Please join us on May 9th for our Friends of Science 14th Annual Speaker Event. We are pleased to announce a two-part event - Policy and Science. Deadline to order tickets is May 1st, 2017.
For the Policy – Robert Lyman, Ottawa energy consultant and former public servant will examine the question “Can Canada Survive Climate Change POLICY? In essence, the Trudeau government's goal is to reduce Canada's GHG emissions from 733 megatons (Mt) in 2014 (the most recent year for which data is available) to 516 Mt in 2030 (i.e. 13 years from now) and 147 Mt in 2050 (i.e. 33 years from now). Most provincial governments support these goals. If Canada follows through, the economy would be reduced to that of Chad.
For the Science – Steve Goreham, MS/EE, MBA, author and speaker will discuss “Climate Science and the Myths of Renewable Energy.” Today’s society lives in the grip of a madness—the belief that humans are causing dangerous climate change. Melting ice caps, rising oceans, stronger storms, droughts and floods, and species extinction are blamed on greenhouse gas emissions from our industry. But contrary to what your political leader, professor, and newspaper tell you, global warming is dominated by natural factors. As a result, thousands of climate and energy laws across hundreds of nations, all summed together, are not going to have a measurable effect on Earth’s temperatures.
Steve Goreham will be selling his latest books at this event for $20 each, cash only.
These presentations are designed for the general public. No special economics or climate science knowledge required.
