Worthy materials and sources will continue to be posted here involving Holistic Management of Resources, Best Management Practices and ecologically winning techniques. Initially we have a lot of information on this web site about the Kiskatinaw River Ranch; however, as we move along with our continuing web site development, several other outstanding forage & livestock ranching operations will also be highlighted. Please see this page for Ecological Winners in the Kiskatinaw River Valley.
We believe that pursuing proper grazing management techniques is altogether one of the most economically exciting ecologically necessary, and personally self fulfilling ventures occurring in agriculture over the past decade, currently and into the foreseeable future in the four Western Provinces. Much of this information transfer that feeds this situation is forage association to forage association and member to member to member; this type of activity is predicted to move along at an ever increasing rate into the future! Hence, the Reading Room has an important part to play in this highly desirable flow of information transfer amongst ranchers and farmers as we mosey along through the 21st century.
Tim Ball spent a lot of his life in the Winnipeg and Manitoba area. First as an Aircraft Navigations Officer with an air crew in the Canadian Air Force involved in Search and Rescue work in Canada’s arctic. It is here that Ball developed his interest in meteorology.
Post military he enrolled at the University of Winnipeg earning both a Bachelors degree in geography, then a Masters degree too. From 1972 –1982 he was a lecturer and then in 1982 he Achieved his Doctor of Science with his thesis on “Climate Change in Central Canada”. As a university of Winnipeg professor from 1982 – 1996, he also earned a PhD in Climatology as Doctor of Science in Climatology from Queen Mary College, University of London.
Dr. Ball is a well known climate scientist in Western Canada as he has often spoken at various agricultural conventions and seminars in the late 20th century and now into our current century. He currently lives in the Victoria area.
He is also a believer in long, medium and short term climate cycles and in using all the historic data available such as Hudson Bay Company fur trading records and information from both Missionaries and First Nations, plus delving into ancient climate records courtesy of Archeology and other pertinent science.
Anyone who has ever met Dr. Ball or listened to one of his presentations realized that Ball is a man who thoroughly understands and practices the scientific process properly. From a scientific idea or theory through normal, well documented testing procedures to a rigorous peer review at the end before the original idea is declared scientifically correct and therefore a fact or process that can be legitimately pursued within the scientific community and released to taxpayers and governments for their use..
One Canadian in particular stands out in the investigations of corruptions of climate process. Maurice Strong, a close associate of Trudeau the Elder, and a man who strongly believed in one world government; and, he further believed in the destruction of the capitalistic-industrial countries economies by the one world government. In his life time he was CEO of Power Corporation in Montreal, Petro Canada in Calgary; Ontario Hydro in Toronto; furthermore he was a man of considerable skill in applying his beliefs. Strong chose the UN as his vessel and had tremendous influence in creating various agencies and panels of the UN to advance “his kind of science” towards his ultimate political goal: UN Environment program ( UNEP),World Metrological Organization (WMO); Climate Research Unit (CRU) ; Intergovernmental Panel on Climatic Change (IPCC).
Strong of course during his lifetime (deceased November 2015) used the UN to advance his lifelong beliefs by “his kind of science” towards his political goal through the efforts of hundreds of scientists.
The information presented in “The Deliberate Corruption of Climate Science” is a result of the thorough investigations into Climate Research programs by Dr. Ball and into the workings of the various UN agencies and panels concerning themselves with manmade global warming and climate change due to ever increasing C02 emissions leading to the doom of the world.
By the time you have completed this game changing book you of course realize that Global Warming is very over overrated, the earth’s climate has been changing for millions of years and that Carbon Dioxide is plant food; for instance, if you want more tomato and cucumber production - load up your green house with C02!
So with bonafide science in the rearview mirror you suspect billions and billions of dollars of tax payers money has likely been wasted in pursuit of bureaucratic goals and political solutions like RIO 92 and Copenhagen 2009?
