• “After writing 10 columns on the subject, one for each ‘denier’ and his theories, one fact is undeniable: The science is not settled. Not on man’s role in causing the warming we’ve seen this century. Not on the consequences of this warming. Certainly not on the extent of warming — or cooling— to come.”

• “The alignment of the planets, and especially that of Jupiter and Saturn, control the climate on Earth.”

• “The sun’s increased irradiance over the last century, not C02 emissions, is responsible for the global warming we’re seeing, says the celebrated scientist [ Habibullo Abdussamatov ], and this solar irradiance also explains the great volume of C02 emissions”

• “The short version: It’s CO2 to the rescue. The more of it in the atmosphere, the better the Amazon’s chance of survival.”

Key Quotes

• “Several renowned scientists have been predicting for some time that the world could enter a period of cooling right around now, with consequences that could be dire.”

• “Coal used to be a very dirty fuel but coal has become cleaner and cleaner over the decades. Clean coal now is quite clean. Clean coal now has the same emissions profile as natural gas. Clean coal can become cleaner still. We can take even more of the pollutants out of coal and I believe we should. Clean coal, I think, is the immediate answer to Canada’s energy needs and the world’s energy needs. There are hundreds of years available of coal supplies. We shouldn’t be squandering that resource. We should be using it prudently.”
