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

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.00:00 Meet Tom Harris00:19 Canada Warming Claims00:41 Is Warming Bad03:21 So Called Averages05:13 Overlapping Ranges08:06 Why Start 194811:08 Heat Records Evidence11:54 Sparse Arctic Stations14:39 Homogenized Adjustments17:00 Step Change Not CO218:57 Hickey Speaks Out21:59 Natural Cycles Theory22:59 PR Versus Evidence24:22 Extreme Weather Database25:56 Heartland Reports28:32 Warmer Means Milder31:07 Pielke Teaser31:19 Global Extremes Database31:51 P Factor Explained32:30 Translator Not Climatologist33:33 Drilling Into Continents34:48 Wildfire History Context37:23 Heatwave Data Concerns38:31 Local Activism Playbook40:06 Alinsky Rules In Action42:49 Debate Questions And Ridicule47:16 Training Volunteers Nationwide51:59 Beating Media Censorship53:55 Groups Funding And Contact56:17 Practice Sessions And Wins57:43 Wrap Up Resources icsc-canada.com sensiblechange.cahttps://x.com/TomHarrisICSChttps://drtomharris.substack.com/=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1
