Chapter 01 / 04
What Net Zero would cost Canada, who is pushing it, and why the flagship projects disappoint.
01/ 12
Tom Harris compares Net Zero to medieval bloodletting and runs through the cost estimates, from RBC and the federal budget to Ross McKitrick, McKinsey, and the Copenhagen Consensus. His point: even that spending wouldn’t reach the 2050 target.
02/ 12
In a recorded talk, Michelle Stirling traces how foreign funding of environmental groups, Bill C-69, financial institutions, and carbon markets lock Canada into Net Zero, and describes Friends of Science’s letters to OSFI on the RCP 8.5 scenario.
03/ 12
Ron Barmby predicts trouble for Nova Scotia’s Wind West project for three reasons: intermittent power costs the grid more, the environmental impacts (birds, whales, landfilled blades) are unresolved, and energy security is put at risk, as Germany learned in 2021–22.
Chapter 02 / 04
What the physics, the temperature record, and the emissions data actually show.
04/ 12
Professor van Wijngaarden walks through the hard data — greenhouse gas physics, observed temperature trends, Arctic ice, wildfires, hurricanes, ocean acidification, and crop yields — and asks whether the observations actually justify Net Zero policy.
05/ 12
Ken Gregory re-runs the ‘social cost of carbon’ with observation-based climate sensitivity and finds a net benefit from CO₂, around $7–10 per tonne, against Environment Canada’s $271 per tonne cost.
06/ 12
Joining remotely from Texas, Dr. Sterling Burnett exposes how temperature stations are compromised by urban heat and how ‘homogenized’ data distorts the record, plus an update on the legislative situation in the United States.
07/ 12
Dr. Joseph Fournier compares biogenic methane from Alberta’s wetlands and agriculture against oil & gas fugitive emissions, and asks whether Canada’s methane regulations target the right source.
Chapter 03 / 04
How climate policy reaches the grocery bill, and the case against blaming beef.
08/ 12
Canada’s food inflation is the highest in the G7, and carbon pricing weighs on the whole agri-food chain, according to two studies from Sylvain Charlebois’s lab. Climate change does threaten farming, he says, but Ottawa imposes these policies without planning for affordability or measuring their effect on the climate.
09/ 12
A Heartland Institute film made with Stossel TV: Linnea Lueken takes on the claim that beef is killing the planet, with the CO2 Coalition’s Greg Wrightstone and ranchers.
Chapter 04 / 04
Training volunteers, building allies at home and abroad, and taking the case to Québec.
10/ 12
Tom Harris recounts how his team took on Catherine McKenney’s climate plan in the 2022 Ottawa mayoral race with a report, interviews, flyers, and prepared debate questions, and lays out how CSCP’s Pathfinders will be trained to do the same.
11/ 12
James Taylor, President of the Heartland Institute, describes Heartland’s work abroad, from Poland’s Solidarity union to Heartland UK and a new office in Warsaw, and urges support for the Canadian Freedom Institute and its allies.
12/ 12
Joining remotely from Québec, Richard Décarie launches Réalisme Climatique, Canada’s first French-language climate-realism podcast, and explains why Québec, with its consumer carbon tax and natural-gas ban, is the primary battleground.
