In my latest National Post column I tell Lisa Raitt that to express skepticism about man-made global warming then recoil from your own words with apparent horror is the worst imaginable way to do politics or make policy.

In BOE Report I ask why people who dismiss the Pope when he expounds Catholic doctrine are all ears when he recites dogma about climate change.

In BOE Report I say Nobel-prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz’ comparison of fighting climate change to World War III is unhappily appropriate since getting rid of fossil fuels would destroy our civilization just as World War III would have done. Which is why most of the drama is purely rhetorical as virtually none of our virtue-signaling politicians are willing to inflict such harm on purpose.

Oh look, a Maclean’s columnist calls me a “sophomoric… absent-minded, AFD defending, climate change denying Carrot Top” for defending free speech.
