Gentle readers of this blog. Festering anger is an emotion I intensely dislike. It is an anger I am feeling towards my Canadian government and towards all politicians and business people involved with the production and delivery of fossil fuels. It is what I feel when I see the horrible deaths of thousands of helpless Philippino people created by a destructive Typhoon the size and strength of which has not been recorded in human history. This festering anger burns inside of me every time I see a car commercial on television and every time I am forced to watch a government sponsored commercial depicting how creating oil pipelines will help develop our Canadian economy. I connected the dots years ago. Fossil fuels create warm air and that in turn creates warm Ocean waters and that creates extremely dangerous Hurricanes and Cyclones. Our so called political and economic leaders pretend they do not believe in global warming. I honestly wish they all lived in the Philippines. What feeds my anger is the certain knowledge that these cold blooded commercial human beings are the indirect cause of the most horrific climate disasters ever to curse our lives! My anger burns deep! It is the absolute knowledge that we could have slowed climate change years ago when U.S. Senator Al Gore first provided us with solid science based evidence of man made global warming. For his honest efforts, Al Gore was chastised and dismissed by global warming deniers who today continue to deride and obstruct any efforts to slow climate change. Why? Because it is not in their economic best interests to allow alternative energy systems to exist! The proof of that became evident when the first efficient Electric Cars produced by the General Motors company, were literally forced off the market by Oil rich Republican president Bush and his new pro Oil government. The U.S. Electric cars were completely destroyed but the concept was not killed. Today, the honourable Japanese have brought back the Electric Cars and more than a few international companies have followed suit; but is it too little too late? Has time run out on all of us? Within the last ten years C02 emissions in the atmosphere have jumped up and off the science charts. CO2 emissions are created almost completely by burning fossil fuels into the atmosphere. With warmer air the Arctic ice has melted and our Oceans have become a birthing ground for Hurricanes and Cyclones the size of continents. Today I am pointing the finger directly at every human being who is creating and pumping Carbon pollution into our atmosphere and sadly, that includes myself. I could have made stronger efforts to stop the pollution! Signed: Joseph Raglione Executive Director: The World Humanitarian Peace and Ecology Movement. P.S. Hello President Putin! Please free your Greenpeace political prisoners. Eleven Nobel prize winners believe in Greenpeace and they also believe you should free the Greenpeace crew as an Olympic games goodwill gesture. The Olympic games are a world peace movement and you are creating a negative image for yourself and for Russia by keeping Greenpeace members locked in your prison. Don't allow the Sochi Olympic games to become a laughing stock for the world.
