The City of Calgary has been actively engaged in incorporating climate change planning into almost every level of municipal culture. But has anyone stopped to ask questions about the Cost-Benefit of some of these proposals and initiatives? Do citizens even know what some aspects of ‘going green’ will cost them? Is ‘climate change’ too often a diversion of funds and attention from more serious municipal needs like flood mitigation, infrastructure, or homelessness? Friends of Science Society has issued two reports responding to the City of Calgary’s Climate Change Plan.

Carbon dioxide is plant food. CO2 emissions increase crop yields and the forest's productivity.
Carbon dioxide is a wonderful by-product of fossil fuel use.
See our report on the Alberta climate plan and the social cost of carbon, short version here, technical version here.
Greenhouse gas emissions are very beneficial, with net benefits in Canada continually increasing throughout the 21st century. The social cost of carbon best estimate on a global basis is -17 US$/tCO2 and is extremely likely less than -4 US$/tCO2. The social benefits greatly exceed the social costs.

Please take time to review the many resources available by the left navigaton menu. Contact your local MP click here and ask why Canada has committed billions of dollars for carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions reduction (here) to fight a problem that doesn’t exist? CO2 emissions have only a tiny effect on temperatures, but strongly enhance plant growth.
