Mark Thompson submits this story:
Now that we have a majority Conserviative government in Canada and the past history of Liberal obfuscation is being erased, the Canadian and the broader world public is now getting a chance to hear the truth on climate issues.
The video link provided is two hours of testimony before a Canadian Senate Committee from December 15, 2011. Most who have a skeptical viewpoint will have already heard of some or all of the four presenters.
The presentations and follow-up questions are both excellent! Interesting to note the avoidance of some of the alarmist bullying seen in some of the U.S. Senate hearings from the likes of Clinton and Boxer. Of course, you’ll see the odd Liberal senator make the typical noxious commentary around thousands of scientists and ‘consensus’ but it doesn’t matter, they are only looking increasingly foolish.

The tags should also include “McKitrick” and other speakers.
Is there a transcript on line somewhere?
Saw this just before Christmas and passed it on to my climate mailing list. An excellent and lengthy video. Got me all excited 😉
I’m still getting no e-mail notifications,
in spite of checking it every time I post.
Is anybody else losing notifications?
I am watching the video right now, and I think it is worth pointing out that the Canadian Senate is not at all similar to the United States Senate. It is more like the British House of Lords in power, but the Senators are appointed…I think…but it is still great that these guys are getting a platform to get their message out.

What the Cdn MSM give us, however, is more pap from Tides, Suzuki, WWF, Andrew Weaver, Greenpeace, and other stakeholders – NOT the skeptical side at all. Continued demonization of Harper and big oil, rarely anything showing WHY we backed out of Kyoto, etc.seems to be the path of the conventional media channels.
Good, the word is getting out. Officially. The media will still try to memory hole the testimony, but it’s loose on the internet – so long as Google and Utube don’t try to supress it.
Canadians have always been used to break through enemy lines. GK
Thanks Canada! You provided the positive note needed to start a New Year right!
Let’s hope we can find a way this year to follow your lead, down here in the ‘lower 48’.
Hope….. Change…..

Email the u-tube link to as many people as possible. ESPECIALLY warmists !!
How many people really watch these things though?
It is nice that people in (Canadian) power are being exposed to climate skepticism, but I doubt many minds will be changed – their careers depend on it.
One would’ve thought that when the AGW-skeptical TEA Party voters’ impact upon the elections of 2010 gave the Red Faction a majority in the U.S. House of Representatives and cloture-denying numbers in the U.S. Senate for the duration of the 112th Congress, there would have been a similar overt and very prominent legislative examination – amounting to nothing less than a vehement public attack – upon this preposterous bogosity and the various practitioners of this “Back-Stabbing, Cork-Screwing, and Dirty-Dealing” we’ve been suffering for the better part of the past three decades.
Unfortunately, in our great bipartisan Boot On Your Neck Party incumbency, not even the TEA Party movement could rid us of the “go along to get along” incarcerated incumbent senior scum at the top of the RINO cesspool, and the Kabuki theater proceduralism of the federal legislature has ensured that no light would be flicked on in either chamber to send the cockroaches scuttling.
Senator Nancy Green … lovely lady; I skied with her a few years back on a trip to BC.
Low quality video, but extremely important. The slides were censored [not bilingual, and you know how important that is to the issue at hand!], so you can’t see much of what the witnesses are describing . The overall picture is clear, however: Global Warming is a hoax without any scientific underpinning. The Warmists and their lap-dog journals and MSM fellow-travelers have managed to keep the hoax alive by suppressing oceans of contrary evidence.
Thanks, again, Canada. It is about time that both sides were given a fair hearing. I’m only halfway through the video but I would like to add that I am also grateful to the Canadian Senate for taking the time to listen.
Another reason to love the Canuks …
Maybe there’s a reason why they pulled out of Kyoto.
Senator Mitchel you where not listening or did not want to listen. You should open your mind, you just might amaze yourself.
Glad to see some common sense at last in a country as important as Canada. The imbeciles here in Aus are still beating the drum however a few conservative state premiers are doing ungreen things and winning widespread approval; cutting feed in tarriffs on solar and making it harder for wind turbine advocates.
OT I see Nat Geo is offerring subs at 88% off. Must be a few like moi who have ditched their subscriptions, something I had for 45 yrs.
It was my great privilege last year to visit the memorial to so many brave Canadians who were killed in the Dieppe Raid in WW2 while trying to liberate the world from military fascism.( *)
Now we are threatened by a green fascism nearly as pernicious. It seems that Canada is showing us the way to liberation once more.
Vive le Canada libre!
(*) The audacious raid is also commemorated by an annual cycling weekend. All are welcome from those who like a gentle 20 miles in the countryside to serious TdF contenders. I can vouch that it is a great event. Hope to see you there in 2012!

An important point has been missed here – Mckitrick is good looking and cool. Not only do we have the science but we have the chiseled charisma as well, whilst the opposition look like stunt doubles in an Addams family movie
Good to see, and hear that Canada is starting the ball rolling at government level. I commend Chris Huhne to hear this.
( Huhne is the UK’s Secretary of Energy and Climate Change neither of which he understands or knows about).
The patronising attitude by Grant Mitchell in his summing up speech says it all:-
“Thousands upon thousands of independant Scientists worldwide answer and overwhelm with devastating concensus and devastating frequency the points that have been made here”.
His is a mind that cannot be influenced by realistic observational science preferring instead to accept the doctrinal AGW message. Fortunately some of the other senators were more open minded. Let us hope that they have greater influence than Senator Mitchell in Canadian political thinking.

I watched them all yesterday they are of quite good quality and are watchable in full-screen mode.
There are graphics and diagrams as part of the presentations. Here again the quality is very good.
Quite a contrast to the idiots in government in my home country of Scotland who have fallen for CAGW hook, line and sinker.
An outbreak of political sanity. How refreshing. Want to export some it to the UK? :0)
