Climate and Net Zero Energy Debate Challenge issued by Friends of Science Society to UN Group by Same Name

Published

on

CALGARY, Alberta, July 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As the Friends of Science Society celebrates its 24ᵗʰ year of operation, they issue a debate challenge on climate and Net Zero targets, to the upstart UN “Friends of Science” group, described in this June 17, 2026, report by Inside Climate News on the Bonn Climate Conference.

Friends of Science Society’s climate intelligence partner, Clintel, issued a call for debate back in 2019 when Greta Thunberg’s famous “How Dare You” speech triggered a global movement based on an assumed climate emergency. The Friends of Science Society’s video read-out of Clintel’s letter to UN Sec. Gen. Antonio Guterres went viral, with over 700,000 views, before @facebook started blocking it. Clintel’s new president is former Czech president, Vaclav Klaus, author of “Blue Planet in Green Shackles,” among other books and papers.

Friends of Science Society and Clintel’s global network of over 2,000 scientists and scholars look forward to opportunities to engage in open, civil debate with the UN upstart “Friends of Science.” As reported by Politico, Clintel signatory Dr. Matthew Wielicki will lead the next US National Climate Assessment.

Clintel’s German Ambassador, Prof. Fritz Vahrenholt, speaks frankly about the problems with Net Zero targets and climate change in the re-released award-winning documentary by Canadian Mathew Embry. The film is titled, “Global Warning,” and is now free to view on YouTube. Embry follows famous climate activist Catherine Abreu to the 2019 Bonn Climate Conference, showing how activists have personal access to Canadian climate negotiators.

Prime Minister Carney frequently repeats that “Canada has what the world wants” and the recent G7 Statement reflects that interest. Alberta’s Premier Smith says the federal government has “9 Bad Laws” that must be repealed in order to drive investment and get oil and gas products to world markets. Premier Smith, then a radio talk show host, is also prominently featured in Embry’s “Global Warning” which was filmed during an oil and real estate market crash in Alberta.

While energy mavens at Doomberg believe that Carney is turning away from his climate obsession, Robert Lyman’s new report shows that “a leopard does not change its spots.” Lyman is in favor of reform for approving major projects, but he lays out the challenges in this submission to the government.

Friends of Science Society says that “Canada is Caught in a Green Spider Web.”

Embry’s film contrasts the ideology of climate activists with down-to-earth scientific commentary by Prof. Vahrenholt. Vahrenholt was once an industry leader and proponent of major wind farm operations. In “Global Warning”, Vahrenholt, an environmentalist now, expresses his deep concern that wind farms are wiping out rare birds and bats, driving energy poverty and deindustrialization in Germany. Vahrenholt is the co-author of a number of peer-reviewed papers and books that explore how the Sun drives climate change.

Embry brings Abreu face-to-face with Canada’s Dr. Ian Clark, as in this 2020 interview clip for Friends of Science Society. But Abreu is unmoved by Clark’s scientific explanation that there is no climate crisis and carbon dioxide from human industry is not the driving force in climate change.

Global fear of a climate emergency stemmed from the misuse of a climate scenario known as RCP 8.5 (SSP5-8.5) which the official climate modelling community has now abandoned, deeming it to be ‘implausible.’ The website “TheyKnew.com” reports that, “For over a decade, a single extreme climate scenario — RCP8.5 — powered nearly every alarming headline, regulation, lawsuit, and school curriculum on climate change. Scientists flagged it as unrealistic as early as 2017. The institutions that kept using it knew.”

The demand for “climate action” is now unnecessary as the imaginary climate emergency is over. Friends of Science Society took some 300 Mayors and councillors in Canada to task for their “Elbows Up for Climate” demands in this report challenging their “climate madness” and video. The “climate mayors” method of financing these extraordinary “Elbows Up” demands? A windfall tax on Big Oil.

Electrify Now” – the latest thing from the EU, Canada and other nations, is doomed to fail due as outlined in this Friends of Science Society video.

What are Climate Policies Costing Canada?“- some $476 billion on climate action (2020-2030). Since the phantom climate emergency is over, those borrowed billions should be redirected to more pragmatic concerns, or better yet not spent at all.

About
Friends of Science Society is an independent group of earth, atmospheric and solar scientists, engineers, and citizens that is celebrating its 24th year of offering climate science insights. After a thorough review of a broad spectrum of literature on climate change, Friends of Science Society has concluded that the sun is the main driver of climate change, not carbon dioxide (CO2).

Trinasolar Powers 37MW RASLAG 4 Solar Project in the Philippines

Published

on

By

MANILA, Philippines, July 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Trinasolar, a global smart photovoltaic and energy storage solutions provider, has supplied over 55,000 solar modules for the 37MW RASLAG 4 Solar Power Plant in Pampanga, Philippines, reinforcing its role in supporting utility-scale solar deployment across the Philippines and Southeast Asia.

Developed by RASLAG Corp., a Philippine solar power producer listed on the Philippine Stock Exchange, RASLAG 4 is rated at 36.65-megawatt peak (MWp) and has been operational since October 2024. The project recently obtained its Certificate of Compliance from the Energy Regulatory Commission, confirming its status as a compliant operating renewable energy generation facility in the Philippines.

RASLAG 4 is expected to generate approximately 48 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of electricity annually in 2026 and 2027. This is enough to power around 20,000 households each year and displace approximately 34,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually.

Reyland Benjamin Nepomuceno, Chief Strategy Officer of RASLAG Corp., said, “RASLAG 4 marks another step in our work to expand homegrown renewable energy capacity and help meet the Philippines’ growing power demand. Connected to the 69-kilovolt transmission line of the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines, the project adds clean power capacity to the country’s grid. For a project of this scale, we needed solar modules backed by proven technology, dependable supply, and utility-scale project experience. Trinasolar brought these strengths to RASLAG 4, supporting our efforts to bring more renewable power to Filipino communities.”

Elva Wang, Group Director for Southeast Asia at Trinasolar, said, “Trinasolar is proud to be part of RASLAG 4, which adds reliable renewable energy to the Philippines’ power grid. The Philippines is an important market for Trinasolar, where we have worked with partners since 2013 to support utility-scale solar deployment. As power demand continues to grow, we will continue supporting the market with solar and energy storage solutions that strengthen the country’s clean energy infrastructure.”

BC.GAME Adds Support for CASHCAT as Robinhood Chain Activity Surges

Published

on

By

BELIZE CITY, Belize, July 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As activity across Robinhood Chain continues to build, BC.GAME has added support for CASHCAT, allowing users to use the token directly on the platform.

Robinhood Chain has attracted significant trading activity since launch. Recent reports show that its daily decentralised exchange volume briefly moved ahead of Hyperliquid, while total DEX volume approached $1 billion during its first week and the network attracted more than 350,000 addresses. Interest around RWA, DeFi tools and CASHCAT has helped drive attention towards the emerging ecosystem.

CASHCAT is one of the earliest community tokens to gain wider attention on Robinhood Chain. Its name is linked to the Cash Cat character previously associated with Robinhood. As trading activity and community interest around the network have grown, CASHCAT has become one of the more recognisable assets within the ecosystem.

For BC.GAME, adding CASHCAT is not simply about listing another token. It reflects the platform’s broader approach to keeping pace with how the crypto market evolves.

BC.GAME has always taken a crypto-first approach to product development. From Bitcoin, Ethereum and stablecoins to newer assets from different blockchain ecosystems, the platform continues to expand the range of tokens and networks available to users.

A BC.GAME spokesperson said:

Crypto moves quickly, and our users are always paying attention to new chains, assets and communities. Supporting CASHCAT is part of how we continue expanding token coverage and responding to what users are actually interested in.”

Rather than limiting users to a small number of established cryptocurrencies, BC.GAME aims to provide access to a broader range of digital assets while keeping deposits, withdrawals and platform use simple.

BC.GAME will continue expanding its token and network coverage while improving the overall crypto experience across the platform. As Robinhood Chain develops further, the platform will also continue assessing other relevant assets based on market interest and user demand.
