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.

 

The world does not need Russia.

 HELLO GENTLE PEOPLE!

 For all investors worried about losing money because of Putin's war in the Ukraine, 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.

Up and Down and Up again. Who cares?

The stock market is in decline. So who cares?

This is a moment for investors to remind themselves not to panic, says Lisa Kramer, a professor at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management who studies the interplay between human emotion and markets. “Fear doesn’t drive good decision making,” she says. “If you look at your portfolio every day or multiple times a day, it will just look more volatile.” With that in mind, Prof. Kramer has started to minimize her consumption of market and economic news. (In other words, read this story, but then step away from the screen.)

Could all the recession talk actually be a sign we’re reaching a bottom? After all, when even Cardi B is weighing in on the business cycle, surely that means pessimism is reaching a saturation point. Perhaps, says Mr. Atwater, but the mood in markets still feels more like “impatience rather than capitulation.” For his part, Mr. Grantham argues a bottom won’t come until investors are “terrified” to own stocks.

The bears, meanwhile, continue to accumulate data points they say prove their case: inventory pileups at retailers, weakening corporate profit outlooks, plunging auto sales. And as of Friday, the mood in America reached a devastating new low: The University of Michigan’s consumer sentiment index fell to 50.8, a level not seen since the gauge was created in the1950s. 

===

Why so negative? 

The two main reasons are

1. Covid 19

2. Putin's prolonged and devastating attack on the Ukraine...without his desired result. 

Both are no longer believed to be serious threats and the stock markets will recover.     N.J.R.

Ukraine and Russia: What you need to know right now

June 9 (Reuters) - Ukrainian troops claimed on Thursday to have pushed forward in intense street fighting in the eastern city of Sievierodonetsk but said their only hope of turning the tide was more artillery to offset Russia's massive firepower. read more 

* The battle for Sievierodonetsk is being waged house to house and at times under heavy Russian artillery barrages that endangered troops on both sides, the commander of Ukraine's Svoboda (Freedom) National Guard battalion said.

* Ukrainian forces still hold the industrial zone and adjacent areas in Sievierodonetsk and the situation is "difficult but manageable", but evacuating 10,000 remaining civilians is now impossible, Mayor Oleksandr Stryuk said.

* The Ukrainian Defence Ministry said its forces had won back some territory from Russian forces in a counter-offensive in the Kherson area of southern Ukraine. Reuters was unable to independently verify the situation on the ground.

* Two Britons and a Moroccan who were captured while fighting for Ukraine could face the death penalty after pleading guilty in a court of one of Russia's proxies in eastern Ukraine, Russia's RIA news agency reported. read more 

* Western-supplied artillery systems are already making a difference on the ground for Ukraine and it is "just a question of time" before its forces win back significant ground in the south, the governor of the Mykolaiv region said. read more

ECONOMIC IMPACT

* The Kremlin said no agreement had been reached to sell grain from Ukraine to Turkey - which Ukraine says Russia has stolen from it - but that work on a deal was continuing. Moscow denies stealing the grain but the United States says there are credible reports that Russia is "pilfering" it. read more

* Millions of people may starve because of Russia's blockade of Ukraine's Black Sea ports, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said. The world, he said, faces a "terrible food crisis" with Ukraine unable to export large amounts of wheat, corn and oil. Russia has blamed the crisis on Ukrainian mines laid at sea and international sanctions against Moscow. read more

"Yesterday was successful for us - we launched a counteroffensive and in some areas we managed to push them back one or two blocks. In others they pushed us back, but just by a building or two," he said in a televised interview.

"Yesterday the occupiers suffered serious losses - if every day were like yesterday, this would all be over soon."

But he said his forces were suffering from a "catastrophic" lack of counter-battery artillery to fire back at Russia's guns, and getting such weapons would transform the battlefield.

"Even without these systems, we are holding on fine. There is an order to hold our positions and we are holding them. It is unbelievable what the surgeons are doing without the proper equipment to save soldiers' lives."

Sievierodonetsk Mayor Oleksandr Stryuk said on Thursday around 10,000 civilians were still trapped inside the city - around a tenth of its pre-war population.

To the west of Sievierodonetsk, Russia is pushing from the north and south, trying to trap Ukrainian forces in the Donbas region comprising Luhansk and neighbouring Donetsk province, blasting Ukrainian-controlled towns in their path with artillery.

In Soledar, a salt-mining town near Bakhmut close to the front line, buildings had been blasted into craters.

Remaining residents, mostly elderly, were sheltering in a crowded cellar. A woman peeled potatoes and swatted away flies. Men lay asleep on cots. Kateryna, 85, curled up under a blanket, her hair wrapped in a scarf.

"It will be as God shall give," she said, her voice drowned out by the sound of barking dogs.

Antonina, 65, had ventured out to see her garden. "We are staying. We live here. We were born here." She sobbed: "When is it all going to end?"

HUMAN IMPACT

* Tourists once flocked to the Ukrainian resort of Odesa to lie on its Black Sea beaches, but the white sands are now covered in mines because of the war with Russia and police officers patrol the boardwalks. read more 

POLITICS

* Russia's proxies in occupied parts of Zaporizhzhia province announced plans to stage a referendum on joining Russia at an unspecified date later this year. read more 

QUOTES

* "This is a very brutal battle, very tough, perhaps one of the most difficult throughout this war. Sievierodonetsk remains the epicentre of the encounter in Donbas...Largely, that is where the fate of our Donbas is being decided now." -Zelenskiy

KHERSON COUNTER-OFFENSIVE

In the south, Moscow is trying to impose its rule on a tract of occupied territory spanning Kherson and Zaporizhzhia provinces, where Russian-installed proxy authorities say they are planning referendums to join Russia.

The Ukrainian Defence Ministry said on Thursday its forces had won back some territory in a counter-offensive in Kherson.

It gave no details about the location of the advance, but said the Russian forces had "suffered losses in manpower and equipment", and planted mines and erected barricades as they were pushed back.

Ukraine reported a counter-offensive in Kherson last week, claiming to have seized a bridgehead on the south bank of the Inhulets river forming a boundary of the province, confirmed this week by Britain's ministry of defence. The situation there could not be independently confirmed.

Thousands of people have been killed and millions have fled since Moscow launched its "special military operation" to disarm and "denazify" its neighbour on Feb. 24. Ukraine and its allies call the invasion an unprovoked war of aggression.

Ukraine is one of the world's biggest grain and food oil exporters, and international attention has focused in recent weeks on the threat of international famine seen as caused by Russia's blockade of Ukraine's Black Sea ports.

"Millions of people may starve if the Russian blockade of the Black Sea continues," Zelenskiy said on Thursday in televised remarks.

Moscow blames the food crisis on Western sanctions restricting its own grain exports. It says it is willing to let Ukrainian ports open for exports if Ukraine removes mines and meets other conditions. Kyiv calls such offers empty promises.

Turkey, a NATO power with good relations with both Kyiv and Moscow, has tried to mediate, hosting Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov for talks on Tuesday.

Russia has also been trying to sell grain from areas of Ukraine it seized, activity Kyiv and the West call looting. Asked if any deal had been reached to sell grain from southern Ukraine to Turkey or a Middle Eastern country, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said: "So far no agreements have been reached, work is continuing."

The grain crisis took front stage at a meeting of the OECD group of developed countries in Paris.

"We need to unblock the millions of tonnes of cereals that are stuck there because of the conflict," Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi said in a speech. "We have to offer President Zelenskiy the assurances he needs that the ports will not be attacked."

Climate Update 2022-2026

WMO update: 50:50 chance of global temperature temporarily reaching 1.5°C threshold in next five years

Press Release Number: 
09052022 

Geneva, 9 May 2022 (WMO) - There is a 50:50 chance of the annual average global temperature temporarily reaching 1.5 °C      above the pre-industrial level for at least one of the next five years – and the likelihood is increasing with time, according to a new climate update issued by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).

There is a 93% likelihood of at least one year between 2022-2026 becoming the warmest on record and dislodging 2016 from the top ranking. The chance of the five-year average for 2022-2026 being higher than the last five years (2017-2021) is also 93%, according to the Global Annual to Decadal Climate Update, produced by the United Kingdom’s Met Office, the WMO lead centre for such predictions.

The annual update harnesses the expertise of internationally acclaimed climate scientists and the best prediction systems from leading climate centres around the world to produce actionable information for decision-makers.

The chance of temporarily exceeding 1.5°C has risen steadily since 2015, when it was close to zero.  For the years between 2017 and 2021, there was a 10% chance of exceedance. That probability has increased to nearly 50% for the 2022-2026 period.

“This study shows – with a high level of scientific skill – that we are getting measurably closer to temporarily reaching the lower target of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. The 1.5°C figure is not some random statistic. It is rather an indicator of the point at which climate impacts will become increasingly harmful for people and indeed the entire planet,” said WMO Secretary-General Prof. Petteri Taalas.

“For as long as we continue to emit greenhouse gases, temperatures will continue to rise. And alongside that, our oceans will continue to become warmer and more acidic, sea ice and glaciers will continue to melt, sea level will continue to rise and our weather will become more extreme. Arctic warming is disproportionately high and what happens in the Arctic affects all of us,” said Prof. Taalas.

The Paris Agreement sets long-term goals to guide all nations to substantially reduce global greenhouse gas emissions to limit the global temperature increase in this century to 2 °C while pursuing efforts to limit the increase even further to 1.5 °C.

the Global Annual to Decadal Climate Update - May 22The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says that climate-related risks for natural and human systems are higher for global warming of 1.5 °C than at present, but lower than at 2 °C.

Dr Leon Hermanson, of the Met Office led the report. He said: “Our latest climate predictions show that continued global temperature rise will continue, with an even chance that one of the years between 2022 and 2026 will exceed 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels. A single year of exceedance above 1.5 °C does not mean we have breached the iconic threshold of the Paris Agreement, but it does reveal that we are edging ever closer to a situation where 1.5 °C could be exceeded for an extended period.”

In 2021, the global average temperature was 1.1 °C above the pre-industrial baseline, according to the provisional WMO report on the State of the Global Climate. The final State of the Global Climate report for 2021 will be released on 18 May.

Back-to-back La Niña events at the start and end of 2021 had a cooling effect on global temperatures, but this is only temporary and does not reverse the long-term global warming trend. Any development of an El Niño event would immediately fuel temperatures, as it did in 2016, which is until now the warmest year on record.

The findings of the annual update include:

  • The annual mean global near-surface temperature for each year between 2022 and 2026 is predicted to be between 1.1 °C and 1.7 °C higher than preindustrial levels (the average over the years 1850-1900).
  • The chance of global near-surface temperature exceeding 1.5 °C above preindustrial levels at least one year between 2022 and 2026 is about as likely as not (48%). There is only a small chance (10%) of the five-year mean exceeding this threshold.
  • The chance of at least one year between 2022 and 2026 exceeding the warmest year on record, 2016, is 93%. The chance of the five-year mean for 2022-2026 being higher than the last five years (2017-2021) is also 93%.
  • The Arctic temperature anomaly, compared to the 1991-2020 average, is predicted to be more than three times as large as the global mean anomaly when averaged over the next five northern hemisphere extended winters.
  • There is no signal for the El Niño Southern Oscillation for December-February 2022/23, but the Southern Oscillation index is predicted to be positive in 2022.
  • Predicted precipitation patterns for 2022 compared to the 1991-2020 average suggest an increased chance of drier conditions over southwestern Europe and southwestern North America, and wetter conditions in northern Europe, the Sahel, north-east Brazil, and Australia.
  • Predicted precipitation patterns for the May to September 2022-2026 average, compared to the 1991-2020 average, suggest an increased chance of wetter conditions in the Sahel, northern Europe, Alaska and northern Siberia, and drier conditions over the Amazon.
  • Predicted precipitation patterns for the November to March 2022/23-2026/27 average, compared to the 1991-2020 average, suggest increased precipitation in the tropics and reduced precipitation in the subtropics, consistent with the patterns expected from climate warming.

 

Notes for Editors:

With the UK’s Met Office acting as lead centre, climate prediction groups from Spain, Germany, Canada, China, USA, Japan, Australia, Sweden, Norway and Denmark contributed new predictions this year. Combining forecasts from climate prediction centres worldwide enables a higher quality product than what can be obtained from any single source.

The development of near-term prediction capability was driven by the WMO co-sponsored World Climate Research Programme, which declared one of its overarching Grand Challenges is to support research and development to improve multi-year to decadal climate predictions and their utility to decision makers.

Comprehensive Assessment Reports about the state of scientific, technical and socio-economic knowledge on climate change, its impacts and future risks, and options for reducing the rate at which climate change is taking place are the responsibility of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which also issued a Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C.

Magnificent Ideas Now In Progress!

GLOBAL WARMING IS HAPPENING NOW AND PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD ARE TAKING ACTION. HERE ARE SOME MAGNIFICENT IDEAS IN FULL PROGRESS.



SOME OLD AND NEW IDEAS INCLUDE:

1. Helping those less privileged. The homeless are being provided with both shelters and social help but more is needed!

2. People around the world today are creating a social middle-of-the-road path in life with a gentle caring philosophy. An old but popular political ideal.

3. Studying the science of Physics and the underlying principles that form our Universe is in full bloom. The Covid 19 Pandemic helped create a faster learning curve.

4. Studying Botany, Biology, and Medicine while completely understanding that our Homo Sapient specie is a territorial carnivore willing to slaughter and eat domesticated species such as Cows, Chickens and Pigs, is moving people toward Vegetarianism, the popular ideal today for maintaining good health. 

5. Studying the territorial imperative in order to understand why many animal species, including human, fight and are willing to kill for territory, is vitally important to avoid future wars!

6. Some excellent ideas include politely asking people who enjoy moving quickly from one territory into another, to stop pumping Carbon Monoxide into the air we all need to breath. Why not drive Electric cars or ride Bicycles or utilize (non-polluting) public transportation?

7. Some wonderful ideas include creating or improving water filtration plants, recycling depots and planting a millionTrees and thousands of vegetable and flower gardens every single year, everywhere, especially in drought and famine susceptible countries!

8. Personally, this author suggests planting grass and trees and flower and vegetable gardens in every school yard in Canada and assigning students to learn about and care for the plants.

9. With portable computers liberating office workers. it is now possible to transform business sky scrapers into partial Hydroponic Green Houses. Company employees can now enjoy spending a few hours a day caring for plants. Old office buildings can also be renovated and transformed into shelters for the homeless. Europe is ahead of North America in this regard.

10. Today, May 31, 2022, the Ukraine is a sad example for the world! We must stop the race for money and power and territory and dangerous sociopaths and psychopaths must be screened and prevented from entering world governments. All potential government leaders must pass a universally accepted United Nations sponsored full psychiatric examination. Failure to pass immediately excludes the candidate from working in government.

11. For long distance travel their now exists Pony Express style Electric Busses that can simply be exchanged every five hundred miles. While one bus is being charged passengers can transfer and continue their journey in another fully charged bus. Small Electric busses are now in operation in cities around the world and of course, the Electric Trains continue to be popular. 

12. Electric trains already exist. The Japanese have fantastic high speed Maglev trains which North Americans should have adopted years ago. Electric cars are now on the market and momentum for these vehicles has picked up speed. We need charging stations on every telephone pole across North America to make sure nobody is forced to sit waiting in a dead-battery car. The poles could also be covered with flexible Solar panels wired to charge a large battery sitting under the pole. A CREDIT CARD CAN BE USED TO ACTIVATE A POLE CHARGING STATION IN THE SAME WAY THEY DO IN PARKING GARAGES.

13.  The same people who service and pump gas into our cars today, can continue to service cars as battery exchange specialists. We need cheaper assembly line Electric vehicles with removable battery packs.  Inexpensive cars that have quick slide-in-and out replaceable battery packs exactly like today's wonderful cordless drills.

14.  With human population density becoming a serious problem and global warming presently creating havoc around the world, the need to reduce our world population growth can be addressed with better sex education in the schools. Botany and Biology is best taught in early childhood along with reading and writing. Later, young adults must be reminded how the need for birth control is important. 

15.  We absolutely have to stop building giant condo developments. Without Green spaces and Parks, Condos-for-profit are quickly becoming overcrowded and dangerous slums. To protect us all from global warming and to help slow global warming, it is possible to create round underground villages with apartments and boutiques and grocery stores all lit by fibre optic cables and warmed by the Earth while above ground only Green Houses and Orchards and gardens and Green parks filled with Trees and flowers will be legally permitted.

15. One final thought! Magnificent ideas are happening today! Help them along! 


P.S. It is highly recommended that before global warming creates a mass extinction, you act on one or more of the above ideas!

There is too much hate!!

 Gentle People:

  There is too much hate in the world today! Remaining positive or 'even keeled' as old mariners used to say, is difficult. The boat is being swamped by waves of hate and anger and greed and the race for money and power and territory continues to dominate human thinking.

 The Ukraine today is a sad example of a greed motivated terrifying fight for territory. It could escalate into a Third World War if something is not done quickly to stop the carnage. A solution is needed and one old but tried and true idea is to send in United Nations soldiers. A United Nations Peace Force.

 Two or three battalions of soldiers from every country with every soldier wearing the United Nations Blue Helmet. On each helmet will be the brightly coloured U.N. symbol and it will be unmistakable! If you fight the U.N. you fight the whole world and any opposing army soldier will quickly understand who he is fighting against. Hopefully, Putin will get the message.

 It is time to stamp out the fires of greed and hopefully bring back peace to this Earth.

Thanks for reading.

Dear Nelson, we are passing on this important message from our friend Sleydo’, spokesperson of Gidimt’en Checkpoint and Wet’suwet’en land defender (also known as Molly Wickham). Please read, RSVP, and share widely.

Dear friends, allies and comrades,

 

While we try to live out our daily lives and conduct cultural practices with our elders and children, police barge into our homes without permission — everyday, with at least six officers — intimidating us, surveilling us, illegally arresting, and detaining people on our own lands. 

 

It's a story as old as the colonial violence against Indigenous peoples to steal land, resources, and wealth. The sad truth is, it’s what’s happening right now: They want to intimidate us off our land so Coastal GasLink can start drilling in less than one month under our sacred headwaters, Wedzin Kwa. 

 

In March 2020, thousands of you took to the streets, railways, ports and highways to stand with Wet’suwet’en and demand Coastal GasLink cease construction. We made global headlines — forcing Justin Trudeau and John Horgan to commit to entering into discussions with Wet’suwet’en Hereditary chiefs. [1]

 

But they haven’t made any progress with us on those title discussions, haven’t stopped construction and haven’t pulled RCMP or CIRG off of our territories. In fact, things have gotten worse. The UN has issued yet another letter to the so-called governments of Canada and BC, calling for an end to police violence and to halt construction. [2

 

We need your help to stop the drilling and make them listen, and we want to give you an update with all the information you need to act. Will you join me and Sound the Alarm for Wet’suwet’en on Thursday May 26 at 4 pm on Zoom? In this call, you’ll hear from Chief Woos, Chief Na'Moks, and myself and learn about what you can do to support us in our fight against CGL. 

Here are the details: 

What: Sound The Alarm For Wet’suwet’en 

When: Thursday May 26, 4 pm PT / 7 pm ET 

Where: https://bit.ly/3LnPld7 

 

The Supreme Court of Canada, under the Delgamuukw v. British Columbia legal caserecognized that the Wet’suwet’en people never ceded our title to our land. [3] Yet over and over, both the so-called governments of British Columbia and Canada have paid lip service to reconciliation, claiming they respect Indigenous peoples’ rights. 

 

And now, we face losing our land, our water, our way of life. It’s why I’m reaching out now, because we need to raise the alarm so people everywhere know what is at stake, and rise up in massive opposition to help stop the drilling. 

 

Will you join the call to Sound the Alarm for Wet’suwet’en on Thursday May 26 at 4 pm PT / 7 pm ET to learn how you can help stop the drilling and stand with Wet’suwet’en?

The amount of pressure and stress I feel everyday knowing that my people and our land are under threat is made worse by the constant police presence — showing up at my house unannounced and questioning us for living our lives. My children are 2, 6 and 11 years old. They shouldn’t have to bear this burden — and they’ve done nothing to deserve this treatment. 

 

At the same time, I feel immense hope. I believe in the thousands of people who have shared their outpouring of love and support for Wet’suwet’en. I’m energized by the beauty I see in the Wedzin Kwa river, everyday, and grateful for how the land provides for me, my family, and my community. Will you stand with me and join the call to Sound the Alarm for Wet’suwet’en on Thursday May 26? 

With gratitude, 

 

Sleydo’
