COP28 president has it right: though fossil fuels eventually have to be phased out, no science says climate Armageddon is imminent
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre should take a page out of Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber’s playbook. Al Jaber is the president of COP28, currently underway in Dubai. Last month he laid bare important realities few conservative politicians dare bring up: though ending fossil-fuel use may well not prevent average global temperatures from rising 1.5 degrees C above pre-industrial levels, any quick phase-out of coal, oil and natural gas certainly would ruin our societies.
In an online exchange with Al Jaber last month, Mary Robinson, former UN special envoy for climate change, encouraged him to declare he would champion a total phase-out of fossil fuels, repeatedly asking him, “Will you lead on phasing out, phasing out, fossil fuels …?”

Did anyone here watch the town hall from Edmonton last night? I watched the first from Red Deer on X and attempted to watch last night on FB but the hecklers and comments pissed me off so quit watching. after about 15 minutes. They are sure a different bunch north of me and I don't say that in a positive way from what I heard. I am sure Ganum will have something to say negative as he didn't watch from Red Deer but had lots to say.
