Maybe the climate change science isn’t all that settled, after all, especially when it comes to climate models, writes University of Regina professor James Warren.
And if Newfoundland (which votes Liberal) does it, then drilling for oil isn’t so bad, now, is it, Minister Guilbeault?

Scandal-Plagued Stanford President Resigns…
Following the Stanford Daily’s initial report about manipulated studies last November, the college’s board formed a special committee, led by former federal prosecutor Carol Lam, to review the claims. The committee then engaged former Illinois federal judge Mark Filip, and his law firm, Kirkland & Ellis, to conduct the review.
“I expect there may be ongoing discussion about the report and its conclusions, at least in the near term, which could lead to debate about my ability to lead the university into the new academic year,” said Tessier-Lavigne in a statement describing his reasons for resigning.
The university has named Richard Saller – a professor of European studies, as interim president, effective Sept. 1.
The panel’s report, which is 89-pages long, was based on more than 50 interviews and a review of more than 50,000 documents which concluded that members of Tessier-Lavigne’s labs engaged in inappropriate manipulation of research data or deficient scientific practices which resulted in significant flaws in five papers which listed Tessier-Lavigne as the lead author, the Times reports.
The panel found that in many instances, he took insufficient steps to correct mistakes, including the 2009 Alzheimer’s paper after subsequent studies revealed that its key finding was incorrect.

Water, wood, fire, earth and metal: James Lindsay describes a broad, comprehensive strategy for fighting Woke Marxism by analyzing it from the perspective of traditional five-element theory.
The left likes to treat skeptics of electrical cars as if they were Luddites. Truth is, making an existing product less efficient but more expensive doesn’t really meet the definition of innovation.
Even the purported amenities and technological advances EV-makers like to brag about in their ads have been a regular feature of gas-powered vehicles going back generations. At best, EVs, if they fulfill their promise, are a lateral technology.
Which is why there is no real “emerging market” for EVs in the United States as much as there’s an industrial policy in place that props up EVs with government purchases, propaganda, endless state subsidies, cronyism, taxpayer-backed loans, and edicts. The green “revolution” is an elite-driven, top-down technocratic project.
And it’s increasingly clear that the only reason giant rent-seeking carmakers are so heavily invested in EV development is that government is promising to artificially limit the production of gas-powered cars.[…]
In today’s real-world economy, though, Ford announced this week that it was firing at least 1,000 employees — many of them white-collar workers on the EV side. Ford projects it’s going to lose $3 billion on electric vehicles in 2023, bringing its EV losses to $5.1 billion over two years. In 2021, Ford reportedly lost $34,000 on every EV it made. This year it was losing more than $58,000 on every EV. In a normal world, Ford would be dramatically scaling back EV production, not expanding it. Remember that next time we need to bail out Detroit.
Then again, we’re already bailing them out, I suppose. Last week, the U.S. Energy Department lent Ford — again, a company that loses tens of thousands of dollars on every EV it sells — another $9.2 billion in taxpayer dollars for a South Korean battery project. One imagines no sane bank would do it. The cost of EV batteries has gone up, not down, over the past few years.
“He said, ‘Mom, look, they are teaching us about finger f****** at [elementary] school …”
Global News is reporting that it was an accident:
“The Kootenay Lake school district is issuing an apology to parents and providing counselling resources to students after a graphic sex education guide was mistakenly distributed to elementary school students last week.”
Note that the school board itself is not saying it was an accident.
A low on the totem pole public health department worker is just shrugging and saying she didn’t review the whole book. Whoops. No biggie.
There was no accident here, and the corrupt Trudeau-funded eunuch media of Canada is playing cover for dangerous child predators and perverts who are in positions of power and influence and who have easy and unfettered access to children.
They are in every element of public life and public policy in this country.

Stellantis NV and battery maker LG Energy Solution have halted construction on an electric vehicle battery plant in Windsor, Ont., claiming the federal government has not met its commitments to the project.
A spokesperson for automaker Stellantis said the companies are implementing contingency plans because “the Canadian government has not delivered on what was agreed to.”
“Effective immediately, all construction related to the battery module production on the Windsor site has stopped,” Lou Ann Gosselin said in an email.

A proposed 607-hectare solar farm is not coming to southern Alberta after provincial officials determined it could cause an increase in bird deaths at Frank Lake, an internationally-recognized bird habitat.
In a decision last week, the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) denied plans for the Foothills Solar Project, which would have consisted of a massive solar farm near High River, Alta., capable of generating up to 150 megawatts of power.
While the solar farm would potentially reduce greenhouse gasses in the province, the negative consequences of possible high bird mortality outweighed the potential benefits, said Geoff Scotton, an AUC spokesperson.
At this moment, Alberta’s existing 1179MW of solar is generating at 0.3% of capacity.

Our South Dakota custom cutter said he took six combines to Kiowa and the farmer there said he may not need any of them. A third of his crop is already zeroed out and in another 1-2 weeks, another third will be gone. The South Dakota cutter said we will probably be his only stop between the Gulf of Mexico and South Dakota. I told him we still had a crop but if it continues to not rain, we’ll start seeing severe drought stress showing up along with tiller abortion. Already this will be one of the shortest crops with headed-out wheat being less than 10 inches high.
We have poor numbers of tillers and they are weak and small and we could easily lose a lot of them. We should joint in mid-April. For this area and here on our farm, this will be one of the worst wheat crops in the past 50 years. We have farmed 48 years and aside from 1981, this has potential for being the worst.
The South Dakota cutter also said one of his custom cutter buddies who takes 12 combines to Stanton, Colorado, said there is nothing there. For extreme southwest Kansas, this year is just like last year −no dryland wheat at all. If it’s not irrigated, you have no wheat. Too, the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles are the same as last year with 80% abandonment.

I followed these storms in real time through storm chaser Youtube last night as a powerful wedge tornado plowed through nearly 100 miles of rural Mississippi, followed by a second formation right on the doorstep of Amory, MS. This morning the photos reveal the catastrophic damage to the small agricultural towns of Silver City, Rolling Fork, Amory and others.
