International Climate Science Coalition Canada

I urge anyone interested in climate science to bookmark International Climate Science Coalition Canada and subscribe to their Youtube channel.

With the wealth of climate disinformation and misinformation out there, I am happy to find commentary by a Canadian based group that I have familiarity with. I have followed Mr. Harris and some of his colleagues for years and find their insights useful in sorting fact from the climate fiction fed to us by people who do not disclose their conflicts of interest.

As usual, I leave it to you to decide how you use the information you find on sites I write about.  

The Team: 

Executive Director: Tom Harris, B. Eng., M. Eng. (Mech., thermofluids), Ottawa, Ontario; View a short excerpt of a public presentation by Mr. Harris.

An excerpt from a 2011 lecture may be seen here. Mr. Harris speaks about the approach he has taken with this course here (March 30, 2011).
