Views on Climate Change
On January 2, 2017, McIntyre - while speaking to the press - asserted that man made climate change is not the primary cause of the planet's warming.[2] This is in conflict with the current Scientific opinion on climate change, which asserts a 95% confidence that climate change is primarily caused by man.
- MacIntyre: “Climate change is real, Mr. Thomson. It is cyclical. Man is aggravating it. Man is not the sole cause, are you happy?”
- Graham Thomson (Edmonton Journal): According to scientists who study this, the majority of the increase is man-made.
- MacIntyre: “You can’t say that anymore.”
- Another journalist: Why can’t you say that anymore?
- MacIntyre: “The science isn’t settled.”
The Alberta New Democratic Party - which holds a majority government in the legislature - responded by requesting that the Wildrose Party - the official opposition - remove Don MacIntyre from his position as energy critic. Leduc-Beaumont NDP MLA Shaye Anderson was quoted saying "“It’s irresponsible to lend climate change-denying conspiracies the credibility of the office of the Official Opposition. Unless (Wildrose Leader Brian) Jean agrees with what Mr. MacIntyre is saying, he must remove him from his position.”".[3]
The Wildrose Party responded by issuing a statement that “We get calls daily from Albertans living in NDP-held ridings furious that their MLAs are not listening to their opposition to the carbon tax. I suggest they spend their time listening to those concerns,”[4] - in reference to the 20 dollars per ton carbon tax put in place by the Alberta government.[5]
