AGENDA
• What is Climate Change
• CO2
• Land Management, Water and Air Quality
• The sensible environmentalist
• Justin Trudeau / Quebec Floods
• Antarctica temperatures
• True Facts
WHAT IS CLIMATE CHANGE
• a change in global or regional climate patterns, in particular a
change apparent from the mid to late 20th century onwards and
attributed largely to the increased levels of atmospheric carbon
dioxide produced by the use of fossil fuels.
WHAT IS CO2?
• Colorless, odorless, non-combustible greenhouse-gas that contributes to global
warming. Formed by complete combustion of fossil fuels (coal, charcoal, natural gas,
petroleum) and carbon containing products (such as wood), it is released also
through respiration by living organisms and by the gradual oxidation of organic
matter in soil. Although relatively non-hazardous, it can create lethal oxygen-
deficient environments in high concentrations (specially in confined spaces). It is
one of the greenhouse gases and, since over the last 200 years its concentration in
upper atmosphere has increased from 270 parts per million (PPM) to 350 ppm, it is
said to be the cause of changes in global climatic patterns.

IMPORTANCE OF CO2
• Literally thousands of laboratory and field experiments have conclusively
demonstrated that enriching the air with carbon dioxide stimulates the growth
and development of nearly all plants. They have also revealed that higher-than-
normal CO2 concentrations dramatically enhance the efficiency with which
plants utilize water, sometimes as much as doubling it in response to a doubling
of the air's CO2 content. These CO2-induced improvements typically lead to the
development of more extensive and active root systems, enabling plants to
more thoroughly explore larger volumes of soil in search of the things they
need. Consequently, even in soils lacking sufficient water and nutrients for good
growth at today's CO2 concentrations, plants exposed to the elevated
atmospheric CO2 levels expected in the future generally show remarkable
increases in vegetative productivity, which should enable them to successfully
colonize low-rainfall areas that are presently too dry to support more than
isolated patches of desert vegetation.
CANADA MAY ALREADY BE CARBON NEUTRAL, SO WHY ARE
WE KEEPING IT A SECRET?

EMITTERS / CO2
• Nothing is said about
how much CO2 is also
being absorbed by
countries through
water and land
• Canada, Russia and
Argentina have large
forests as such they
absorb CO2
• USA also has masses
of forests that also
absorb CO2

THE RESPONSIBLE ENVIRONMENTALIST
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Smhn1gL6Xg&t=431s
• Former Greenpeace
director has show in his
video that there is no
indication that changes
in CO2 are man-made
• Earth is more influence
by sun sports and
distance to moon than it
is from CO2 in its
atmosphere.
ANTARCTICA

UNITED STATES – PARIS ACCORD CLIMATE
• http://www.canadianmanufacturing.com/environment-and-safety/u-s-quits-paris-climate-deal-doesnt-look-good-earth-194114/
President Donald Trump, who once proclaimed global warming a Chinese
hoax, said in a tweet May 28 that he would make his “final decision” this
week on whether the United States stays in or leaves the 2015 Paris
climate change accord in which nearly every nation agreed to curb its
greenhouse gas emissions.
JUSTIN TRUDEAU – FLOODS – QUEBEC

climate change for the
floods in PQ

CARBON TAX / MYTH
• It is pretty sad that we have so many people believing the pro-climate people than others sources, why? How of those same
people do not know how Tides? http://www.tides.org/. Tide.org is pushing funding up to stop the oil sands, why?
http://habledash.com/political-insight/254-the-tides-foundation-the-heart-of-the-radical-left. It appears me this
organization has done some backing for Obama?
• Yet there are no comments from people to why the Greenpeace director spoke out about radical views of Greenpeace, why?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cA6WZ4SX_-0
• Yet we have people like Butts that will start at nothing to have no carbon in Canada:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrdSCKDR5-Y. JT does support keystone http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViTIdnDJPj0
• So, where do the LPC stand on oil shipments? It appears to me that LPC only interested in pipelines that do not touch LPC
held areas!!
• Here is what leading scientist said about UN and Climate Change:

BRITISH COLUMBIA – CARBON TAX
• https://www.fraserinstitute.org/blogs/bc-budget-acknowledges-the-carbon-tax-was-not-revenue-
neutral
Our recent study examining British Columbia’s “revenue neutral” carbon tax found that, contrary to
the provincial government’s promise, the carbon tax was not revenue neutral and had actually raised
taxes on British Columbians.
While the government initially dismissed our findings, Tuesday’s budget essentially acknowledges the
carbon tax wasn’t in fact revenue neutral and takes steps to correct the problem.
Fraser Institute – February 22, 2017
WHY CARBON TAX DON’T WORK
• https://www.therebel.media/why_trudeau_s_carbon_tax_won_t_work
AUSTERITY IS ONLY WAY TO REDUCE GLOBAL
WARMING
• http://www.lfpress.com/2017/04/20/austerity-only-real-way-to-reduce-global-
warminghttp://www.lfpress.com/2017/04/20/austerity-only-real-way-to-reduce-global-warming
All forms of carbon pricing are cash grabs by government unless they
succeed in changing human behavior.
Carbon taxes and cap and trade (a carbon tax by another name) do
nothing to address man-made global warming on their own.
They are failures unless they succeed in moving human behaviour
toward voluntary austerity.
FACTS
• CO2 is not pollutant, but the building block for life on Earth
• There is lack of both freshwater and clean water in the world. Water is key to life on the
planet
• Countries like China and India are using cheap acidic coal as well as poor scrubbers as part of
the air quality issues
• Many countries do an abysmal job when it comes to managing the economy and
environment
• CO2 gets all the attention, because it is easy to blame business. Yet water quality, air quality
and proper land management are all but ignored by scientist
• There is no consensus that climate change on the planet is being led by man-made action.
The planet goes through cycles based on the sun and the moon.
• Governments have done a poor job on areas like forest management, land management and
water treatment.
• Clean technology companies struggle to turn a profit
• There is no infinite source of rare metals, lithium and vanadium. Clean technology relies on
raw materials

Climate change - Man-Made or not - Study of CO2 and Greenhouse Gases

  • 1. CLIMATE CHANGE – MAN- MADE OR OT PAUL YOUNG CPA, CGA MAY 31, 2017
  • 2. PAUL YOUNG - BIO • CPA, CGA • Financial Solutions • SME – Risk Management • SME – Close, Consolidate and Reporting • SME – Public Policy • SME – Financial Solutions • SME – Supply Chain Management Contact information: Paul_Young_CGA@Hotmail.com
  • 3. AGENDA • What is Climate Change • CO2 • Land Management, Water and Air Quality • The sensible environmentalist • Justin Trudeau / Quebec Floods • Antarctica temperatures • True Facts
  • 4. WHAT IS CLIMATE CHANGE • a change in global or regional climate patterns, in particular a change apparent from the mid to late 20th century onwards and attributed largely to the increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide produced by the use of fossil fuels.
  • 5. WHAT IS CO2? • Colorless, odorless, non-combustible greenhouse-gas that contributes to global warming. Formed by complete combustion of fossil fuels (coal, charcoal, natural gas, petroleum) and carbon containing products (such as wood), it is released also through respiration by living organisms and by the gradual oxidation of organic matter in soil. Although relatively non-hazardous, it can create lethal oxygen- deficient environments in high concentrations (specially in confined spaces). It is one of the greenhouse gases and, since over the last 200 years its concentration in upper atmosphere has increased from 270 parts per million (PPM) to 350 ppm, it is said to be the cause of changes in global climatic patterns. Source - http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/carbon-dioxide-CO2.html
  • 6. IMPORTANCE OF CO2 • Literally thousands of laboratory and field experiments have conclusively demonstrated that enriching the air with carbon dioxide stimulates the growth and development of nearly all plants. They have also revealed that higher-than- normal CO2 concentrations dramatically enhance the efficiency with which plants utilize water, sometimes as much as doubling it in response to a doubling of the air's CO2 content. These CO2-induced improvements typically lead to the development of more extensive and active root systems, enabling plants to more thoroughly explore larger volumes of soil in search of the things they need. Consequently, even in soils lacking sufficient water and nutrients for good growth at today's CO2 concentrations, plants exposed to the elevated atmospheric CO2 levels expected in the future generally show remarkable increases in vegetative productivity, which should enable them to successfully colonize low-rainfall areas that are presently too dry to support more than isolated patches of desert vegetation.
  • 7. CANADA MAY ALREADY BE CARBON NEUTRAL, SO WHY ARE WE KEEPING IT A SECRET? Source - http://business.financialpost.com/fp-comment/canada-may-already-be-carbon-neutral-so-why-are-we-keeping-it-a-secret
  • 8. EMITTERS / CO2 • Nothing is said about how much CO2 is also being absorbed by countries through water and land • Canada, Russia and Argentina have large forests as such they absorb CO2 • USA also has masses of forests that also absorb CO2 http://www.globalcarbonatlas.org/en/CO2-emissions
  • 9. THE RESPONSIBLE ENVIRONMENTALIST • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Smhn1gL6Xg&t=431s • Former Greenpeace director has show in his video that there is no indication that changes in CO2 are man-made • Earth is more influence by sun sports and distance to moon than it is from CO2 in its atmosphere.
  • 11. UNITED STATES – PARIS ACCORD CLIMATE • http://www.canadianmanufacturing.com/environment-and-safety/u-s-quits-paris-climate-deal-doesnt-look-good-earth-194114/ President Donald Trump, who once proclaimed global warming a Chinese hoax, said in a tweet May 28 that he would make his “final decision” this week on whether the United States stays in or leaves the 2015 Paris climate change accord in which nearly every nation agreed to curb its greenhouse gas emissions.
  • 12. JUSTIN TRUDEAU – FLOODS – QUEBEC • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeON1-b2N-4 PM Trudeau blame climate change for the floods in PQ
  • 13. CLIMATE CHANGE - HOAX • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zFJ3whlioU
  • 14. CARBON TAX / MYTH • It is pretty sad that we have so many people believing the pro-climate people than others sources, why? How of those same people do not know how Tides? http://www.tides.org/. Tide.org is pushing funding up to stop the oil sands, why? http://habledash.com/political-insight/254-the-tides-foundation-the-heart-of-the-radical-left. It appears me this organization has done some backing for Obama? • Yet there are no comments from people to why the Greenpeace director spoke out about radical views of Greenpeace, why? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cA6WZ4SX_-0 • Yet we have people like Butts that will start at nothing to have no carbon in Canada: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrdSCKDR5-Y. JT does support keystone http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViTIdnDJPj0 • So, where do the LPC stand on oil shipments? It appears to me that LPC only interested in pipelines that do not touch LPC held areas!! • Here is what leading scientist said about UN and Climate Change: http://www.sunnewsnetwork.ca/sunnews/canada/archives/2014/12/20141213-105217.html • Or • http://notrickszone.com/2014/12/12/harvard-astrophysicist-2014-hottest-year-claim-a-prostitution-of-science-global- warming-sorrowfully-exaggerated/ • Ocean Trends - http://www.cfact.org/2014/12/22/what-if-obamas-climate-change-policies-are-based-on-phraud/ • The Weather Channel - http://viral.buzz/video-there-is-no-global-warming-says-founder-and-former-ceo-of-the-weather- channel/ • Here is the BC results of their Carbon Tax • http://blogs.theprovince.com/2014/12/04/kenneth-green-carbon-taxes-take-big-bite-out-of-your-wallet/
  • 15. BRITISH COLUMBIA – CARBON TAX • https://www.fraserinstitute.org/blogs/bc-budget-acknowledges-the-carbon-tax-was-not-revenue- neutral Our recent study examining British Columbia’s “revenue neutral” carbon tax found that, contrary to the provincial government’s promise, the carbon tax was not revenue neutral and had actually raised taxes on British Columbians. While the government initially dismissed our findings, Tuesday’s budget essentially acknowledges the carbon tax wasn’t in fact revenue neutral and takes steps to correct the problem. Fraser Institute – February 22, 2017
  • 16. WHY CARBON TAX DON’T WORK • https://www.therebel.media/why_trudeau_s_carbon_tax_won_t_work
  • 17. AUSTERITY IS ONLY WAY TO REDUCE GLOBAL WARMING • http://www.lfpress.com/2017/04/20/austerity-only-real-way-to-reduce-global- warminghttp://www.lfpress.com/2017/04/20/austerity-only-real-way-to-reduce-global-warming All forms of carbon pricing are cash grabs by government unless they succeed in changing human behavior. Carbon taxes and cap and trade (a carbon tax by another name) do nothing to address man-made global warming on their own. They are failures unless they succeed in moving human behaviour toward voluntary austerity.
  • 18. FACTS • CO2 is not pollutant, but the building block for life on Earth • There is lack of both freshwater and clean water in the world. Water is key to life on the planet • Countries like China and India are using cheap acidic coal as well as poor scrubbers as part of the air quality issues • Many countries do an abysmal job when it comes to managing the economy and environment • CO2 gets all the attention, because it is easy to blame business. Yet water quality, air quality and proper land management are all but ignored by scientist • There is no consensus that climate change on the planet is being led by man-made action. The planet goes through cycles based on the sun and the moon. • Governments have done a poor job on areas like forest management, land management and water treatment. • Clean technology companies struggle to turn a profit • There is no infinite source of rare metals, lithium and vanadium. Clean technology relies on raw materials
