Environment

Mankind has been entrusted with a great responsibility to steward the Earth, to make efficient use of its resources and to pass it along to future generations for them to use and enjoy.

  • CHP recognizes our responsibility to steward and care for the natural environment.

  • CHP will protect Canada’s air, soil and water from destructive contamination by man-made chemicals.

  • CHP recognizes that carbon dioxide—CO2—is a natural beneficial gas, not a pollutant. The theory that “climate change” or “global warming” is caused by higher levels of CO2 as a result of human use of petroleum fuels in combustion engines is simply an unproven theory. Many reputable scientists have rejected this theory.

  • CHP opposes ALL carbon taxes, cap-and-trade, carbon credits.

  • Some “geo-engineering” advocates have proposed efforts to block or diminish sunlight through the dispersion into the atmosphere of various reflective particles, including aluminum. They propose this “global dimming” as a way to “cool the planet.” CHP opposes any attempt to block sunlight or artificially cool the planet.

  • CHP also cares about the MORAL environment our children are growing up in, something ignored by globalist busybodies.

Pollution

Canadians are legitimately concerned about threats to our environment. It is imperative that we focus on cleaning up the real pollution that negatively impacts the lives and health of Canadians. We must leave to future generations a healthy planet with the clean and precious air, water and soil that is necessary for the flourishing of human, plant and animal life.

CHP Canada recognizes that chemical pollution can be a serious problem and that immediate steps must be taken to address air pollution from particulate emissions, Nitrogen Oxide (NOX), Sulphur Oxide (SOX) and Volatile Organic Chemicals (VOCs). We must work to end water pollution from untreated sewage discharges, ballast and waste dumping at sea. And we must work to end the pollution of both water and soil from overuse of man-made chemicals, including pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers.

Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

However, the concern for protection of the environment has been seriously distorted by propaganda campaigns, such as the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

We agree with the many scientists who tell us that CO2 and water vapour—the main so-called “greenhouse gases”—are not pollutants. Both are essential to agriculture—and indeed, to all life on earth. Furthermore, global temperature does not follow CO2 levels (as IPCC computer models assume); it leads it. That is, higher global temperatures cause rising CO2 levels, not the other way around.

Canadians are facing financial struggles due to the implementation of Carbon Taxes, which have stripped them financially. Carbon Taxes are not revenue neutral for Canadians. They are a means of coercing Canadians to buy expensive energy alternatives. In our cold northern climate, avoiding energy use is not an option.

“Carbon Taxes”, “cap and trade” and “carbon credits” equally deprive Third World countries of the development they need to lift their people out of poverty, disease, and starvation.

Climate has always changed. From the time of the Ice Age through today, we have had periods of greater heat or cool such as the Medieval Warm Period extending from about 800 AD to 1250 AD and the Little Ice Age, which spanned around 1300 AD-1850 AD.

These changes happened prior to industrialization thus proving false the assertion that climate change is anthropomorphic.

The CHP does not support any international policies, treaties or protocols, that are based on unproven environmental assumptions and that would adversely affect the cultural and economic growth of developing countries; undermine civil liberties; and financially devastate Canadians.

CHP Canada would work together with industry to restrict the pollution of our water, land and air We would make use of our Infrastructure Renewal plan to help fund the necessary changes to research, develop and implement better controls that would promote both a healthier lifestyle and control negative environmental factors.

Coral Bleaching

Other apparent evidence given for Climate Change is bleaching of the Coral Reefs. However, coral thrives in warm water—not cool water. A warming ocean environment would cause an increase in Coral Reefs as it has caused an increase in healthy flora. However, by controlling what is obviously a cause for coral bleaching, such things as oxybenzone, which is found in sunscreens, we can have a positive effect on our environment. Another cause of coral bleaching is run off from chemicals used in farming. Global warming is not the cause of coral bleaching. We have an option to correct these negative effects of industrialization.

Greenland Ice Melt

Massive glaciers falling into the Arctic Ocean have dominated the news in recent years as evidence of catastrophic global warming. However, Greenland, the host of Earth’s northern major ice sheet, has been host to plant and animal life in the past. At one point, evidence shows, 90% of Greenland was free of ice. The current cycle of melt and freeze is not the climate catastrophe that advocates of catastrophic climate change have said it is.

We must always remember that science is not determined by consensus, rather it is determined by analyzing the evidence and seeking truth.
