It is no longer global warming because it isn't.

It is climate change because it does.

Men are never so likely to settle a question rightly as when they discuss it freely.

— Thomas B. Macaulay (1800-1859), Essay on Southey's Colloquies

All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

Carbon Taxes



Early detection and warnings save lives.

Cold kills more people than heat does.


Carbon taxes raise the price of the energy required to heat homes. Those on a limited budget will be affected to a greater extent.

For the USA as a whole, human mortality due to cold weather is more than sixteen times larger than that due to warm weather. And so it is that perhaps we should all pray for a little more global warming...

Canada’s carbon tax will cause more poor people to die prematurely and unnecessarily.


"The Earth has cancer and the cancer is Man." ~ Club of Rome

"...the resultant ideal sustainable population is hence more than 500 million people but less than one billion." ~ Club of Rome

"A reasonable estimate for an industrialized world society at the present North American material standard of living would be 1 billion. At the more frugal European standard of living, 2 to 3 billion would be possible." ~  UN Commission on Global Biodiversity Assessment

Is premature death the goal?

Friends of Science Society’s recent report “Just the Facts on Carbon Tax” thoroughly demolishes arguments for a carbon tax. A blog post by Ottawa energy policy consultant, Robert Lyman, entitled: “Debunking Ecofiscal’s ‘Myths on Carbon Pricing” is one of the top viewed posts.
