Science Fiction writing, so many great story tellers with great imaginations keeping audiences and reader’s imaginations continually asking the question, is it possible, sometimes creating fear and nightmares or driving people to prepare in case an invasion ever occurs.
October 30, 1938 created panic when Orson Welles recreated a radio broadcast of the classic H.G. Wells 1898 novel “War of the Worlds”. As a Halloween special on CBS radio many listeners believed the events of breaking news of an invasion from Mars was in fact happening resulting in many people fleeing their homes or just exhibiting extreme fear.

Toxic Pollution...Not just for smokers anymore
WE TOOK CARE OF ONE OF OUR TOXIC WASTE ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS,
ONE DAY AT A TIME,
ONE PERSON AT A TIME,
ONE COMMUNITY AT A TIME.
It’s amazing at the look on my children’s face when I explain to them how smoke free establishments was not a phrase you heard when I was growing up. Smoking was allowed everywhere, in the malls, restaurants, grocery stores, movie theatres, in your workplace at your desk, in HOSPITALS right in your room, you name it you could smoke there, except in many retail stores because of potential damage to merchandise, otherwise, smoking was a care free thing to do and it was so much the norm you didn’t see many people who didn’t smoke. Slowly more smoke free establishments started moving forward from theatres, malls, at your desk at work and were pushed into smaller places designated for smokers, but still indoors. READ MORE

Excuse Eh? Can you pass the carbon please?
Stephane Dion wants to introduce a carbon tax into Canada, although in 2006 rejected the idea but was willing to deal with the concept and by the sounds of it he dealt with the concept and now realizes this may be the way Canadians will have to deal with the rising pollution and large contribution and the accleraton to Global Warming we are emitting.
Stephen Harper on the other hand won’t even consider it and just down right opposes it, what does that say about our current Prime Minister of how he feels about cleaning up Canada and making them one of the world leaders in environmental clean up. READ MORE

Can We Rationalize Freedom?
Photo by Ron Gaston...Please Help Keep Canada Alive
A price tag on everything, even how much carbon per person we can burn. A debit card with everything you purchase or use, deducting from your account in which if you go over can buy credits from someone else. Can this be the way of the future to help control climate change? Will you choose to burn your emissions cap on driving your Hummer or heating your home?
Is climate change really a financial burden to governments when only a small percentage they would actually spend. READ MORE

Let's Turn Up The Heat and Help Save The Planet
Ontario Wide Gas Strike...Run on Natural Energy
Monbiot tells all in his book "Heat--How to Stop the Planet from Burning". In Chapter 3 "The Denial Industry" he disproves some experts who have carelessly released reports denying any affects of man made climate change. Those who are coincidently the same people who have been funded by the world's most profitable corporation, with a reporting in autumn 2005 of quarterly earnings exceeding $10 million dollars, the highest corporate earnings on record.
Naming a few , Monbiot exposes the broken link in their claims and their means of continuing the denial that is affecting more people, islands and our precious wildlife most recently the polar bears daily then they want to claim responsibility for and have stated will continue to drill as a threatened species habitat shouldn't be a deterent.
