Tom Harris: “Pushing back against climate hysteria in Canada” #425

<p>Tom Harris argues Canada’s claim of warming twice the global average is unreliable because northern data coverage is sparse and “homogenized” station adjustments may exaggerate trends. He questions the meaning of average temperature and says Canada’s record shows a step change around 1998, consistent with El Niño and possibly the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation, not steady greenhouse-gas forcing. He cites extreme-weather records peaking in the 1930s and references Heartland’s Climate Change Reconsidered and Roger Pielke’s datasets as showing little detected change in many extremes. Harris then describes organizing local activists, using Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, rehearsing questions, and bypassing media censorship to challenge municipal climate policies.</p><p><br></p><p>00:00 Meet Tom Harris</p><p>00:19 Canada Warming Claims</p><p>00:41 Is Warming Bad</p><p>03:21 So Called Averages</p><p>05:13 Overlapping Ranges</p><p>08:06 Why Start 1948</p><p>11:08 Heat Records Evidence</p><p>11:54 Sparse Arctic Stations</p><p>14:39 Homogenized Adjustments</p><p>17:00 Step Change Not CO2</p><p>18:57 Hickey Speaks Out</p><p>21:59 Natural Cycles Theory</p><p>22:59 PR Versus Evidence</p><p>24:22 Extreme Weather Database</p><p>25:56 Heartland Reports</p><p>28:32 Warmer Means Milder</p><p>31:07 Pielke Teaser</p><p>31:19 Global Extremes Database</p><p>31:51 P Factor Explained</p><p>32:30 Translator Not Climatologist</p><p>33:33 Drilling Into Continents</p><p>34:48 Wildfire History Context</p><p>37:23 Heatwave Data Concerns</p><p>38:31 Local Activism Playbook</p><p>40:06 Alinsky Rules In Action</p><p>42:49 Debate Questions And Ridicule</p><p>47:16 Training Volunteers Nationwide</p><p>51:59 Beating Media Censorship</p><p>53:55 Groups Funding And Contact</p><p>56:17 Practice Sessions And Wins</p><p>57:43 Wrap Up Resources</p><p><br></p><p> <a href="http://icsc-canada.com">icsc-canada.com</a></p><p> <a href="http://sensiblechange.ca">sensiblechange.ca</a></p><p><a href="https://x.com/TomHarrisICSC">https://x.com/TomHarrisICSC</a></p><p><a href="https://drtomharris.substack.com/">https://drtomharris.substack.com/</a></p><p>=========</p><p>Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: <a href="https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summaries">https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summaries</a></p><p>My Linktree: <a href="https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1">https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1</a></p>
