CALGARY, AB, April 29, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- As reported by the Globe and Mail on April 24, 2024, in Mark Carney's recent "Lookahead" speech to the Canada2020 think tank, Carney stated that Canadians are living through a "hinge moment of history," but Friends of Science Society sees his NetZero comments as unhinged.

  • Friends of Science hosted Dr. Benny Peiser of the Global Warming Policy Foundation of the UK on April 09th, 2024, who showed the extent of Europe's NetZero rebellion .
  • Friends of Science says it is curious he fails to recognize the emissions of his housing plan.
