Frontier Senior Fellow, Donna Laframboise, testifies to UK House of Commons Energy and Climate Change select committee:

Build the Keystone pipeline
President Obama wants to put America back to work, produce more energy, improve public safety, and open new markets. In his State of the Union address he said “I will act on my own to slash bureaucracy so we can get more construction workers on the job as fast...
Sea Levels Challenge Global Warming Orthodoxy
We just posted an interesting commentary about sea levels and global warming by an American meteorologist with an interest in ancient city sites in Europe and Asia. Robert Endlich observes that declining global temperatures caused the polar ice cap to...
A Climate of Fear, Cash and Correctitude
Paul Driessen and Dennis Mitchell Earth’s geological, archaeological and written histories are replete with climate changes: big and small, short and long, benign, beneficial, catastrophic and everything in between. The Medieval Warm Period (950-1300 AD or CE) was a...

Falling Immigration, a Troubling Signal
Manitoba shows no sign that its policies will be able to maintain the working population, while, over time, returning to annual balanced budgets and cutting taxes to keep the private sector that is here now. This dismal prediction is partially drawn by observing the...
International Traffic Congestion Extinguished by Pandemic and Remote Work
The 2020 TomTom Traffic Index reflects a huge drop in worldwide urban traffic congestion levels. Congestion levels (rated by the percentage of additional time required for auto travel during “rush hour”) dropped in 387 urban areas while increasing in only 13. Overall,...
The Climate Change Climate Change
The collapse of the “consensus” has been driven by reality. The inconvenient truth is that the earth’s temperatures have flat-lined since 2001, despite growing concentrations of C02. Peer-reviewed research has debunked doomsday scenarios about the polar ice caps, hurricanes, malaria, extinctions, rising oceans. A global financial crisis has politicians taking a harder look at the science that would require them to hamstring their economies to rein in carbon.
The Environmental State of Canada – Slides
PowerPoint slides detailing Canada’s environmental progress which accompanied the Meeting for Policy Experts seminar by Dr. Ken Green and Ben Eisen in Winnipeg on June 17th, 2009.
The Environmental State of Canada
Air, water, soil dramatically improving despite all the environmental scare-mongering. Forest cover steady, not declining. Carbon Dioxide increasing but far slower than predicted in the past based on economic growth.
Global Warming Advocates Shifting Goalposts
Lack of data is a serious problem because as Alexis Carrel said, “A few observations and much reasoning lead to error; many observations and a little reasoning to truth.” However, complicate that with lack of a general theory on which to hang the observations and you understand why we don’t appear to share the same theory.
Tim Ball on Our Cooling Atmosphere
Dr. Tim Ball’s PowerPoint slides from the 6th Annual Friends of Science Luncheon, Calgary, May 21, 2009.
Is Man-Made Global Warming Real?
The sun is constantly emitting cosmic rays: Those that reach the Earth stimulate cloud creation, which has a cooling effect. But, when the sunspot cycle is active, the flow of cosmic rays is disrupted, fewer reach Earth’s atmosphere, cloud cover is diminished, and the Earth warms.
The Climate-Industrial Complex
The partnership among self-interested businesses, grandstanding politicians and alarmist campaigners truly is an unholy alliance. The climate-industrial complex does not promote discussion on how to overcome this challenge in a way that will be best for everybody. We should not be surprised or impressed that those who stand to make a profit are among the loudest calling for politicians to act.
All Life On Planet Depends On CO2
Science is simply defined as the ability to predict, so the failure invalidates the science even if you don’t understand the science. People who persist only have a blind belief and as the adage says, there are none so blind as those who will not see. What a terrifying basis for devastating and totally unnecessary energy and economic policies.
Briefing Note on Global Warming Debate
Weather systems are complex - Weather is what you experience when you are outside. It is the total impact of dozens of variables including cosmic and solar radiation, volcanic heat entering the bottom of the ocean, and so-called greenhouse gas or carbon dioxide (CO2)...
