RE: Webequie Supply Road Draft Impact Assessment Report

May 22, 2026

Regarding the “Government of Canada’s ability to meet its environmental obligations and its commitments in respect of climate change (Sections 5 and 6)”, that the project would not advance meeting Canada’s ‘greenhouse gas’ (GHG) emission targets (noted in the ‘DRAFT IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT – WEBEQUIE SUPPLY ROAD’), implies that substantial damage caused by ‘climate change’ would result.

These concerns with respect to the concept (hypothesis) of man-made ‘climate change’ are actually quite inconsequential, as a worst case scenario, for a variety of reasons which are rarely made public.

Foremost is the fact that the explanation of the mechanism of ‘global warming’ caused by carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from man-made activities is impossible, based on established atmospheric science.

It is noteworthy that Earth’s biosphere generates about 30-40 times the CO₂ that human activities do on an annual basis.  Emissions caused by human activities, therefore, are miniscule compared to emissions caused by natural processes.  This fact was confirmed by the ‘Keeling Curve’ during the COVID-19 pandemic, when a substantial drop in man-made CO₂ emissions globally registered no measurable (visible) impact on the routine variations of the atmospheric CO₂ concentration.  If human activities were truly the primary cause of CO₂ emissions to the atmosphere, a marked drop in atmospheric CO₂ would have been measured within a short time frame.  It never happened.

Earth is currently in an interglacial period between ice ages.

It is also noteworthy that the repetitive peak interglacial temperature of Earth is roughly 5 degrees or so higher than the current atmospheric temperature.  Natural processes will result in the future temperature of Earth rising about 5 degrees more before cooling into the next ice age begins.

The concept of ‘man-made’ global warming via CO₂ also fails comply with the fundamental laws of thermodynamics, as the concept requires that colder objects radiate heat energy to ‘heat’ objects that are already ‘hotter’.   Such a mechanism is totally impossible, and cannot exist in the real world.

There are a significant number of other established parameters that exist which fail to support the concept of GHG emissions causing ‘global warming’ (or, ‘climate change’).

Such discrepancies (as described above) are manifested by ‘cherry-picking’ inputs that favour a predicted outcome and using computer modelling that falls far short of approximating atmospheric conditions in the real world, and, because of assumptions that are input into the models used.  There is a world of difference between ‘theory’ and what actually occurs in the ‘real world’.

The public, who are largely uneducated in the science of atmospheric processes, have often been misled into believing that drastic negative consequences will result from increasing atmospheric concentrations caused by CO₂ emissions from human activities.

However, natural processes and cycles have established that the human influence is not a major contributor to changing climate – because natural processes by far dominate Earth’s weather and climate patterns.

As for the extensive peat deposits in the Hudson Bay Lowlands, there is no credible reason that one can expect that the sequestered CO₂ contained therein would be massively released due to road construction.

Far too much taxpayers’ money has been spent needlessly on unfounded concepts – particularly man-made ‘climate change’.

As a result, the true ‘climate’ impact of constructing the Webequie Supply Road (and others) is basically insignificant due to the failings of the ‘concept’ to begin with.

However, it is prudent to minimize any direct adverse impacts on the local environment and First Nations peoples, and such efforts are expected.
