00:00:00.000I have something to confess. I actually do believe in climate change. I do think our climate is
00:00:05.200changing, but, big but, I am not terrified by it. I don't think there's a lot we can do and I think
00:00:13.040they're drumming up a lot of the fear around climate action and climate change. So today we're
00:00:18.080talking about all of the reactions that we got from our climate change video that we did at the
00:00:22.560St. Jacob's Market. We're breaking down some of the things that people said and I think it's going
00:00:27.280going to be a lot of fun. Okay one of the things that we noticed while we were at the market is
00:00:32.380that there were a lot of people who really had bought into the climate fear but there was one
00:00:36.640lady who agreed to talk and her her synopsis of the whole situation was really good. I absolutely
00:00:43.520agree with what she said so we're going to watch a bit of that. I don't think that we as humans
00:00:48.380can do anything about the weather change. It's going to happen. The weather has never been
00:00:54.020stationary as far as we know as far back as science can track it but what we can do to be
00:01:00.660prepared for it is make sure that we are building in safe places we are maintaining our forests
00:01:08.980which have not been done the undergrowth is part of the problem they need to cut back all of the
00:01:15.520undergrowth near railroad tracks because that is part of the problem that trains are setting the
00:01:20.920grass on fire. So all we can do as humans is be aware that it's going to happen and make sure we
00:01:27.640have the resources that when it does happen, we can help save people, their homes, their businesses,
00:01:34.600etc. She is absolutely right. I think climate change is a lot of it is out of our hands.
00:01:41.760There's not much we can do about the climate. If you look at what would happen if the entire world
00:01:47.660were to throw as much money as they can into transitioning themselves to a net zero regime,
00:01:55.080that would take $38 trillion of money every year. So that's $4,000 of money for every human being
00:02:03.740on the planet now every year. There's a lot of people in a lot of places that can't afford that.
00:02:10.440There are so many governments that can't afford that. And even if we did put all that money
00:02:15.120towards climate action and a net zero agenda, by 2100, the only net benefit that we're going to see
00:02:25.020is a reduction in global temperature of 0.02 degrees Celsius. That's 1 50th of a degree.
00:02:35.360So what would happen is we would bankrupt so many countries and we bankrupt Canada0.60
00:02:40.920and destroy many people's lives. And then the only benefit we're going to see by 2100 in 75 years
00:02:48.360would be a reduction in 1 50th of a degree Celsius. In these developing countries in Africa,0.74
00:02:55.400in India, in Asian countries, they can't pay that money forward. They can't. Their chief concerns,
00:03:02.280if you look at what they're concerned about, their concerns are developing their electrical grid,
00:03:07.800feeding their populations, like, their top priority is not climate change. So the crazy
00:03:16.800thing is that bill would have to be forked over to OECD countries. So the Organization for Economic
00:03:25.300Cooperation and Development, the countries that are part of that group would have to fork over
00:03:30.480that bill. And if we did, that would be $30,000 per year for each of us in the OECD countries.
00:03:39.440And that is also very insane. So we can't, we can't do much about this. There is very little
00:03:46.960that we can do. It's going to happen. And she's absolutely right. We just simply have to adapt.
00:03:52.480That's what we've done since humanity has been around. We've been adapting. That's the best
00:03:57.520thing now i did mention the fact that this would be is crazy how much money we'd have to put forward
00:04:03.280and very little benefit and i mentioned that to one person at the market who was very for
00:04:07.600climate change and this was her response so that the earth doesn't heat up so we can still live
00:04:13.760here so um that sounds like a lot of money but um i mean there has to be a solution where
00:04:22.080we are not as wasteful as humans. So I think it's really important that whatever we can do,
00:04:32.400but it has to be sustainable so people can afford to live. Obviously, she does get that it's going
00:04:38.980to be an insane bill and that people need to be able to afford to live. Obviously, she gets that.
00:04:44.620but the climate idea is so ingrained in her mind that it's going to be so insane that the world is
00:04:52.620going to be uninhabitable if we don't do something. That is also not true. There is nowhere that has
00:05:01.340been getting uninhabitable on this planet due to climate change. The only spots that are
00:05:06.860uninhabitable are like the Sahara Desert and deserts, which have been uninhabitable for years.
00:05:11.840so the climate scare is it's it's been drummed up by the media absolutely it is it is totally about
00:05:19.880fear and people don't realize that they've just bought into the fear another thing that people
00:05:25.940toss around is that oh all of all of our forests are going to burn up if we don't do something
00:05:31.420about climate change immediately and like i said our temperature reductions are going to be minimal
00:05:38.780like almost non-existent if we cut emissions as fast as we can right now. So a dramatic emissions
00:05:46.140cut is not going to help our forest fire problem. Another thing, and this is really interesting,
00:05:52.540the percentage of area, global forest area, that has been burnt up by fire over the last century
00:06:00.380has decreased by 50%, so we are getting better at fighting forest fires and also the amount
00:06:09.020that is being burned has decreased by half. Now, you won't hear that in the media. They will tell
00:06:15.340you that in Canada today, that this year, they will tell you that this year is the worst year
00:06:22.940in Canada for forest fires and they would probably try and make you think that it's the worst year
00:06:27.660in the world for forest fires. If that is the case, then we would have to, the amount of area
00:06:37.200of forest that would have to be burned this year to make this year the worst year for forest fires
00:06:42.620would have to increase by 50% what it was last year. Last year was the second lowest year for
00:06:53.260forest fire and the area being burned ever. The second lowest year. 2022 was the lowest year that
00:07:00.820we've ever recorded for the amount of area and forest fire that's ever been burned. That, you're
00:07:06.620not going to hear that. No one's going to tell you that. They're going to tell you that the world is
00:07:10.640on fire and that we're losing forests at an unprecedented rate and that we've got to cut
00:07:16.780emissions and spend as much money as we can. And that is simply not the case. They will also tell
00:07:23.000you that climate change is the driver of world hunger, which again is not the case. Our food
00:07:30.140production has been increasing so much and maybe it will be slowed down by climate change,
00:07:37.360but it is still increasing. So the rate that it will increase might be slowed down by climate
00:07:43.040change, but very, very little. And world hunger is slated to half even more over the next few
00:07:50.560centuries. So that is a good thing. But climate change is not the main driver for world hunger.
00:07:57.840The main driver for world hunger is world conflicts, wars, and corrupt governments that
00:08:05.280are just simply not distributing the food or the aid that other countries give them.
00:08:11.680And if we really wanted to solve world hunger, we would be wanting to produce as much food as
00:08:17.360possible. But what we've been seeing the liberal government do is they're actually, they have
00:08:23.600penalized farmers for using fertilizers and using diesel and gas-powered machinery and making it
00:08:31.280more expensive for them to dry their grain and to ship it to market and to even cut it and harvest
00:08:37.060it off the field. They're making that more expensive and they're making food in general
00:08:41.500more expensive. If we really wanted to solve world hunger, we would need to make food as inexpensive
00:08:48.140as possible to produce, and we want to produce as much of it as possible. You cannot penalize
00:08:53.660the production of food and then expect world hunger to be solved. It's just not going to happen.
00:08:59.440So a lot of these people, the same people that are saying that climate change needs to be stopped
00:09:04.300no matter what, are also the ones that are saying that we need to make as much wealth redistribution
00:09:10.000to lower-income people as possible and basically redistribute the wealth that has been accumulated
00:09:16.160in the world. That's, it's very hypocritical because they're going to punish lower-income
00:09:23.760families by making food more expensive, making vehicles, making heating, making cooling more
00:09:28.720expensive, and then they're going to say that we need to give as much money to these people from
00:09:34.980the wealthy that are creating the wealth and creating the jobs and producing food and things
00:09:41.000that people need. They're going to penalize them and then they're going to penalize lower income
00:09:45.500people. It's very hypocritical. Who do they really care about? I mean, I'll leave that up to you guys0.98
00:09:51.960to think about who they really care about because it's certainly not either group. And the rise in
00:09:58.460food prices that happened due to the carbon tax and the rise in heating and cooling costs and
00:10:04.060things like that. That is part of the reason that made the Trudeau government so unpopular. And
00:10:10.500that's the reason that they actually removed the commercial side of the carbon tax. But that carbon
00:10:15.880tax is still on industry. There was one gentleman who actually brought up the carbon tax even before
00:10:20.760I mentioned it to anyone. Yes, and it was in the context of putting it on industry. And here's what
00:10:27.080he had to say. It's a long clip, but I'll just play the whole thing. The tax, the carbon tax,
00:10:32.900I think what they need to do is to increase that on the bigger companies, the industrial companies that are putting these very large outputs of greenhouse gases and that into the environment.
00:10:44.580Do you think, though, overtaxing our industry will make us less competitive to the states, which doesn't have a tax like that?
