Certain to spark a debate here I am sure.

A 23-minute video has been prepared by the University of Calgary in co-operation with the non-profit Friends of Science Society that deserves to be seen by all Canadians.

A succession of scientists in Canada, the U.S., Germany, New Zealand, Finland, Russia, Norway, etc., insist there is "absolutely no convincing scientific evidence that human-produced greenhouse gasses, specifically carbon dioxide, is having a significant impact on global climate."

To the contrary, carbon dioxide is essential for life, is not toxic and comprises barely 4% of greenhouse gases.

Since the U.S. rejects Kyoto and the protocol doesn't apply to India or China, Kyoto is already a failure, even if the science were true. Instead, Kyoto is an instrument to redistribute wealth from rich to poor countries in the guise of saving humanity.

Worthington article

Now, here I am thinking this is new news... but nope, upon researching it, two weeks ago, our own Calgary Sun writer Licia Corbella references it.

But the release Wednesday of their highly informative and science-based video received not a peep by the media sheep who continue to parrot ignorant politicians and environmentalists who are preparing to waste billions of dollars on something that is not a risk while real environmental problems get swept aside and human catastrophes, like the AIDS epidemic in Africa, remain ignored and underfunded.

Corbella article

I have found links to the video discussed. It is broken into 5 sections. Worth watching for certain.
