Life. Liberty. Property.

"The reputation of science and scientific thinking has been severely damaged by the

whole climate debacle. It's fairly safe to say that the entire field has been in lockdown

for about thirty years because we're always forced to frame the discussion from the

point of view as set by ... activists. The damage done to scientific collegiality and

damage done to what we could have learned is enormous; it has set us back a generation." - Dr. Christopher Essex, Just Right Radio, April 14, 2016

Dear Members, Friends, and Supporters,

Since the very beginning of the politically fashionable objective of "fighting climate change," Freedom Party has steadfastly remained on course steering clear of political fashions, particularly this tragic one. Finding little evidence (even among all the offered "facts" and "statistics"), and even less rationality within the "consensus" about what is warming the planet - and what we should do about it, Freedom Party has never joined or supported the "fighting climate change" bandwagon. Simply put, it would have been irresponsible to do so. We would not have been able to justify such a position to ourselves, let alone to others.

Over the years since the "climate change" narrative took root, we have conducted much of our own research on the issue. Additionally, we approached many knowledgeable people on the subject. What we have conSistently learned has been very much the opposite of the official government narrative.

In Ontario, all of the parties in the legislature are firmly dedicated to "fighting climate change." To them, "fighting climate change" means "carbon pricing," restricting production, re-distributing wealth, and monopolizing Ontario's energy industry to be able to charge monopoly prices (at "cost" of course). They are in total agreement on these goals, and worse, they have been using what they call "science" to bolster their purely political agendas.

So what is "science" and what is not science? And why has this become a political question?

To help us answer that question, we are honoured to feature none other than Dr. Christopher Essex, Professor of Applied Mathematics at the University of Western Ontario as our keynote speaker on October 29 in London. His enclosed credentials on this issue more than explain why he's the one to turn to for an answer to that question. So for those who would like to hear the "other" side of the climate change monologue, make Saturday October 29 your opportunity to do so.

YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED to join us for dinner and to MEET DR CHRISTOPHER ESSEX: SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29,2016

Today, the very notion of embracing climate change and what it implies is beyond being "politically incorrect"; it is outright political heresy. But embracing climate change is not necessarily about "doing nothing." Unfortunately, alternatives to the government's current course of action on climate change are discouraged from being discussed to a point where differing voices on the issue have been labeled climate change "deniers", among other silencing-the-debate labeling tactics.

"Fighting climate change" is a loser's game, and everyone eventually loses. So let's stop "fighting." Instead, let's consider embracing climate change. We can accept it and then adapt, when necessary, and only if necessary. No losers. Just winners.

It is now 2016, fourteen years after the publication (2002) of Taken By Storm: The Troubled Science, Policy, and Politics of Global Warming. Co-authored by Dr. Christopher Essex and Professor Ross McKitrick, the book clearly placed them on the official list of climate change "deniers."

How sad that such common sense has today become politicized to the point where even having a discussion on the topic is an act of heresy.

How fortunate that there is a Freedom Party, where open discussion on all of the most controversial issues is the norm, and where knowledgeable and informed guests are encouraged to speak - freely.

Make Saturday October 29 your opportunity to hear our keynote speaker, Dr Christopher Essex, as he demonstrates what he calls the "crucial art of scientific heresy."

As is our long-standing tradition, master of ceremonies Robert Vaughan will kick off the evening with Freedom Party's traditional toast to freedom. After dinner, you'll be treated to a delightful evening of entertainment and heretical talk about "politicians, apocalypse, and supernovas."

I look forward to hearing from you soon - and to seeing everyone on October 29.

Yours in freedom, Robert Metz

President, Freedom Party of Ontario

80st Wes1em Plus lampiighter Inn - London Ontano

It would be difficult to find a more experienced and well-informed guest on the

subject of climate change - and its politicization - than ~ ~

~, who has experienced the phenomenon personally. Chris' widely recog­nized work in the field of applied mathematics, fluid dynamics, climate change and more (see reverse), provides ample evidence suggesting why this has become a personal issue for him.

Under the umbrella of his provocative theme, "Politicians, Apocalypse, and Supernovas," Chris plans to share some of his thoughts on the contrast between "apocalypse as political fashion" and "real apocalypse and the fragility of our world."

"High virtue is no countermeasure," he warns, as if to emphasize the chasm between the "political mind and the scientific mind."

A long-time skeptic about the politics of climate change, Dr Christopher Essex co­

authored his 2002 book, Taken By Storm: The Troubled Science, Policy, and Politics of Global Warming, with another well known 'climate skeptic', Professor Ross McKitrick. Each has continued to create a storm of controversy whenever expressing their informed views about a highly misunderstood issue. Join us for dinner and a stimulating evening of conversational heresy - one that separates the science from the politics. Doors open at 6 pm. Great food, great company, great ideas. Don't miss it!

See you at the Lamplighter Inn in London on October 29!

~ ~ is a provincial ex­ecutive member of Freedom Party, and has served as Master of Ceremonies for several past Freedom Party dinners and events. Rob­ert also creates many of the video produc­tions that have documented and recorded FP's dinner and campaign events.

"Embrace it; don't fight it!" says Freedom Party leader ~

(i;):::GJoo~ when speaking of "climate change." Express­ing yet another view considered heresy in Ontario's world of Wynne power, Paul will make it clear that "fighting climate change" is not on FP's political agenda - and why. Accepting and adapting to climate change have been the rejected ap­proaches to the imagined apocalypse.

Robert served two terms as Public School Trustee on the London Board of Education and the Thames Valley District School Board. He and FP president Robert Metz co-host the weekly radio show Just Right, which broadcasts weekly around the world and is heard on­line. Dr. Essex has been a frequent guest of the show.

Nor will 'carbon pricing' ad­dress climate change or better governance. What is required is an alternative to the carbon copy policies of the three parties in the legislature: Freedom Party.

Dr. Christopher Essex is Professor of Applied Mathematics at the University of Western Ontario. He is a former director of its Theoretical Physics Program and a former Associate Chair of Applied Mathematics.

He did pioneering work on the thermodynamics of photon and neutrino radiation. He made olle of the first correct estimates of the entropy production rate of the Earth, and with D.C. Kennedy and R.S. Berry he computed the first. correct peak temperatures for laser radiation. Among many international invitations to speak on these topics, he has taught at the UNESCO advanced school in Udine, Italy, his work was fea­tured at the Joint European Thermodynamics Conference held in Chemnitz, Germany. Professor Essex is co-discoverer with K.H. HoHmann of the entropy prodUCtiOll paradox, arising in the context of anomalous superuiHusion. He also discovered , while a guest of the Vatican, modern mathematics (Sierpinski

triangles) embedded in t.he ancient floor tiles of the Sistine Chapel and elsewhere in the Vatican museum, a discovery he presented at the Pontifical Academy of Sciences.

His work also includes applications of dynamical systems theory, such as chaos cryptography. With Weiguang Yao and Pei Yu, he helped to invent the method of "competitive modes" which has become a standard in the search for chaotic domains of complex dynamical systems. He has also worked on the limits' of modelling and computation, among other applications of mathematics. By invitation, he has organized and participated in meetings held in Erice, Sicily of the World Federation of Scientists (WFS), which is based out of CERN. He has co-chaired sessions there with Antonino Zichichi and Nobel Laureate T.D. Lee and he became Chair of the WFS's Permanent Monitoring Panel for Climate in 2011. In 2012, as Chair, he hosted Dr. Vaclav Klaus, President of the Czech Republic, as a guest of the panel meeting. In 2016 he became Chairman of the Academic Advisory Council of the Global Warming Policy Foundation.

Professor Essex held an NSERC (Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada) postdoctoral fellowship at the Canadian Climate Centre to work on its (GCM) climate model. He built his first computer climate model in the 1970's. He held an Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellowship in Frankfurt, Germany. He was a sabbaticant at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, Denmark, supported by a Danish National Bank foreign academics program. There he worked on the thermodynamics of the citric cycle in mitochondria, and its connection to fuel cells.

He is an award-winning teacher and a recipient, with Ross McKitrick, of the $10,000 Donner Prize in 2002, for the book Taken by Storm: The Troubled Science , Policy, and Politics of Global Warming, which had a second edition in 2007. That book was a finalist for the 2002 Canadian Science Writers ' Book Award. Also , in 2007 he was a featured speaker and panellist at the Chicago Humanities Festival. He is coauthor , with Robert Adams, of Calculus: A Complete Course, 8th edition- a fresh take on applications beyond traditional treatments. He was first appointed by the Canadian Governor General to the governing council of NSERC in 2006 and reappointed in 2009. NSERC is a billion-dollar government corporation that funds fundamental research in Canada. He became the first (US) Phi Beta Kappa Visiting Scholar from a Canadian university in 2012.

Professor Essex has been mentioned by name on the floor of the Canadian federal Parliament; he has a blessing from the Vatican, his work has been cited on the floor of the US Senate, and he has lectured at the British House of Lords. Both Freeman Dyson and the late Leslie Woods personally advised him in the much-misunderstoou but crucial art of scientific heresy.
