My new documentary online

The Environment: A True Story is now available on YouTube in shorter chapters as well as the full film. I'm pleased to say the complete documentary has already had over 1200 views in just over a week which for a 160 minute feature is very satisfying.

For those who find it more convenient to watch (or easier to keep track of where you've gotten to in it) in shorter segments it's also now posted as a YouTube playlist.

Riding the storm rhetorically not scientifically

In my latest National Post column I say blaming a recent increase in severe storms on man-made global warming is nonsense not because the explanation is wrong in its details but because there hasn't been an increase in severe storms to explain in the first place.

For more useful facts and logical theories about the climate see my new documentary The Environment: A True Story.

The Environment: A True Story is told

With great pleasure I announce the release of my latest documentary. The Environment: A True Story compares the claims of global warming alarmists with widely accepted facts about the past history and present state of the Earth.

Thanks to hundreds of backers who made it possible, it is now available free on YouTube. Backers should hear from me shortly about getting their copies. If you didn't back the project but would like to purchase a high-res ad-free digital copy or order a DVD it will soon be possible via my online store.

Thanks again to everyone who made it possible.

 

New options for staying in touch and helping out

The new website platform, which I hope you're enjoying for easier access to content, also makes it easier for you to stay in touch by signing up here for a daily roundup of new articles, videos and quotations delivered every morning at 7:00.

Also I know some people had issues with Patreon or Paypal. So I'm happy to announce a new support option, (using DonorBox which integrates readily with Stripe if you care) whose merits include that it works in Canadian dollars.

Thanks again to everyone who follows and backs my work. And do let me know what you think of the new options. (Hint: If you're not already a backer, click on the support link and make a pledge to get the full experience.)

 

Made it!

Yahoo! The Kickstarter campaign has closed and The Environment: A True Story is funded. Thanks to everyone who made it happen. I'll keep people posted as the production process unfolds. And if you meant to contribute but didn't get to it, I'm still happy to accept support by cheque or via PayPal; email me for details. But for now, a great big thank you to all our backers. I literally can't do it without you.

 

Still time to add your name

It's really exciting that The Environment: A True Story has made its basic funding target on Kickstarter and the project will definitely be going forward. If you've contributed, let me repeat how grateful I am. It's because of you that I'm able to proceed. And I do appreciate how many other worthy demands there are on your resources. If you haven't contributed, let me remind you that anyone who puts in any sum, even just $1 dollar, will be listed in the credits unless they request anonymity. Given the unpleasant rhetoric that accompanies the misleading science of the climate alarmists, it makes a difference to have people stand up against the sneering and be counted on the side of clarity and decency.

Look, if you're in a position to make a substantial contribution I'm keen to have it. We do have a stretch target and all sorts of things we'd like to include in the project if we can fit them into the budget. But regardless, if you want to take a stand, put in a dollar, or two, or ten between now and Sunday at 6 p.m. EDT and I'll be proud to add your name to the nearly 500 people already on the list of backers.

Thanks.

Remembering Vimy

On the eve of tomorrow's anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge it's good to see so much remembrance including the outstanding front portion of today's National Post. It was a pivotal Allied victory in the First World War partly for strategic reasons, partly for tactical ones and partly for psychological ones given how bleak things looked in the spring of 1917. It wasn't just important for Canada's sense of nationhood. The First World War, for all its horrors, was a necessary struggle for freedom and it was very important that the Allies won even if the victory was in significant measure squandered over the next two decades.

A reminder as the anniversary approaches that my documentary The Great War Remembered, which tries to explain and also to vindicate the war despite everything, is available free on YouTube.
