BorealFAREWELL POSTINGSAvoiding Hell on EarthMarch 10, 2025 If we are witnessing the beginning of a runaway greenhouse effect as rising temperatures worldwide suggest, then dying sooner rather than later may be a good thing. What is a runaway greenhouse effect? Think of a baking oven with a door (greenhouse gases) that can’t be opened and a heating element that cannot be turned off (the sun). The oven will eventually melt and whatever was baking inside will have been burnt to a crisp. This is what will happen to the earth if the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere reaches a tipping point. If we are lucky, the average world-wide temperature will stop rising after reaching a new equilibrium—that does not seem to be happening—and save billions from being toasted or baked, depending on where they live. Many will simply starve to death from the collapse of the oceans’ food chain and a climate that is no longer conducive to large scale farming or any farming at all in many areas of the world. In my discontinued book, Canada – The Fractured Nation Interviews, I predicted that the world would ban the mining and processing of tar to extract the world’s dirtiest crude because of the inordinate amount of greenhouse gases it generates. That has not happened, and Canada’s extensive and growing tar mining operations may prove to be the straw that tips the world’s temperature into doomsday territory My book also did not anticipate English-Canada, in particular, to embrace the mining of tar the way it did. This embrace reflected in the lack of objections to the English media going along with the oil and gas industry rebranding the Tar Sands as Oil Sands (The French-Canadian media continued calling it was it was: “Les sables bitumineux.” It worked! More Canadians than ever are now under the impression that digging up tar-coated sand, then washing the tar from the sand with hot water and steam, then processing the resulting mess to extract the dirtiest of crude while channelling the now toxic fresh water and its contaminants into tailing ponds that have grown into killer lakes for migratory birds and threaten to poison the Athabasca watershed (167,000-square-kilometer) and beyond does not create anymore greenhouse gases, and is no more environmentally damaging than the straightforward process of refining what gushes from a typical oil well. Canada is well on its way, if it is not already, to becoming the world's largest per capita producer of greenhouse gases. The greenhouses gases generated from the mining and processing of Canadian tar-coated sands to make the dirtiest crude on the planet will nullify many global efforts to reduce the doomsday gas and avoid a planet-wide catastrophe. Islam, of all the religions who thrive on human misery and seek to bring about the end-times on a promise of a better life in the sky, is in the best position to exploit the ramping chaos that globing warming is causing with legions of fanatics conditioned to relish killing those who cherish life in the here-and-now.
