The Ontario PC candidate for Carleton said she doesn’t believe climate change is man-made at an all-candidates forum in the south Ottawa community of Greely Wednesday night.
…
“I believe climate change is real. I don’t believe climate change is man-made and I certainly don’t believe that the people of Carleton are at fault for climate change,” she said.
Almost all climate scientists agree that human activity is the driving force in climate change.
I am so disappointed to hear this. I thought she was one of the non-crazy ones.
“I believe climate change is real. I don’t believe climate change is man-made and I certainly don’t believe that the people of Carleton are at fault for climate change,”
Well Goldie, It is real and yes we caused it, this is just preaching to the choir.
We need real solutions based on solid science, and we need politicians with the guts to stand up and make tough decisions, not just for the next 4 years but for many years to come.
I fear this is lacking in many politicians today.
The CBC reporter who wrote this story obviously knows little about the facts surrounding the man made climate debate. It is constantly repeated and accepted as axiomatic that almost all scientist agree that man made inputs are driving climate change. This is false. Among scientists climate change skepticism is becoming the majority report. Science should be driving this debate but it is not. It is ideology, environmental activism, politicians, the media and funding dependent faculty science that are pushing this climate change narrative. There has been too much weight given to mathematical models that are not being borne out by actual observations. Indeed the models are often wildly inaccurate. Science is showing more and more that there is nothing catastrophic in today’s climate change nor any need for alarm. Ghamari has demonstrated that she has researched the issue and has the intellectual integrity to be above spouting the “approved narrative” of this new climate religion in which facts just don’t matter – indeed they are offensive. Good on you Ghamari.
Everything you wrote, while it sounds intelligent, appears to be made up. The earth just had it’s 400th consecutive warmest month on record, and is warming at a rate much much faster than before.
The observations and data to bear out what the models predict.
If Goldie’s plan is to continue to prop up fossil fuels and unabated carbon output, and it looks to be the case, the the rest of the world will come up with, and profit from solutions to this very real problem. I’d rather progress and innovative solutions come from Ontario.
Sadly, it looks like too many in this province believe what they want to, rather than what is true.
