Party leader Kevin Falcon says in a statement that Rustad, who represents Nechako Lakes in central B.C., has been removed for what he says is a"pattern of behaviour" that isn't supportive of the caucus.
Rustad had shared a tweet on Sunday by Patrick Moore, director of the CO2 Coalition, that said the case for carbon dioxide being the"control knob" for climate"gets weaker every day" and included the hashtag"Celebrate CO2."Falcon says in a statement that while the party encourages a diversity of perspectives, these have to exist on a foundation of mutual respect and trust, which Rustad had breached.
On Wednesday, Falcon tweeted that the party was"strongly committed to substantive climate action," and that he wanted B.C. to be a world leader in climate policy.Note to readers: This is a corrected story. A previous version quoted Patrick Moore's tweet as saying the case regarding climate and carbon dioxide was"getting weaker by the day". In fact, the tweet said the case"gets weaker every day".

B.C. Liberals remove MLA John Rustad after 'Celebrate CO2' tweetVICTORIA — The Opposition B.C. Liberals have removed MLA John Rustad from the party caucus after he retweeted comments that questioned the role of carbon dioxide in climate change. To much money to ask questions about the global warming grift. He tells the truth, liberal views are propaganda. Punishing free speech. No point in changing their name, a Liberal is a Liberal, no matter what they call themselves. Like the Trudeau Liberals, BC members will not speak or think unless it is approved. We had hoped for better, but are getting the same garbage.

B.C. Liberal leader boots John Rustad from caucus over climate change denial“I have removed MLA John Rustad from the B.C. Liberal Caucus effective immediately,” Falcon said in a statement Thursday afternoon. Zealous leaders. God forbid if people have a different opinion. The matter has not been settled this argument and the 'denier' label only is meant to silence. Science is open to all. BC Liberals offer nothing to British Columbians, just money launderers.
