WILDROSE CLIMATE CHANGE DENIAL, MAY 2017 EDITION

THEN: “So for the minister to make claims that members of this caucus are climate change deniers and don't believe in science … at no point in time did any member of this new caucus make any claims that would allow such a statement, that is not close to the truth” - Wildrose MLA and House Leader Nathan Cooper, December 1 2015.[1]

NOW: Wildrose MLA and Energy critic Drew Barnes attends “Climate Dogma Exposed” event in Calgary May 9, 2017.[2]

Event description?  “Today’s society lives in the grip of a madness—the belief that humans are causing dangerous climate change. … But contrary to what your political leader, professor, and newspaper tell you, global warming is dominated by natural factors.”[3]
