I pray even though I ain't religious that we can turn this around before I become dust. This Planet Earth is "The Garden of Eden" and the most beautiful planet in the Universe? Why would you want to destroy it for paper goods? [stocks bonds money] Nut cases all of them. How would you enjoy it if you welcomed me into your beautiful home and I destroyed it? No I don't think so...<br /><br />Harper and his con clowns have to go.

I'm as guilty as anyone of heaping blame on the politicos when a good deal of the fault needs to be spread around. <br /><br />Polls have found that Canadians' concerns about climate change fade quickly when they're asked if they would accept a monetary sacrifice to support some sort of meaningful action. That, of course, is enough to anchor political inaction.<br /><br />Yet I wonder if the public vacillation is largely the result of government failing to have the essential "dialogue" with the people. Without establishing an information-based foundation it's hard to imagine how we can build a popular consensus. Disseminating the information required for the dialogue needed to reach consensus is an "all of government" task, a truly Herculean chore. The Conservative government, however, wilfully stands mute. No information, no dialogue, no consensus.<br /><br />One thing we know is that the window of opportunity for action is closing fairly rapidly. That creates an added urgency in consensus building. Trudeau says he'll act but I'm skeptical as to whether he grasps the urgency of the situation.<br />The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-9081737028978638152014-12-31T12:52:02.507-08:002014-12-31T12:52:02.507-08:00Dyer has been warning for decades now that climate...Dyer has been warning for decades now that climate change is the world's biggest problem, Mound.<br /><br />Still, no one seems to be listening.Owen Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06464860078574618579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-85711040929058949882014-12-31T12:45:43.805-08:002014-12-31T12:45:43.805-08:00.. exceptional analogies Mound.. & timely arti..... exceptional analogies Mound.. & timely article..<br />More and more I've described fracking as such a bizarre Pandoras Box enriching foreign entities that Canada subsidizes to pollute land, water and air & atmosphere <br /><br />In a nutshell <br />- we divert & transport fresh water from streams, wells, lakes & rivers.. plus condensate pipelines <br />- we prick the earth's mantle with millions of drill holes & release toxins & GHGs to the winds & atmosphere <br />- then inject the water now laced with unidentified toxins back into the earth & hydrology at varying depths<br />- use endless pipelines crossing environment & habitat to move extracted oil & gas towards China<br /><br />Of all people I don't need to inform you regarding any of this.. nor the stage including Chinese supertankers currently under construction to carry 'our' resources away from 'tidewater' as that pompous ass millionaire Joe Oliver likes to call the BC coastline, its inhabitants, ecosystems & cultures.<br /><br />What truly infuriates me is the sheer ignorance, malignancy and duplicity of captured sellout political jackals & their esteemed energy partners in the Great Swindle & impending environmental atrocities.<br /><br />These rapture ridden political extremists will eliminate any number of keychain species and/or their habitat via omnibus legislation, whipped votes and as an added insult, stand to clap in thunderous applause in Question Period as glib liars frauds and complete fools game and groom our Parliament.<br /><br />I don't give a damn if any of them are fired, go to jail or are caught with sex workers.. I care that real Canadians figure out how to turf them and trash any legacy or pensions these pricks, male of female are dreaming on. the salamanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06853337802990122289noreply@blogger.com
