They were horrified to find acid, right up to the shores of BC. The acid is eating the shells off crustaceans. <br /><br />This is a damned good wake up call. The oceans have absorbed all of the poison, the sea waters can stand. However, Harper supports the dirtiest energy in the world, the dirty Alberta tar sands. Harper election win, has swelled his head, three times the size. He now is, Herr Harper, and, dictates accordingly. Harper is absolutely the worst P.M. in Canadian history.<br /><br />We were to reduce fossil fuel emissions by, 80% in 2020. We no longer have that time. We need to start using renewable energy, now!!!<br /><br />The giant gas and oil company's, need to be booted out of every country. It is they who are the worst offenders. There has to be a war going on, at all times. If there isn't a war, then an excuse has to be made to start a new war. Those giant oil and gas company's, thrive on wars. Iraq was a prime example, there were no WMD, and they damned well knew it. Now it seems, WW111 is on the brink of erupting.<br /><br />The huge fuel company's are the enemies, of all decent people. Once greedy politicians allowed corruption in their ranks. Our country's end up being owned by, the very outfits, the corrupt politicians took the money from.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17909993.post-7324237195848306452011-06-30T07:38:34.147-07:002011-06-30T07:38:34.147-07:00Interesting...I've been pondering what militar...Interesting...I've been pondering what militaries might look like by mid-century. If they're talking about an oil and water depleted world, they are may also be talking about much less internationally deployable armed forces. The major task by then might well be domestic aid to the civil the power (disaster emergency) and perhaps even domestic or (North American) counterinsurgency or border operations. Oil and water crisis lead to economic instability, which in turn leads to social and economic crises in government and society, making it very hard to manage all that tech and Zefra crises. Climate change and peak oil may actually level the global playing field as rich countries may well be the most hobbled as they are most dependent on these resources.Borishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00952672409601421466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17909993.post-18502131401794518152011-06-30T06:29:21.986-07:002011-06-30T06:29:21.986-07:00The situation is worse than we think, most models ...The situation is worse than we think, most models of climate change are based upon linear events, what if we start hitting tipping points, then we might wish <a href="http://thinkingaboot.blogspot.com/2011/06/we-coulda-colonized-mars-instead-of.html" rel="nofollow">Bush</a> had invaded Mars instead of Iraq.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14162783936999869984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17909993.post-5318498033297637852011-06-30T06:09:24.215-07:002011-06-30T06:09:24.215-07:00This all suggests that the real motives of governm...This all suggests that the real motives of governments to obtain influence over resource-rich countries is not to benefit their own people, but the enrichment of certain segments of society: those who profit more directly from resource extraction. Or, assuming stupidity instead of conspiracy, it could simply be an irrational need for control.Toehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00469122304179858639noreply@blogger.com
