Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Should governments have a role in managing Climate Change? Is there a better way? This book answers those questions. Climate Alarmists argue that greenhouse gas emissions pose such a serious threat to humanity that governments must aggressively tax and regulate to curtail every human activity they allege to increase that threat. Skeptics disagree. Scientific evidence doesn’t support the Alarmists’ theory with conclusive data. The man-made global warming concern began in 1992 in the sphere of politics. It's been sustained by politicians and tax-funded institutions globally and domestically. Ongoing fearmongering campaigns has kept the public anxious for a generation. Citizens tacitly submit to the ‘tax and spend’ policies that keep the Climate Change Government Complex (CCGC) growing and profitable. With the unlikely name The Bigfoot Show (’Bigfoot’ is the abbreviated term for the proposal), the author proposes a superior alternative to the CCGC that will reduce industrial CO2 emissions. It will also entertain and educate the public while satisfying Alarmists and Skeptics alike. No government participation will be allowed. Bigfoot is an innovation that, when adopted, will be the first step towards replacing government responsibility for Climate Change and, potentially, for other areas where public sector monopolies exist. Chapter One describes the core failures of the government's approach to Climate Change. Chapter Two lays out the proposal. Chapter Three provides a SWOT+ analysis to explain how the proposal is an evolutionary improvement over the CCGC. The next seven chapters offer a 360-degree look at the entire Climate Change topic -- a highly complex subject with many dimensions and stakeholders. Bigfoot is a practical solution that will get the desired results and do it in a cost-effective, transparent and accountable manner. Modern digital technology will play an important part. In recent years, the pandemic and other crises have pushed public anxiety to historic levels. While we enjoy unprecedented access to information, uncertainty about the future had never been worse especially with our youth. Conspiracy theories arise whenever people are confused by complex issues that affect their lives. The impulse to find satisfying answers drives many to the ‘authorities’. Twenty years ago, we outsourced manufacturing to nations like China, Mexico and India. Today we outsource our critical thinking to designated ‘gurus’ and ‘experts’. If you are interested in people and the choices they make, you will like this book. It raises questions regarding morality, mutual respect, personal responsibility and the freedom to act accordingly, fairness, the dynamics of human communities of both religious and secular natures, creativity, philosophy, leadership and the consequences when it’s lacking, the nature of fiat and digital money as mediums of exchange and stores of wealth. Political leaders can embrace Bigfoot for the public benefits that are achievable with or without their endorsement. Public trust and respect can be restored for political and government leaders. Threats to Canadian sovereignty by globalist entities can be thwarted. A new age of democracy renewal can begin with Bigfoot. Read about some of the most important characters in the Climate Change saga, its authoritarian nature, and its most influential Skeptics. Bigfoot offers hope to all Canadians. It signifies that a viable, democratic and peaceful path out of perhaps the darkest period in our history is finally here!
