Views on Climate Change
On January 2, 2017, McIntyre - while speaking to the press - asserted that man made climate change is not the primary cause of the planet's warming. This is in conflict with the current Scientific opinion on climate change, which asserts a 95% confidence that climate change is primarily caused by man.
The Alberta New Democratic Party - which holds a majority government in the legislature - responded by requesting that the Wildrose Party - the official opposition - remove Don MacIntyre from his position as energy critic. Leduc-Beaumont NDP MLA Shaye Anderson was quoted saying "“It’s irresponsible to lend climate change-denying conspiracies the credibility of the office of the Official Opposition. Unless (Wildrose Leader Brian) Jean agrees with what Mr. MacIntyre is saying, he must remove him from his position.”".
The Wildrose Party responded by issuing a statement that “We get calls daily from Albertans living in NDP-held ridings furious that their MLAs are not listening to their opposition to the carbon tax. I suggest they spend their time listening to those concerns,” - in reference to the 20 dollars per ton carbon tax put in place by the Alberta government.
