ROBERT LYMAN Since he came to Ottawa after university, Mr. Lyman has spent his life working on public policy issues, for ten years as a foreign service officer, and afterwards in a number of positions in which he worked and advised on energy, environment, and transportation policy issues within the federal government. His long public service career has made him a strong believer in the importance of the democratic decision-making process and the proper balancing of society’s many different goals. Robert has written and advised on the energy and economic implications of climate-related policies and programs for over thirty years. He is deeply concerned about the politicization of decision making and the stifling of dissenting views on this important subject. Robert Lyman has spent over forty years as an economist, manager, and consultant working on a broad range of energy and environment public policy issues, mainly for the Canadian federal government. The following is a summary of his experience. After graduation with an Honours degree in International Relations (Economics, Political Science and History), Robert joined the former federal Department of External Affairs. He served as a Canadian diplomat for ten years, with postings in Caracas, Venezuela, and Washington, D.C. His assignment in Washington occurred during a period when both Canada and the U.S. were heavily regulating oil and natural gas markets and prices, and there were several outstanding issues to be resolved concerning cross-border oil and gas trade and pipelines, including whether the MacKenzie Valley Pipeline should be built. This gave him an opportunity to learn a great deal about energy and trade regulation and pricing issues. After leaving the foreign service, Robert worked as an economist in the Energy Policy Branch of the Energy, Mines and Resources department during the acrimonious negotiations over oil and gas policy before and after the publication of the National Energy Program. He worked for two years in Finance Canada analyzing and advising on energy expenditure issues related to the federal Budget. After that, he led a group of economists responsible for analysis of international oil prices and market conditions. For two years, Robert worked on Executive Interchange as the Ottawa representative of the Canadian Gas Association at the time of natural gas deregulation. In the late 1980s, he was the Senior Director of Energy Policy when climate change issues first arose; he was heavily engaged at that time in the implementation of the Offshore Accords with Newfoundland and Nova Scotia and with the negotiation of the resource aspects of aboriginal land claims. Robert was the first federal co-chair of the Federal-Provincial Committee on Climate Change. He was the Senior Director of Oil Policy from 1995 to 2002 when the fiscal regime governing oil sands development was being expanded, and he worked closely with Finance Canada on the key issues. At that time, he led the first federal work assessing the public policy that should govern carbon dioxide capture and geological storage. Robert managed the group providing expert advice on the potential for emissions reduction in the oil industry during the Climate Change Table Process prior to the Kyoto Accord. He was the Director General, Environmental Affairs, in Transport Canada from 2002 to 2006, leading the analysis and policy development with respect to emissions reduction in the transport sector, development and implementation of climate programs, and promotion of technology development to reduce emissions in the transport sector. As a consultant from 2006 on, he performed major studies for Transport Canada on the implementation of the new Navigable Waters Protection Act, on the governance of the offshore oil shipping regime and on the development of a seamless regulatory regime to govern the prevention of and response to ship-source oil spills. He has written extensively on energy and climate-related issues, including several articles for the FOSS and a major paper on the factors affecting energy transitions for the U.K. Global Warming Policy Foundation. Throughout his public service career, Robert worked for eight Prime Ministers: Pierre Trudeau, Joe Clark, John Turner, Brian Mulroney, Kim Campbell, Jean Chretien, Paul Martin, and Stephen Harper. He was proud to perform his public service duties in a non-partisan way.

Topics in Climate Science and Policy | ICSC TOPICS IN CLIMATE SCIENCE AND POLICY Canada’s government declared a climate emergency in June 2019. 384 local jurisdictions across the country have declared a climate emergency as well. Internationally, 1,800 governments in 33 countries have done the same thing. Yet none have done so in the parts of the world that are supposedly most at risk due to climate change, namely, in Africa and most of Asia. They understand that climate change is natural and current trends are anything but an emergency. After all, the supposed global average temperature has risen only slightly more that one degree Celsius since 1880. Sea level continues its gradual rise at about 7 inches per century. Extreme weather records are being set less frequently and polar bears are thriving. Even if our leaders don’t understand this, developing nations know that they have far more significant issues to handle than climate change. ​ POLICY Climate policy Adaptation UN Agreements​ UNFCCC​ Paris Agreement Warsaw Convention Energy Policy ECONOMICS Cost of Decarbonization Cost of Renewable Energy Fossil Fuels ​ CLIMATE SCIENCE Temperature Extreme Weather Sea Level ​ NATURE Polar Bears Extinctions Ocean Acidification and Coral Reefs ​ ​ ​ Fullscreen Page | ICSC Climate Scientists' Register Info | ICSC WHY DO WE NEED THE CLIMATE SCIENTISTS' REGISTER? A common misunderstanding amongst the general public, mainstream media and politicians is that only a small proportion of experts in the climate science community have serious problems with the concept of a carbon dioxide-driven climate crisis. In reality, thousands of climate experts are highly skeptical of this hypothesis. ​ This fact has been repeatedly demonstrated through open letters, petitions and other declarations. However, these documents have not had sufficient impact on government policy largely because mainstream media have generally ignored them and so only a minority of the public is aware of their existence. Consequently, ICSC has incorporated the following characteristics into The Climate Scientists' Register to address this problem: • The Register statement is apolitical, non-commercial and deals with one physical science topic only. Many scientists have been reluctant to endorse past declarations because they did not want to become involved in something they regarded as outside of their professional field of knowledge. Similarly, many potential supporters in the general public, mass media and government have not often cited past open letters for fear of appearing to support their ideological opponents. • Scientist endorsers from all countries are welcome, thus negating the perception that national interests of any specific nation dominate. • The Register will include full professional identification of each endorser along with areas of specialization. For endorsers who are willing and able to speak with media, politicians and the public, ICSC will also include detailed contact coordinates. • ICSC will carefully vet any and all endorsers, allowing only the most qualified climate scientists to be included. • No scientist will be listed as endorsing the Register without their specific approval, and any wishing to have their names removed in the future will be accommodated immediately. • The coordinating organization, ICSC, is a single-issue entity that is, and is widely seen to be, neutral politically, philosophically and financially. ICSC carefully avoids all ad hominem attacks and other logical fallacies. We also maintain strict confidentiality with regards to funders’ identities and critique the comments of those involved in the debate based solely on the scientific accuracy of what they say and our perception of the effectiveness of their strategies. For sensible climate policy to triumph, it will require that the vast majority of the public come to regard human caused climate catastrophe concerns as unfounded. This can only happen if we quickly ‘expand the tent’ of supporters of sound, science-based climate policies to include citizens of many different political persuasions, social philosophies and commercial interests. The Climate Scientists' Register does just that by focusing solely on the most important of the climate science topics under debate – is human produced carbon dioxide leading to dangerous global warming, or not? ​ To help ICSC produce and broadly publicize The Register and its endorsers, we invite donations to "International Climate Science Coalition" to be sent to the address below. ​ Media who wish to contact scientists involved in this project may also contact the below.

Adaptation | ICSC ADAPTATION Of the 1 Billion dollars that is being spent every day on climate finance across the world, only about 5% of it is dedicated to getting ready for whatever nature throws at us next. In Canada, the situation is only slightly better: 13% of climate finance is dedicated to adaptation. The rest is wasted trying to control climate decades in the future. This is immoral, effectively valuing the lives of people suffering today due to natural climate change less than the lives of people yet to be born. International Climate Science Coalition – Canada is focused on encouraging governments to concentrate on real problems in today’s world instead of merely trying to appease aggressive, uninformed activists. ​ Paris Agreement | ICSC PARIS AGREEMENT What none of Canada's leaders understand about the Paris Agreement Under the 2015 Paris Agreement, Canada committed to reducing our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (about 80% of which is carbon dioxide (CO 2 )) by 30% below 2005 levels by 2030. This means a reduction from 730 megatonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (Mt CO 2 eq) in 2005 to 511 Mt CO 2 eq in 2030. China, by far the world's largest emitter, committed to stop increasing CO 2 emissions by 2030. ​ This asymmetry makes no sense, of course. Allowing China, which now emits about twice as much as America, to increase emissions over this period, while restricting Canada and the U.S., would result in even more industries moving to China. Total global CO 2 emissions would then likely rise even faster. ​ But that problem pales in comparison with the fact that, unknown to most observers, China and other developing nations need not ever curtail emissions under Paris. It’s all in the fine print. ​ All United Nations climate-change agreements, including Paris, are based on the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The Paris treaty says, ​ “The Parties to this Agreement, in pursuit of the objective of the Convention [UNFCCC], and being guided by its principles” ​ And UNFCCC Article 4 makes it clear that: ​ “The extent to which developing country Parties will effectively implement their commitments under the Convention will depend on the effective implementation by developed country Parties of their commitments under the Convention related to financial resources and transfer of technology and will take fully into account that economic and social development and poverty eradication are the first and overriding priorities of the developing country Parties.” ​ In other words, under the Paris Agreement and other treaties based on the UNFCCC, any commitments developing nations make to reduce their GHG emissions are conditioned on developed countries giving them enough money and technology. Former U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt confirmed this in a Fox News interview on Oct. 17, 2017, saying, “India conditioned all of the responsibilities on receiving $2.5 trillion of aid.” ​ But even if developed countries give developing countries everything promised, under the UNFCCC, developing countries may apparently still ignore their commitments to restrict emissions if such actions would interfere with their “first and overriding priorities” [of] “economic and social development and poverty eradication.” ​ We, of course, are expected to keep our emission reduction commitments no matter how it damages our economy. ​ UN bureaucrats have not hidden this inequality. They repeatedly explain “development and poverty eradication” are the most important issues for developing countries. Climate change clearly takes a back seat. ​ Restricting CO 2 emissions in developing nations would almost certainly involve significantly reducing the use of coal, the source of well over half of China’s electricity, for example. As coal is the cheapest source of power in most of the world, restricting CO 2 emissions by reducing coal use would obviously interfere with development priorities. So, no matter what emission reductions they promise, China and many other developing countries are unlikely to follow their commitments, citing UNFCCC Article 4 as their excuse. ​ This is unlikely to change even as developing countries become more prosperous. Chinese negotiator Su Wei stated at the Peru UN climate conference in 2014 that the purpose of the Paris Agreement is to “reinforce and enhance” the UNFCCC, not rewrite it. ​ Canada, and indeed all developed nations, are being taken for a ride. Core Principles | ICSC CORE PRINCIPLES CLIMATE SCIENCE Global climate is always changing in accordance with natural causes, and recent changes are not unusual. Science is rapidly evolving away from the view that humanity's emissions of carbon dioxide and other 'greenhouse gases' are a cause of dangerous climate change. Climate models used by the IPCC* fail to reproduce known past climates without manipulation and therefore lack the scientific integrity needed for use in climate prediction and related policy decision-making. The UN IPCC Summary for Policymakers and the assertions of IPCC executives too often seriously mis-represent the conclusions of their own scientific reports. Claims that ‘consensus’ exists among climate experts regarding the causes of the modest warming of the past century are contradicted by thousands of independent scientists. Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant—it is a necessary reactant in plant photosynthesis and so is essential for life on Earth. Research that identifies the Sun as a major driver of global climate change must be taken more seriously. Global cooling has presented serious problems for human society and the environment throughout history, while global warming has generally been highly beneficial. It is not possible to reliably predict how climate will change in the future beyond the certainty that multi-decadal warming and cooling trends, and abrupt changes, will all continue, underscoring a need for effective adaptation. Since science and observation have failed to substantiate the human-caused climate change hypothesis, it is premature to damage national economies with 'carbon' taxes, emissions trading, or other schemes to control greenhouse gas emissions. *United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) ENERGY Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions from human activity—energy production, transportation, cement production, heating and cooling, etc.—appear to have only a very small impact on global climate. So-called new renewable energy technologies are extremely expensive and rely on huge subsidies. To use such intermittent and diffuse power sources requires that the consumer pays between three and ten times the price of power from conventional sources (coal, oil, natural gas, hydro and nuclear). Regardless, it is not currently possible to safely replace a significant fraction of our conventional energy supplies with alternative energy sources such as wind, solar and most biofuels. New renewable energy technologies have only a minimal effect on carbon dioxide emissions because none of them can be relied upon to be available when needed. Therefore, conventional fossil fuel-fired power stations must be kept on standby in case the wind drops or a cloud passes over the Sun. This leads to additional emissions of carbon dioxide that, to a large extent, offset the reductions made by the renewable energy technologies. "Energy independence" is not a good reason for promoting new renewable energy technologies. Energy independence is more easily–and much more cheaply–attained by exploiting abundant national fossil fuel reserves, and spending some of the wealth created on research into potential new energy technologies.
