Yet, trade barriers still exist in Canada even though countries like Germany or Belgium don’t have...
The attack on the Capitol in Washington and its aftermath have taken a toll, but unfortunately, the incident will remain remote and extraordinary for most. It has been politicized, sensationalized and reconstructed, but its tragic impact on those on the front lines is...
Amidst the doom and gloom headlines presaging dire prognostications for the Western economies in 2012 there is the very real promise of a global economy re-directing miracle in the making. The impact and promise of shale gas and shale oil is probably the good news story as we step into 2012. Not that you would know it, given the media’s predilection for bad news.
Europe's anticarbon crusade failed to extend the Kyoto Protocol this month, but the boys in Brussels don't give up easily. Now Europe may kick off a trade war with its new scheme to tax airlines on carbon emissions. The rule, which goes into effect January 1, will...
On December 15, four leading scientists appeared before the Canadian Senate Standing Committee on Energy, the Environment and Natural Resources to challenge global warming advocacy. The hearing was the first of its kind in Canada to officially challenge global warming orthodoxy before the Government of Canada.
Over the years, some of the Kyoto fairy dust had begun to wear off. Global greenhouse emissions did not in fact appear to be declining very much. Many of the EU cuts were accounting tricks; counting the closure of inefficient, money-losing industrial dinosaurs in East Germany that were doomed to close anyway towards Germany’s greenhouse targets was a fairly typical example.
We must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.
In advance of the conference, the Canadian government signalled that it will formally withdraw from the Kyoto Protocol – something that was confirmed Monday.
Bureaucratic, centralized disaster responses have a history of failure .
The Canadian Government’s decision to formally withdraw from the Kyoto Protocol is an important victory for common sense and one we hope all Canadians will applaud,” said Tom Harris, executive director of ICSC which is headquartered in Ottawa, Canada.
Ben Eisen shows that simple national emissions targets in international climate change treaties disadvantage countries like Canada that are experiencing rapid population growth.
