CALGARY, Alberta, Feb. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "Elon Musk's Unbelievably Simple Killer Break Down on Climate Change" - a video released on Feb. 03, 2024, which promotes a carbon tax, is a failure, says Friends of Science Society. As reported by the CATO Institute on Feb. 08, 2024, the video's voice over recycles a speech Elon Musk gave at the Panthéon‐Sorbonne University in Paris, coincident to the Paris "COP21" Climate Conference in 2015.

Key Points: 
  • Elon Musk's video promoting the notion of a carbon tax as a means to mitigate climate change is a ''failure'' says Friends of Science Society, referring to Canada's disastrous experience with carbon tax and inflation.
  • CALGARY, Alberta, Feb. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- " Elon Musk's Unbelievably Simple Killer Break Down on Climate Change " - a video released on Feb. 03, 2024, which promotes a carbon tax, is a failure, says Friends of Science Society.
  • Numerous academics and economists back the carbon tax as 'the solution' to climate change, but Friends of Science Society calls this " CarbonTax – a-philia : Unnatural Love of Carbon Taxes for No Reason."
  • Friends of Science Society says Canada's experience with carbon tax and rebate shows the method fails to reduce emissions while simultaneously driving up inflation.

CALGARY, Alberta, Oct. 3rd, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In a surprising Bloomberg interview of Sept. 29, 2023, at the Berlin Global Dialogue forum, Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager and decarbonization advocate, said "Hydrocarbons are going to be with us for a long, long time and that's why we are working with energy companies, not against energy companies. That is why we said, 'do not ever divest of hydrocarbons'," bringing much-needed energy reality to the global conversation, says Friends of Science Society.

Key Points: 
  • That is why we said, 'do not ever divest of hydrocarbons'," bringing much-needed energy reality to the global conversation, says Friends of Science Society.
  • Friends of Science says this message should hit home with the Canadian Senators for Climate who are trying to introduce a Climate Finance bill to choke off investment for fossil fuels .
  • This fear was confirmed by the Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO), at a press conference on Sept. 28, 2023.
  • Dr. Clark will be one of Friends of Science Society's guest speakers at their upcoming Oct. 17, 2023 event in Calgary - "Break Free from Climate Tyranny: Evidence Over Ideology."

Politico reported Sept. 7, 2023, that Germany's gas boiler ban nearly destroyed Olaf Scholz's coalition government, but with staggering implementation costs for consumers, the people are saying 'no.' Sweden, long the bastion of climate neutrality and home to Greta Thunberg, abandoned its 100% renewable policy in June, as reported by the Western Standard, opening the door to more nuclear power.

Key Points: 
  • In the UK, Sweden and Germany, governments are making a U-turn from stringent NetZero policies as taxpayers clamor for relief, says Friends of Science Society.
  • The Sunak government in the UK is making a U-turn on climate policies, as reported by [The Guardian , Sept. 21, 2023.
  • A new documentary hosted by Kim Monson titled " A Climate Conversation " gives viewers a calm and nuanced understanding of climate science and a clear understanding of the astounding costs of proposed NetZero climate policy measures.

CALGARY, Alberta, June 28, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Catastrophic climate change proclamations by UN Sec. Gen. Antonio Guterres such as his March 23, 2023 statement that 'climate change is making earth uninhabitable' were given another blow as CLINTEL issued "The Frozen Views of Climate of the IPCC" on May 25, 2023, says Friends of Science Society. CLINTEL's assessment of the latest reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reveals that there is no climate emergency. Media and officials like UN Sec. Gen. Guterres have been misleading the public with statements like "Code Red for humanity" when this is not what the IPCC Working Group I Physical Sciences report says. See CLINTEL's open letter to Dr. Hoesung Lee.

Key Points: 
  • CLINTEL's assessment of the latest reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reveals that there is no climate emergency.
  • As the climate house of cards crumbles, efforts are being made to criminalize climate dissent as explained in this Friends of Science video .
  • Friends of Science Society produced a video challenging the Bank of Canada on its first climate risk assessment report, incorporating Weinkle's findings.

Key Points: 
  • As protests erupt at Apple's Foxconn production facility in China, the hypocrisy of 'environment, social, governance' (ESG) accounting is exposed, says Friends of Science Society.
  • "The current defense du jour of ESG is that it's not a politicized investment strategy but, rather, a simple risk-assessment tool.

Key Points: 
  • Qatar has warned the energy crisis may go on for years, as reported by the Financial Times .
  • According to the International Energy Agency , natural gas accounts for about a quarter of global electricity generation fuel.

CALGARY, Alberta, Nov. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- As reported by EuroActiv on Nov. 10, 2022, the EU and US pushed back on the climate reparations related to COP27 negotiations; now preposterous 'loss and damage' claims by developing nations have spiraled into the trillions, as reported by CFACT, Nov. 16, 2022, meaning that COP27 is flailing and failing, says Friends of Science Society. Western nations have never even met their Green Climate Fund annual commitment of $100 billion/yr., promised at the 2015 COP-21 Paris Agreement as an inducement to developing nations.

Key Points: 
  • Climate negotiations at the Sharm El-Sheikh COP27 conference are failing to meet expectations as developing nations up their 'loss and damage' demands into the trillions says Friends of Science Society.
  • Climate catastrophe narrative falls apart as does the 'green' future in the face of the energy crisis.

CALGARY, Alberta, Nov. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --  As reported by the National Observer, Nov. 08, 2022, the UN High Level Expert Group (HLEG) led by Catherine McKenna, claims to outline a credible plan to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions to prevent greenwashing, but Friends of Science says the UN HLEG forgot to do a feasibility study; a Finnish materials study by Simon Michaux renders the UN greenwashing report moot and a 'boom and fizzle.' Friends of Science Society expresses concern over the evermore tyrannical tone of demands for mandatory reporting and NetZero compliance, when it is a physical impossibility.

Key Points: 
  • Friends of Science Society expresses concern over the evermore tyrannical tone of demands for mandatory reporting and NetZero compliance, when it is a physical impossibility.
  • Friends of Science have issued an Open Letter to the Competition Bureau exposing the fallacy of the charges, one fact being that NetZero targets are unattainable, confirmed by Simon Michaux's comprehensive study.
