Ask U.S. president Barack Obama your question.
Dangerous fires in Western Canada!
Hello gentle people: Remember global warming? It is still with us and getting worse and until we remove the industrial domination from within our governments and place nature above corporate greed, our children and grand children will face more than a few unnatural life devastating scenarios!
Remember that song: 'Don't let the smoke get in your eyes?' Out West in Canada, today, July 2, 2015, forest fires are out of control and more than a few clustered near the Athabasca Oil sands. Gee! I wonder why? Could it possibly be that the Tar Sand investors want to clear the forest in order to find Bitumen oil closer to the surface. No! They wouldn't do that in a country that values its environment...or would they?
"Oil sand mining has a large impact on the environment. Forests must be cleared for both open-pit and in situ mining. Pit mines can grow to more than 80 meters depth, as massive trucks remove up to 720,000 tons of sand every day. As of September 2011, roughly 663 square kilometers (256 square miles) of land had been disturbed for oil sand mining."
I can only imagine what would happen if the Tar sands caught fire!

Here is a report from NASA. http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOTD/
----------------------------
The 2015 fire season got off to an unusually early start in Canada when blazes broke out in the Northwest Territories, British Columbia, and Alberta in late May. As the season has progressed, the air in western Canada—as well as large swaths of the United States—grew gray and hazy with smoke.
Beginning on June 28, a sharp trough in the jet stream sent a river of smoke streaming south into the United States. By June 29, smoke darkened the skies over much of Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, and Iowa.
On June 29, 2015, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite captured this image of smoke from hundreds of wildfires in western Canada. Actively burning areas, detected by the thermal bands on MODIS, are outlined in red, while forests appear dark green. The image below shows shows a closer view of smoke and fires burning in northern Alberta near the Athabasca oil sands. While hundreds of fires are burning throughout Canada, some of the fires producing the most smoke are clustered in this area.

"Monsanto, one of the world's most evil corporations!"
Dear Joseph,
Monsanto, one of the world’s most evil corporations, just keeps getting worse. Monsanto's latest victims? Poverty-stricken Indian farmers.
Back in 2012, 13,754 farmers in India committed suicide. That’s one suicide every 38 minutes.
Why? Massive, crippling debts, made worse by exorbitant annual fees charged by Monsanto for seeds.
There’s no way poor Indian farmers can stand up to Monsanto alone. So we’re launching a campaign to demand that Monsanto stop charging the crippling annual royalties causing so much suffering.
Monsanto's GMO crops were introduced in India in 2002, and since then there’s been a sharp rise in the suicide rate among Indian farmers -- and it’s not hard to see why.
For centuries, farmers made a living by saving seeds from one year’s crop to the next.
But today, Monsanto is claiming patent rights over seeds -- the fundamental source of all plant life -- and forcing farmers to pay for new seeds every single year.
The result is a crippling cycle of poverty, from which farmers see no way out.
Mega-corporations like Monsanto act like they can destroy people’s lives as long as they’re improving shareholder returns. But time and again we’re showing these corporations that we will shine a light on the practices they want to hide in the shadows.
Like when Newmont mining company sent a private security firm to intimidate Máxima Acuña Chaupe, thousands of us chipped in to bring her allies to Newmont’s shareholder meeting where the CEO pledged to stop development of the mine.
As Vandana Shiva has said, when corporations control seeds, they control life. Monsanto is taking a renewable common resource and turning it into a non renewable, patented commodity.
We know that Indian farmers can’t fight Monsanto alone. That’s why SumOfUs was created -- to leverage the global power of consumers from around the world to fight multinational corporations together.
Thanks for all you do,
Kaytee, Jon and the team at SumOfUs
P.S. Over 100,000 of us have signed to keep Monsanto's lobbyists at arms distance in the U.S. Presidential race -- but Monsanto's reach is truly global. Will you make a donation today to help farmers in India too?
Will you chip in CA$1 to help get this campaign off the ground?

Hello Elon Musk:
The one problem left with your wonderful Tesla all electric cars is the problem of distance. Some people claim your cars do not go far enough on a single charge. They do acknowledge, begrudgingly, that Tesla's insane speed of 3.1 seconds from a dead stop to Sixty miles an hour can and does leave most internal combustion engines far...far...far behind, however, they continue to rant that Tesla vehicles do not have the ability to travel long distances.
They of course say this in order to continue selling their internal combustion gas burning polluters. The oil and gas and internal combustion engine companies continue to economically dominate the world markets and they have done and continue to do everything possible to stop competitors from winning a share in that market. It all began with John D. Rockefeller but that is another story.
Using the distance card is the only game they have left. They claim a Tesla does not travel far enough on a single charge and that it takes a Tesla car a few hours longer to travel across the country. So what if Tesla vehicles do not burn gas or make pollution while travelling thousands of Kilo-meters at insane speeds! For them Tesla's do not have enough power to travel long distances.......until now!
Yes, you read the words correctly! Until now! For extra distance all a Tesla will need (or any Electric car for that matter) in conjunction with national and international super-charging stations, is an electricity producing generator to help charge the batteries as the car travels a longer distance. A new and inexpensive non polluting water splitter will create Hydrogen on board the vehicle to help charge electric car batteries. A Stanford University scientist has developed a water splitter that runs on an ordinary AAA battery. It is cheap to make and it can split water into Hydrogen and Oxygen for a full 24 hours a day Seven days a week. The potential for this new device is extraordinary! Combining a well made Hydrogen water splitter and sending the Hydrogen it creates to a Fuel Cell can produce electricity. How much electricity is another question but I am willing to wager it will be enough to provide an extra charge for long range batteries without too many problems. Why am I willing to bet? Because Hydrogen is already in use as an alternative fuel.
Tesla and all the other Electric cars will be leaving internal combustion cars very...very...very far behind.
Have a great future!

Attention gentle Google people! This site is not owned by me, Joseph Raglione or the world humanitarian peace and ecology movement. Google provided this site for my use and I placed over a hundred articles and a super Index upon this site.
I once wrote for the American Chronicles and that group attracted over 17 million readers. You will discover that as I continue to attract readers Google will benefit.
