Nelson,

How do you get a politician to listen to your demand for system change? You paint a giant mural right next to where they work. That’s what Greenpeace activists, volunteers and allies are doing right now at Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault’s office in Montreal. We’re taking to the streets to demand a strong Nature & Biodiversity Act in advance of the biggest nature protection event of the decade—the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD).

The best way you can support our activists on the ground is by sharing this Instagram post to your IG story and tagging @stevenguilbeault. We have proof that Steven Guilbeault checks his Instagram story mentions, so this is the very best way to draw his attention to our action. 

Nelson, the decisions global leaders make at the CBD are existentially significant. We have just eight years to reduce emissions by 50% to prevent total climate chaos and the potential collapse of human civilization. [1, 2] Protecting vast swaths of ocean and natural ecosystems (which absorb carbon and stabilize the climate) will be absolutely critical to this effort. So why—when we have less than a decade to stabilize emissions—is Canada approving new oil projects in ecologically significant areas [3] and shoving pipelines through rivers during salmon runs? [4]


Enough is enough. We need major system change that deeply respects the inherent value and limits of nature. A strong Nature & Biodiversity Act that shifts power from corporations to communities, creates permanent funding for Indigenous stewardship, and establishes an action plan to achieve nature protection targets is an important first step to creating this change. That’s why we’re taking to the streets of Montreal today. 

You’ve already signed our petition advocating for a strong Nature & Biodiversity Act. Now, will you support our activists on the ground by sharing our Instagram post to your story and tagging @stevenguilbeault to ensure that our message is heard loud and clear? (Not on Instagram? You can also leave Steven Guilbeault a message at his House of Commons office: 613-992-6779)

Thank you for reading and thank you for caring. 

 

Onwards,

         We need government action. today!!

          Greenpeace demands stronger nature protections in both Montreal and Laval where condo development is running out of control. By cramming thousands of people on a few acres of city land, Condo developers are asking for trouble! There will be traffic problems and sewage problems and without sufficient Green spaces for children, greedy developers are creating slums! Slums are breeding grounds for drug gangs and violence!  N.J.R.

I BELIEVE IN ALL MIGHTY  "T.E.E.O.T.U."
By N. J. Raglione.

  Black holes lead me to think of the religious concept of creation and also on the science based concept of "A Big Bang". Here is my take on the all mighty T.E.E.O.T.U. No, not a misspelling...read on dear reader!

  I enjoy reading expert theories on how our Universe began. According to both religious scholars and science experts there was something that began the Universe. It led me to an impossible conclusion! The concept of Eternity. There was zero beginning and there will not be an ending! 
Millions of people today continue to believe in the concept of  a God while Millions more believe in a science based concept of a Big Bang or whatever it was they believe began our Universe. If there was a Big Bang, who lit the fuse? Was it God? What existed in the first place to create a beginning for everything else? If there was no beginning than eternal energy is mind boggling to contemplate and so in my philosophical theory...Hey! If everybody else can theorize why not me!?...human imagination took over in an effort to explain what could not be explained by any other method. Black holes were predicted by Albert Einstein who believed strongly in the power of imagination to help him understand the universe. I believe that he also contemplated a beginning to the universe but I am positive that when he contemplated eternal energy, he discovered the joy of total ignorance. Nobody on Earth understands how the Universe began and that includes (though they may disagree) the best scientific minds on Earth. As a philosophic writer I certainly don't understand the immensity of the Universe and so I have created a Deity to join the ranks of all the Deities on Earth: T. E.E.O.T.U. the all mighty!
No, I am not crazy! TEEOTU is an acronym for: The Eternal Energy of the Universe and no priest or philosopher or scientist fully understands T.E.E.O.T.U. even those presently using the marvellous new James Web telescope to explore deep deep deep space.
Have a great day and may you fully enjoy our mighty T.E.E.O.T.U!

Fossil fuel is responsible for 8.7 millions deaths world wide.

Taking a page from the tobacco industry’s playbook, fossil fuel companies are running ads that lie about the known health and environmental hazards of their products. And it’s perfectly legal.

Case in point? Gas companies like FortisBC falsely advertising that ‘natural’ gas is a clean and safe fuel, while not being required to tell its customers that children living in homes with gas stoves have up to a 42% increased risk of asthma (that’s comparable to living with a smoker).

These days Canada regulates advertising for tobacco, but still allows fossil fuel companies to get away with similar misinformation and greenwashing. This has to stop.

That’s why we’re joining over 700,000 Canadian health professionals who are urging the federal government to stop fossil fuel advertising, and put the health of people and the planet before fossil fuel profits. Click here to sign the petition.  

SIGN NOWWe all know that burning fossil fuels is what’s driving climate change – but it’s also time to reckon with the health impacts that are already affecting people in their homes and everyday lives. Fossil fuel air pollution is responsible for 8.7 million deaths per year worldwide (that’s more than from tobacco use). A shocking 86% of Canadians live in areas where air pollution exceeds the guidelines issued by the World Health Organization, resulting in 34,000 premature deaths in Canada each year. We also know that air pollution caused by burning fossil fuels for transportation increases the risk of illness and death from COVID-19. That’s on top of the warming impacts of climate change itself, including last year’s heat dome during which nearly 600 people died in British Columbia in just one week.

This is information that Canadians deserve to know – and we could – if fossil fuel companies were made to disclose these risks in their advertising.

Canada already regulates advertising for tobacco, cannabis, alcohol, gambling, credit cards, therapeutic services, prescription drugs, natural health products, food, and promotional contests. Why not start regulating advertising for fossil fuels that are directly threatening public and planetary health? People in Canada deserve the whole truth.

If you agree with the over half a million health professionals campaigning on this issue, click here to add your voice and help pressure the Canadian government to stop fossil fuel advertising.

I know that banning fossil fuel advertising sounds like an ambitious ask – but controlling tobacco advertising once seemed out of reach too, until it wasn’t.

And it’s in moments like these when the Stand.earth community does its best work. Over the past 20+ years, we’ve worked to protect millions of acres of forests from extractive industries. We’ve gone up against multinational oil, gas, and coal companies worth billions of dollars and come out victorious, blocking dozens of their projects that would have poisoned local communities and accelerated the climate crisis. We’ve shifted billions of dollars of purchasing from corporate powerhouses like Starbucks, Staples, and Levi’s onto sustainable pathways.

So thank you, Nelson, for being the driver of so many important wins. Greenwashing through advertising is simply the latest strategy being employed by fossil fuel companies who can no longer get away with blatant climate denial, and I know we won’t let them get away with it.

PUTIN'S MAD MAD MAD WORLD!

ATTENTION NEW YORK TIMES

THIS ARTICLE IS NO LONGER EXLUSIVE FOR GOOGLE NEWS.

 

GENTLE PEOPLE:

 Apparently the concept of mutually assured destruction or M.A.D. does not worry Vladimir Putin of Russia, 

 Most people believe that Putin is insane and his horrendous attack on innocent people within the Ukraine is proof of insanity; but there might be a method to his madness! A recent report from the Asian continent claims that Mr. Putin created a network of Hypersonic intercontinental nuclear missiles and placed them within the Arctic Circle. If the report is true, Hypersonic missiles can evade Western anti-missile defences.  

 What I believe is that Putin is either a good bluff-poker player or a mad genius. While world attention is focused on the Ukraine, Putin is laying claim to the Arctic and all the minerals that lie under the Arctic. He may also be claiming for himself and for Russia, a shipping passage through the melting ice. A passage made possible because of global warming.

 What Putin may not be aware of or has chosen to ignore, is how many nuclear missiles are closer to Russia than he realizes. He will have to destroy every city on the European and Western continents within minutes and hope nobody retaliates. He may also fail to understand that soon, very soon, nobody will buy or sell Oil because of Global warming. Melting ice caps may give Putin his Arctic passage but there will not be an international market for oil or even the minerals he dredges up from the sea floor. The Arctic and Antarctic are protected world sanctuaries and Russia will be under international sanctions for a very long time! Also important for Putin to understand, is that after a nuclear holocaust, NOBODY IS LEFT TO BUY OIL! The West will be dead BUT SO WILL RUSSIA. Millions upon millions of people dead because SICK AND CRAZY VLADIMIR PUTIN WANTS MORE TERRITORY!

  The fact that 'mutually assured destruction' destroys everybody does not seem to bother Putin.  I believe and I may be wrong, that he is a cold blooded sick and dying old man. I presume he does not care if his legacy is total death and destruction. The report that he has Hypersonic missiles may be true or a prefabricated propaganda lie created to terrify the world into submission. Well Mr. Putin here is a message I believe you may not appreciate. Millions of people are ignoring you and continuing to live free and happy lives. 

I, however, wish you a very bad day!

An explanation for Gravity? N.J. Raglione.

   What can be said about the gravitational effect of our Sun? I believe gravity is the reaction created by  sub-atomic movement within the Sun proportional to the mass of the Sun. Sir Isaac Newton conjectured that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. I believe gravity is created when complete Atoms fall into the sub-atomic vacuum holes of incomplete Atoms. Vacuum holes are created when Atoms are smashed apart by pressure and heat.

 1. The Sun is a large Hydrogen fusion reactor so hot it creates a giant ball of plasma.

 2.  Our Sun's Plasma is intense and creates an explosive effect which scatters sub-atomic particles into space in the form of radiation and heat and light photons. This explosive effect creates a gravitational back-lash.

 3.  When Atoms split they create an explosive chain reaction which releases tremendous amounts of energy. When Atoms fuse together they create a Plasma which also releases energy in the form of radiative heat and light photons. Both fission and fusion generate heat and light and both create vacuum holes. If we apply Newton's law, both fission and fusion create equal and opposite sub-atomic reactions.

 4.  Hydrogen fusion creaes a plasma so intense it creates an explosive force. A force which breaks apart Atoms and sends the sub-atomic particles of heat and light far out into space.  This creates a vacuum proportional to the explosive force. When an explosive force is so strong it radiates light Photons and heat millions of miles out into space, it creates a vacuum effect. A reactive elastic effect I believe is gravity. We feel the heat and light radiation down here on Earth. 

  The Sun's gravity attracts outside energy. When energy falls into the Sun, the process creates what Einstein called large holes in space. A vacuum hole which attracts even more energy, specifically the energy of several Planets, including Earth, and keeps us all circling around the Sun.

.5.   If Newton is correct, for every action there is a reaction and for our sun the reaction to Hydrogen fusion is (in my opinion) gravity. Gravity is not fully understood but one theory under study is that Gravity is created by Plasma fusing Atoms at tremendous speed and creating small sub-Atomic vacuum holes during the process. With enough accumulated vacum spaces, you have outside Atoms falling into and filling the holes. 

 6. You don't need a Sun to create gravity, almost every large mass has gravity including for example, our Moon. If you look deep inside the Moon you will discover a molten mass of plasma. The same goes for our Earth. I believe there is a connection between Plasma and gravity. I believe Sub-Atomic spaces are created by the heat of Plasma multiplied proportionally by the mass of the Sun or the Earth or the Moon. These small sub-Atomic vacuum spaces create more or less a trap for energy which we mistakenly call the "force" of gravity. Gravity is more like the hole in a bath tub than a "force".

 The Hydrogen in water for example, is attracted to our Moon creating Ocean tides that rise and fall as the Moon circles the Earth. The Moon's comparitively small sub-Atomic gravity is creating a vacuum effect in space which attracts the Hydrogen in water, while our Earth's larger gravity keeps the Moon circling around the Earth. 

7. When Hydrogen in space is sucked into the sun by gravity, it becomes an explosive fuel which creates Plasma and blasts heat and light outwards into space. The sun also, surprisingly, creates Helium which here on Earth, is a lighter than air gas.    

8.  For every action there is a reaction and I may be wrong but I believe a large Mass of energy attracts a  smaller Mass of energy with a reactive force created within Atoms. As gravity forces Atoms to unite into solid forms, they create inward pressure. That pressure creates heat and that heat creates plasma which becomes a concentrated explosive force outwards, and which consequently creates a reactive and opposite and diffused inward effect...gravity.  

 The gravity of a mass attracts positive energy. The heat and pressure of our Sun, for example, smashes atoms into sub-atomic particles and creates an explosive effect which sends those particles out into space.  An explosive force of pressurized consentrated energy exploded outwards from the mass creates a vacuum which, because nature abhors a vacuum, needs to be filled.

   Our Sun is a large Hydrogen fusion reactor which creates a giant ball of Plasma so hot it fuses Atoms together creating Helium and consequently, tiny vacuum holes within Atoms. Plasma creates heat and  the speed of sub-Atomic energy creates tiny vacuum spaces when sub-atomic particles are blasted out into space. Photons are a good example. When explosive Hydrogen creates heat and Plasma, the Plasma is so hot it fuses more Atoms together at lightning speed radiating heat and photons outwards. Atoms fuse together at tremendous speed, they create reactive spaces much like a truck on a highway creates a vacuum turbulence. Air quickly fills the vacuum space created behind the truck and theoretically, the same thing happens with gravity. New Atoms fill the spaces when pressure and heat fuse and force sub-atomic particles outwards into space. The reaction creates sub Atomic holes which are quickly filled in.  with new Atoms, mainly Hydrogen Atoms which fall into the Sun to become part of the fusion process. This filling in process I call gravity.

  All mass is composed of Atomic energy. The larger the mass the more Atomic energy it generates.

The pressurizing effect of gravity sends Atoms inward creating heat and plasma. When enough heat occurs inside the mass of the Earth, for example, it creates an expanding outward force of plasma. Exploding Volcanos are a good example of  Plasma forcing itself outwards. At the same moment plasma is forced outwards, according to Sir Isaac Newton's theory, an opposite effect is created and energy from an erupting Volcano is often diffused into a seismic Earth quake or a massive Tidal wave. With a Tidal wave, for example, water is often sucked back and compressed before it continues forward on its destructive course. 

 Gravity attracts and compresses and diffuses energy inwards. This compression of energy creates heat and the larger is a mass of energy, so proportionally is the gravitational effect created when sub-atomic holes are created. Since Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, Hydrogen is quickly attracted to the mass of the Earth and combines with Oxygen to create water. While this is occurring down here on Earth, high above our heads the Sun's gravity is vacuuming explosive Hydrogen inwards filling in sub-atomic holes and providing explosive fuel for the Sun's fusion reaction. When Hydrogen fusion creates Plasma, it explodes outwards to make heat and Sunshine for all life on Earth.

WE ARE ALL DOOOOMED OR ARE WE?

 GENTLE PEOPLE!


 THERE ARE SEVERAL MILLION NEW EMIGRANTS ENTERING THE U.S. AND CANADA, BOTH LEGALLY AND ILLIGALLY, IN SEARCH OF ASYLUM AND EMPLOYMENT. THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA HAS OPENED THE GATES AND THE PRICE OF EVERYTHING HAS GONE UP!

THE PRICE OF FOOD HAS GONE UP AND WE CAN HEAR THE SCREAMS OF PEOPLE TERRIFIED OF STARVING TO DEATH!! WHAT CAN THEY POSSIBLY DO TO SAVE THEMSELVES? HOW ABOUT PLANTING A SIMPLE VICTORY GARDEN TODAY IN THE BACK YARD INSTEAD OF CUTTING GRASS WITH A GAS POLLUTING LAWN MOWER?

  WITHIN FORTY DAYS YOU WILL HAVE BEANS AND CUCUMBERS ALONG WITH  RADISHES AND TOMATOES AND CARROTS, ALL READY TO EAT. IT ONLY TAKES A FEW FEET OF LAND, HOWEVER, GARDENS DO NEED TO BE WEEDED! YOU MIGHT HAVE TO DO A LITTLE BIT OF WORK TO REMOVE UNWANTED GRASS! YOU CAN ALSO GROW FOOD IN POTS ON YOUR ROOF. 

THERE ARE NOW THOUSANDS OF NEW GREENHOUSES ACROSS CANADA AND LARGE GARDEN BUILDINGS WITHIN CITIES PRODUCING VEGETABLES FOR THOUSANDS OF CITY PEOPLE. THESE PESTICIDE FREE GREENHOUSES AND VERTICAL GARDENS ARE BEING CREATED ALL OVER THE WORLD TO OFF-SET ONCE ARABLE LAND FOOLISHLY DESTROYED BY HUMAN EXPLOITATION. GLOBAL WARMING IS ALSO A FACTOR MOTIVATING THE CREATION OF THESE VERTICAL GARDENS AND SO WHY NOT ASK YOUR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO CREATE A FEW THOUSAND MORE TEN STORY TOWER GARDENS FILLED WITH CLEAN AND TASTY VEGETABLES. WHILE YOU ARE AT IT, WHY NOT ASK FOR MORE CO-OP HOUSEING FOR THE THOUSANDS OF HOMELESS PEOPLE NOW FILLING OUR CITY STREETS? THEY CAN HELP WORK IN THE GARDENS!

YOU CAN GROW TOMATOES IN POTS OR IN SMALL TWO FOOT SQUARE GARDEN PLOTS DUG NEAR YOUR FENCE LINE.  THEY DON'T TAKE UP MUCH SPACE.  HAPPY GARDENING!  N.J.R.

 

WE ARE DOOOMED TO BE HAPPY!

 HELLO GENTLE PEOPLE!

 For all investors worried about losing money in the stock market, these facts will make you feel better.

 Fact number 1. Vladimir Putin and his generals are not the Russian people. In Russia today there is not a wave of national patriotism hailing Putin as a hero! There is, however, fear and desperation created by Putin's despotic leadership. He has arrested and imprisoned  his own citizens who dared speak up against the war in Ukraine. Putin is responsible for and continues to generate a war in Ukraine because he lost the gamble to recreate the Russian empire. It is now a failed personal dream he had of restructuring the old Communist empire. His dream is not shared by the Russian people who are suffering from international sanctions. His dream is pathological with the consequence that he no longer scares people even with his saber rattling threat of nuclear war. His days are numbered. Goodbye Putin!

Fact number 2. 

The World does not need Russia!  

 North America, Europe and China do not need Russian products.

North America has wheat fields: plenty of grain, Cattle, Chickens and Pigs. China and most of Asia have rice fields. The world does not need Russia.

 And now for some extra good news. Vertical farms are producing thousands of pounds of vegetables and they are reducing weather related agricultural problems. No more pesticides and plenty of food for people in cities everywhere. Wind turbines, Solar panels and cleaner nuclear reactors are now producing electricity all over North America while the world waits for the new fusion reactors to come on line.

New technology is exploding everywhere with China in the lead. Around the world Electric cars are taking over the roads in the face of desperate oil and gas producers, including Russia. In short, chin up, the stock markets will rise!   N.J.R.

  Hello my good friend Valdemar Oliveira! I am happy to hear you had a successfull heart operation.  I hope you live to be 110. I may not be...
