In my latest National Post column I say the self-satisfied tone at the latest global warming alarmist confab in chilly Glasgow is a sign of how detached they are from economic as well as scientific reality.
Dr. Tammy Nemeth, of the “Nemeth Report” on international activists’ campaign against Alberta oil, interviewed me for her podcast on the Chinese Communist Party’s exploitation of western concerns about climate to further its sinister geopolitical ambitions.
On Alex Epstein’s “Power Hour” podcast we had an extended discussion of China’s geopolitical ambitions and how the Western obsession with “Net Zero” plays into the hands of a Politburo all too happy to keep using fossil fuels while we cripple ourselves by discarding them.
In my latest Epoch Times column I warn that a world where the West “decarbonizes” and Communist China does not would be a very unpleasant place for Canadian “running dogs” and others.
In my latest National Post column I say the decision by Warren Buffett to pull his $4 billion stake in a Quebec LNG plant, plus Teck abandoning its Frontier mine, is a scary and overdue intrusion of reality into the increasingly make-believe world of Canadian public policy.
In BOE Report I argue that even a would-be economically sensible defence of carbon taxes from the Ecofiscal Commission totally misses the key economic point that, because there are no good substitutes for gas, if you raise the price then give the money back in rebates people will use it to afford more expensive gas, and if you don’t give it back they’ll economize on other things to afford more expensive gas.
