Listen to article
A proposal to stop labelling carbon dioxide as a pollutant and instead celebrate it as a "foundational nutrient for all life on Earth” will be up for debate at the United Conservative Party’s annual general meeting in November.

The resolution, which includes abandoning Alberta’s net-zero targets, flies in the face of the scientific consensus that carbon dioxide emissions created by humans burning fossil fuels is one of the primary drivers of global warming. The increased temperatures, in turn, cause more frequent and extreme weather like wildfires, floods, heat waves, storms and droughts. A study published in Nature found the deadly 2021 heat dome in BC that killed more than 619 people was amplified by climate change and other events like the fires that tore through Jasper this summer are made more likely and exacerbated by climate change.

The policy resolution put forward by the Athabasca-Barrhead-Westlock and Red Deer South constituency associations says the carbon cycle is a biological necessity and “The earth needs more CO2 to support life and to increase plant yields, both of which will contribute to the Health and Prosperity of all Albertans.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Finally, common sense.

If Mr. Trump wins, he ought to "go national/worldwide" with a similar speech that repudiates the notion of CO2 "pollution", and declares the entire green movement as a fraud, and also declares that all efforts to mitigate "climate change" in America are over and done.
