Climate science is in turmoil. Contrary to predictions by the world’s leading climate models and despite rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide, global surface temperatures have been flat for 16 years. How can the climate models be wrong?

Fracking Brings Employment and Economic Revival: But anti-energy activists promote falsehoods about this vital, safe job-creating technology. They inhabit a callous parallel universe and wage war on cheap energy, jobs and the poor.
Signs of pride and prosperity were evident all over Williamsport and the gorgeous northern Pennsylvania countryside around it. Friendly, happy people greeted us. New cars, trucks, hotels and restaurants sparkled in a clean, bustling downtown. New roofs topped barns and houses, while late model tractors worked the fields. Formerly dirt roads are now paved.

With the release of a predictable report by the Clean Environment Commission, one that criticizes elements of Manitoba Hydro's Bipole III plans and actions while setting out 'reachable' conditions for Hydro moving ahead on the $4 or $5 or ? billion project, the 'green...
David Suzuki and the rise of New Xenophobia
David Suzuki made a statement that Canada’s immigration policy is disgusting and that the country is already full. He implies that the environment will be harmed by more people in Canada and that immigration inevitably translates into an irreplaceable loss of skill to the countries of origin. People reject newcomers for a variety of reasons, but Suzuki’s fears are not the old-fashioned xenophobia with which we are all familiar.

Energy Inquiry Shows the Problem and the Way
If a public inquiry found that hundreds of millions of dollars was being funnelled by foreign entities to undermine Canadian industry, should we conclude there is nothing wrong? Remarkably, the public inquiry’s final report into anti-Alberta energy campaigns did the...

Recycling: The Over-trodden Road to Salvation: If you recycle just because it feels good, you should feel bad.
Recycling can seem like the road to ecological salvation, but the problems it solves and the solutions it offers are often wildly exaggerated.
Media Release – Thinking Sensibly About Recycling and the Environment: The Frontier Centre challenges misconceptions about size of the problem recycling addresses
Recycling has become the balm du jour for the environmental concerns of landfill overflow, resource extraction, and resource scarcity. However looking quantitatively at the magnitudes of these problems and the real potential for recycling to alleviate them suggests we shouldn’t push the recycling policy button as enthusiastically as we currently do.

The Day Global Warming Stood Still
It will be a very cold winter of discontent for the warm-mongers. The climate show-and-tell in Copenhagen next month will be nothing more than a meaningless carbon-emitting jaunt, unable to decide just whom to blame or how to divvy up the profitable spoils of climate change hysteria.
Copenhagen Will Fail – And Quite Right Too: Even if the science was reliable (which it isn’t), we should not force the world’s poorest countries to cut carbon emissions
Mr Brown’s Copenhagen objective will, happily, not be achieved. But the meeting will still be declared a great success. Politicians do not like being associated with failure, so they will make sure that whatever emerges from Copenhagen is declared a success, and promise to meet again next year. This will at least give our political leaders the time to get themselves off the hook.
Gore’s Manipulation Allowed By Mainstream Media Climate Change Bias – Continues With CRU
How much longer will Al Gore get a pass from the mainstream media? A little bit longer if their failure to react to the devastating revelations of files hacked from the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia is a measure. Their behavior reflects how most have abetted the scientists who deliberately perverted climate science.
Frontier posts College of Physicians and Surgeons investigation of wrongly alleged “cancer epidemic” in oilsands.
In 2006, Dr. John O’Connor, a Nova Scotia physician then working in Fort Chipewyan, Alberta, alleged that an epidemic of cancer was occurring in northern Alberta—and because of the oilsands operations there. In light of this, Frontier has decided to post the November 4, 2009 College of Physicians and Surgeons investigation of Dr. O’Connor.
Suzuki Report Provides Honest Environmental Advocacy: Study confirms that emission cuts will cost billions
The Suzuki/Pembina greenhouse gas report recognizes that significant greenhouse gas reductions cannot be achieved without substantial costs in terms of lost economic growth.
