Paul MacRae is a former Times Colonist editorial writer and instructor in writing at the University of Victoria who has done extensive research on how climate politics (Net Zero by 2050) is destroying the economies of Canada and many other countries. 

For example, he notes that, using the Paris Agreement’s own calculations, the Net Zero by 2050 policy will cost an estimated $1-$2 trillion a year globally until 2100 ($80 billion a year for Canada), and might reduce the temperature by … 0.04-0.07o Celsius by 2100. This reduction is too small to be perceived by the human senses. Canada’s contribution to global carbon emissions is 1.5 per cent, so Canadian multi-billion-dollar efforts to curb emissions would prevent 0.00105°C in warming.

MacRae has written two books on climate politics (False Alarm: Global Warming Facts Vs. Fears,2010, and Through the Looking Glass: A Citizen’s Do-It-Yourself Guide to Climate Science,2023, both available on Amazon and most e-book platforms) and co-written & edited Energy & Climate at a Glance: Facts on 22 Prominent Climate Topics, released this year. Copies of the three books will be available for sale at the event.    

There will be a livestream link of the event at STORMRYDERNEWS.
