Ultraliberal (libertarian)

Posicionamiento negacionista climático:

No es posible saber cuál es la causa del calentamiento global ni tampoco si éste es bueno o malo

Independent Summary for Policymakers IPCC Fourth Assessment Report (5 de febrero de 2007)

Survey of Mining Companies: Every year, the global Survey of Mining Companies ranks the investment climates of mining jurisdictions around the world, based on the opinions of mining industry executives and managers;

Global Petroleum Survey: An annual survey of petroleum executives regarding barriers to investment in oil- and gas-producing regions around the world

Tax Freedom Day: The Institute’s annual Tax Freedom Day report calculates the day the average Canadian family can «start working for themselves» after having paid off the total tax bill imposed on them by all levels of government. In 2011, Tax Freedom Day was June 6. The Institute also offers a personal Tax Freedom Day calculator. It is however important to note that averaging the tax burden of high and low income earners does not accurately reflect the burden carried by ordinary Canadians.

“In addition to its progress in terms of an expanding membership (both in terms of numbers and global reach), the MPS network has also managed to initiate both short- and long-term research projects on an individual as well as on a collective level (such as in the meantime competing versions of an Index of Economic Freedom coordinated and published yearly by the Fraser Institute and the Heritage Foundation). Normally, the impetus for such research projects comes from MPS, whereas think tanks implement them either alone or in collaboration (the Fraser Institute led effort is a joint product of many think tanks around the globe; see Walpen 2004, ch. 4-6).”

“Our vision is a free and prosperous world where individuals benefit from greater choice, competitive markets, and personal responsibility. Our mission is to measure, study, and communicate the impact of competitive markets and government interventions on the welfare of individuals.”

Fraser Institute fires off a damp squib – Real Climate, 03/02/2007 – http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2007/02/fraser-institute-fires-off-a-damp-squib/
“While most of the world’s climate scientists were following the IPCC fest last week, a few contrarians left out in the cold were trying to organize their own party … The Fraser Institute has assembled an awesome team of 10 authors, including such RC favorites as tilter-against-windmills-and-hockey-sticks Ross McKitrick, and other luminaries such as William Kininmonth, MSc, M.Admin — whose most recent paper is “Don’t be Gored into Going Along” in the Oct-Nov issue of Power Engineer. To be fair, he did publish a paper on weather forecasting, back in 1973.”

Ross McKitrick et al (2007) – Independent Summary for Policymakers IPCC Fourth Assessment Report – The Fraser Institute – Associate Professor, Department of Economics, University of Guelph + and Senior Fellow, Fraser Institute – http://www.fraserinstitute.org/WorkArea/DownloadAsset.aspx?id=3081 – 9 authors
“The hypothesis that greenhouse gas emissions have produced or are capable of producing a significant warming of the Earth’s climate since the start of the industrial era is credible merits continued attention. Arguments for the hypothesis rely on computer simulations as supporting evidence. … There is no evidence provided by the IPCC in its Fourth Assessment Report that the uncertainty can be formally resolved from first principles modeling exercises. Consequently as to the extent that humans are contributing to future climate change or not such change is a good or bad thing.

Economic Freedom of the World – Wikipedia, 06/07/2009 – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_Freedom_of_the_World
“The annual survey Economic Freedom of the World is an indicator produced by the Fraser Institute, a conservative and libertarian think tank which attempts to measure the degree of economic freedom in the world’s nations. The index uses a definition of economic freedom similar to laissez-faire capitalism. This indicator has been used in peer-reviewed studies some of which have found a range of beneficial effects of more economic freedom.”

“The Atlas Network overlaps with other international networks that share its climate change skepticism and fossil fuel funders. Foundations linked to ExxonMobil, the Koch family, and other conservative interests have donated more than $1 million to Canada’s Fraser Institute, which in turn supports a network of think tanks in 71 countries that promote «economic freedom.» Exxon, the Kochs, and other foundations tied to American oil money have also helped bankroll the British-based International Policy Network. In 2007, IPN created the Civil Society Coalition on Climate Change, a group of 59 «independent civil society organizations» from 40 countries, «as a response to the many biased and alarmist claims about human-induced climate change.».”

Case Study: Dr. Willie Soon, a Career Fueled by Big Oil and Coal – Greenpeace USA,  01/10/2011 – http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/en/campaigns/global-warming-and-energy/polluterwatch/koch-industries/CASE-STUDY-Dr-Willie-Soon-a-Career-Fueled-by-Big-Oil-and-Coal/
“Willie Soon has written for the Fraser Institute and is listed on its website as an author. His CV describes his involvement as being a member of the Fraser institute’s “CANSTAT” advisory board from 2002 to at least 2005, although in 2001 he wrote a “Guide to Global Warming” for the Fraser Institute. The Fraser Institute has received $120,000 from ExxonMobil in two $60,000 grants for “climate change” in 2003 and 2004. According to Media Transparency, more than 75 percent of the $403,301 received by the Fraser Institute since 1985 has come from the oil-rich Scaife Foundations ($275,000) and the Koch Foundations ($198,221).”

David P. Ball (2009) – Fraser Institute co-founder confirms ‘years and years’ of U.S. oil billionaires’ funding – Vancouver Observer, 26/04/2012 – http://www.vancouverobserver.com/politics/2012/04/26/fraser-institute-co-founder-confirms-years-and-years-us-oil-billionaires-funding
“’Years and years’ prior to receiving grants from the Koch family foundation, Walker said, a Canadian subsidiary of Koch Industries made regular donations to the organization as a corporate member. ‘If your intent is to find out that the Fraser Institute, just like the (David) Suzuki Foundation, is funded by offshore money, the truth is that any money I’m aware of from that source – if we’re even getting any anymore – is used for our international research. We do have an extensive international program, so we do have to raise money offshore from different sources.’ … Walker, 67, was the Fraser Institute’s executive director from its creation in 1974 until Sept. 2005, when he became president of the Fraser Institute Foundation and a Senior Fellow on its board. In an interview with the Vancouver Observer, he spoke glowingly of the group’s Koch-funded international work – notably the institute’s “Economic Freedom Index” which he developed with Nobel prize-winning neoliberal economist Milton Friedman at the University of Chicago, which today involves organizations in roughly 80 countries, he added.”

“Fraser Institute All-Stars: Some famous figures include Ezra Levant, a Sun media columnist and author of Ethical Oil, who came to intern at the Fraser Institute after a fellowship with the Koch Foundation. Kathryn Marshall, political commentator and former Ethical Oil spokesperson, was also a development associate at the Fraser Institute. Wildrose leader Danielle Smith took on an internship with the Fraser Institute during her twenties that “imbued her with a passion for Ayn Rand and charter schools”, according to a recent Walrus article. She became an intern with the encouragement of Tom Flanagan, a Fraser Institute senior fellow and Stephen Harper mentor. Vancouver Sun editorial pages editor and columnist Fazil Milhar is the former regulatory studies director at the Fraser Institute.”

“All of these initiatives are deemed “educational”, but they are linked to a free-market agenda. Students and participants are armed with knowledge and arguments to debunk and discredit theories around climate change and public welfare as un-scientific or delusional, while actively pushing U.S.-style free market and privatization as the best option for Canada. And many of them have a powerful presence in right-wing-owned media to spread and legitimize their views.”

  • Apoyos de la comunidad científica al buen hacer de este blog

    En ocasión de la censura temporal que Facebook impuso a este blog, personas muy relevantes de la comunidad científica del clima afirmaron su valor y el rigor con el que aquí se procede.

    A su vez, más de una cincuentena de personalidades apoyaron una Declaración al respecto. La emisión masiva de esta declaración, por ejemplo aquí, llevó a Facebook a levantar su veto.

  • El imperativo de encontrar respuestas adecuadas

    Perfil del autorLa humanidad se encuentra frente a una de las mayores disyuntivas que cabe imaginar. El sistema climático terrestre parece haber sido definitivamente desestabilizado, mientras la inmensa mayoría de la población vive ajena a un fenómeno llamado a marcar nuestras vidas de forma determinante y abrumadora. Comunidad científica, medios de comunicación y clase política se encuentran aturdidos por el fenómeno y sin respuestas adecuadas a la magnitud del desafío. Cuando las élites fracasan, es la hora de la gente.
