CALGARY, Ala., Sept. 21, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- As reported by the Calgary Herald, Sept. 18, 2023, opening remarks by Jonathan Wilkinson, Canada's Minister of Natural Resources, pushing for fossil fuel phase out to stop climate change, was met with fierce rejection by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, says Friends of Science.

Key Points: 
  • Lyman's most recent report, " Let's Not Pursue "Peak Oil" – The Risks to Society of a Global Oil Shortfall Due to Climate Fear " addresses another popular topic at the World Petroleum Congress.
  • Only 7% of those polled are concerned about climate change, as discussed in this video explainer by Friends of Science Society.
  • Minister Wilkinson's push for NetZero is "Magical Thinking " that will not stop climate change, says Friends of Science Society.
  • It will cost Canada trillions of dollars, according to a Friends of Science assessment of the under-estimated Royal Bank Transition plan .

In one of the first documented incidents, the 1859 Carrington Event, an extreme solar flare caused telegraph systems to go haywire worldwide.

Key Points: 
  • In one of the first documented incidents, the 1859 Carrington Event, an extreme solar flare caused telegraph systems to go haywire worldwide.
  • Likewise the magnetism generated during Aurora Borealis events can damage electrical power grids and space satellites, as it did on March 1989 in Quebec, Canada.
  • "Solar events like the Aurora Borealis are created by what we call geomagnetic storms, which are caused by solar flare activity and solar winds.
  • There are a lot of knowledge gaps in how those disturbances affect the power grids in a renewable energy rich environment."
