“unlike traditional commodities, which sometimes during the course of their market exchange must be delivered to someone in physical form, the carbon market is based on the lack of delivery of an invisible substance to no one.”

Mark Schapiro (apparently) in Harper’s in early 2010 [I found it here https://www.integrity-research.com/wanted-independent-research-to-assess-carbon-offsets/ but the link back to Harper’s is broken, as is a similar link in another piece quoting it; perhaps Harper’s pulled it; this piece attributes it to Mark Schapiro: https://www.reddeeradvocate.com/columns/air-travel-major-contributor-to-climate-change/].

In my latest National Post column I highlight the hypocrisy of Justin Trudeau about fighting global warming while having a huge carbon footprint, and climate alarmists generally about following “the science” while peddling junk numbers.

In my latest Epoch Times column I call the failure of the latest giant trendy COP 26 climate conference evidence of what happens when people who don’t grasp the existence of practical difficulties run into them anyway.

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.
