Are you ready to start paying carbon taxes like California?

Global Warming - Is it Fact or fiction you decide

The environment is a big concern for me - if the earth can't live with us how do we plan on living without it? I know there is a serious environmental problem that needs immediate action. Nature in all its realms should never be ignored and as the care takers of this planet and must actively assume responsibility for it.

Some experts say we may be looking at paying a Global Carbon Tax in the near future but is the Global Warming agenda fraud or fact? My research has led me to the opinion that the real agenda behind Global Warming has nothing to do with saving the environment and everything to do with making money.

This marketing ploy is a means to stimulate an debt-ridden economy, slow crude oil consumption during a peak oil crisis, a diversion tactic to steer people away from other important issues and to hide the truth about what is really causing these earth changes. What the Government is selling about Global Warming I'm not buying!

Global Warming has problem, reaction, solution written all over it and it comes at the expense of the consumer and small business owner. Yes, according to the latest emissions news San Francisco says the big boys will pay a tax too. Whether that happens is another story. What we do know is that the citizens/consumers will be flipping the bill.

Problem, reaction, solution has been used for eons by governments to create, orchestrate and direct mass mindedness as a means to move an agenda forward in order to meet their goal. 9-11 is the perfect example. A problem is created... terrorism. People react demanding that their government protect them. The government offers there ready made solution war and Homeland Security and it's many other branches. Yes 9-11 happened; but the facts and evidence have directly linked this catastrophe with the United States government not the supposed terrorist.

So why would the US government carry out such an evil deed on it's own citizens? Power, money, control and opportunity to manipulate the people. Sway them in the direction that allows this elite structured organization to make the necessary changes to move forth with the globalization agenda.

If the people hadn't responded as they did the plan to invade Iraq and take away your rights would have failed. A new plan would have to be devised to strip your freedom, spy on you and turn you against each other, but the plan went as it should. The people cried out and looked to their government like a God that could save them and handed their rights and freedom over including their God-Given rights as a spiritual being. If only people had questioned authority and demanded proof instead of buying into the lies well over 100,000 lives could have been spared, the liberties and freedom of the citizens worldwide would not have eroded to a point of living in a police state and the tax payers would have been spared by the unprecedented cost of an ongoing war for oil. Our cry for help has made the elite richer, more powerful and moved the Totalitarian plan forth. As for us; we are true slaves to the masters with blood on our hands, without freedom or rights and we are now poorer than we have ever been.

We are living in a sick and twisted society that has been programmed to believe and trust our government without question just as we would a religion! We accept everything they say and believe it to be the true. Our pseudo governments are not acting responsibly or on the behalf of the citizens. They are acting out of greed and for their own reasons. The free-thinking individuals wanting to challenge or question it are suppressed and controlled by fear. Fear to stand for freedom, truth and liberty because those who do go against the grain get penalized. As for the sheep - they fear each other and their government. We have fully bought into the divide and conquer theory. Politics has turned people against one another to a point where an 82 year old Deacon wearing an anti-war t-shirt is seen as the enemy and arrested because he expressed his views on the Iraq war with his clothing. People are being tazered for not paying a $2.50 bus ride or because they look suspicious to brainwashed security and policing agents. The sick thing about it is people think this is okay and that these people had what was coming to them. Wow do we have any common sense left, ethics or morals?

The Global Warming issue as I see it is no different. Present a problem so great that people will react then present the solution. Again, I have to be clear - I do believe that the environment is in danger and we as individuals need to respond. I do not feel that the proposed taxing solutions or handing over our hard-earned money so that the elite forces who run the private corporation such as the Federal Reserve and the top 500 fortune companies can make a profit. Think about it...what is your money being used for - a giant air purifier? No, it is lining people's pockets... oil industry, car & environmental product manufacturers just to name a few. It is also funding a war for oil, making corporations richer, stimulating a bankrupt economy and to keeping you divided because those who don't buy into in become the enemy. It is good that the government has stirred up a buzz making people environmentally aware but they are deceiving you about what is really happening to the earth and who is responsible. They are forcing you to pay their new stimulus act through false information. Just look at Y2K. How much money was generated by worried consumers who bought up everything because we were told a catastrophe could happen?

The solution to global warming doesn't lay in your paycheck and that won't help alleviate any guilt when it comes to what you are leaving behind for your children. As a consumer YOU NEED TO MAKE THE CHANGES to help your environment NOT YOUR GOVERNMENT.

Paying taxes for carbon emissions and buying products to be more environmentally friendly isn't doing the environment any favors. Who do you think owns the big companies who are producing environmental products - you got it they do! They even own the majority of big name health food brands. While some products do make sense others you can do without.

Here is something else to consider. On the eve of Earth hour we all turned our lights out and we all felt that we had done something positive for the world but did we really. The vast majority of people packed up and headed out in their cars - so what did we achieve and why didn't the government report that in the news? Who benefited from it. Probably them. There is an peak oil crisis and they do need you to cut back on energy consumption because the longer they can keep the oil circulating the more money they are earning as stock prices skyrocket. But there is a more important issue at hand. The exercise you participated in was just that an exercise to see how conditioned you are. Again we all dove in head first obeying without questioning. Haven't you noticed since that day there has been mass marketing on green products, news stories about carbon emissions, plans and taxes. We responded to their test marketing and now they are selling the hope of a green future at your expense.


I don't claim to know it all about Global Warming or have the answer to the environmental problems but I do have common sense which tells me to be responsible through actions. To participate and do our part to protect the environment by means of: reducing, reusing, recycling, researching, reclaiming and rejuvenating.

RESEARCH

Decide to make an impact and act on it. Start by researching what products are harmful and how certain technologies are harming you and your environment. You can start by looking into the following:

Plastic - Another lie we bought into. It is not our salvation in fact it has become our demise. Only a small portion is recycled because it costs more to recycle than to produce new. Carbon emissions from recycling it are greater than producing new plastic and the landfills are piling up with it. On a health issue plastic is toxic and has being directly linked to numerous health problems.

Nanotechnology - A health risk and environmental danger to humans and nature. Despite known risks Government officials have declined to ban it because it is the answer to cheaper manufacturing costs and bigger profit.

Research gives you power and a better understanding of how these products impact your health and the health of the environment. Genetically engineered or modified food, chem trails, pesticides, fertilizers, prescription drugs ending up in your drinking water and fluoride in water are just a few...

Once you have gained knowledge about the hazards put public pressure on government and manufacturers to stop manufacturing them, have them labelled
appropriately, to spend tax payers money creating awareness of the potential hazards and proper disposal. Boycott products or manufacturers who produce hazardous products.


REDUCE

- Vehicle emissions , maintain your vehicle, use it less often, walk to the store if you can, carpool and reduce the number of vehicles in your home if it is feasible to do so.

- Use less energy and water at your home and business. Research products you buy and limit your use. Buy energy efficient products, turn lights off, don't let tap water / toilets run, wash full loads in cold water, repair dripping taps, reduce use of air conditioning/heat and unplug appliances when not in use.

- Limit consumption of new products. We are a materialistic society that wants everything. If we could go back to the days where want and need were two different things we would be better off. If we stop buying stuff we could actually help the environment. Reduced spending = reduced production of manufactured goods = reduced pollution and waste. Do we really need 20 different brands of each product from the same manufacturer? No, we did quite well when we only had 3 toothpastes and a handful of shampoo to choose from. Look on the shelves and ask yourself how many of these products end up going to waste because they weren't sold and how much energy was used to produce them. The numbers would be astounding.

- Buy products made in your own country. This will help offset the reduced consumption and help to create more jobs at home.

- Buy bulk foods whenever possible and bring your own reusable bag to place the items in, along with some ecobags for your groceries.

- Call local flier delivery services and tell them you do not want free newspapers, fliers or advertisements. Leave a note on the mailbox to the postman directing them to not leave junk mail. Stop buying the newspaper if you aren't reading it and try to cut down on magazine consumption. Instead of using paper towels buy clothes that are reusable after washing.

- Reduce the consumption of wood products buy used if you can and save a tree. Buy bamboo instead of wood.

- Eliminate plastic! Don't buy products in fancy plastic packages, use glass bowls for food storage, fill water bottles at the store instead of buying pre-bottled


REUSE
Buy used or keeping what you have and use it for another purpose. There are too many things around the house that can be reused so I am not going to list them all. Be creative - just because the product does not meet the needs now doesn't mean it won't work for something else.


RECYCLE

Many of us already recycle as part of our programming but recycling forced by government has not been the answer we thought it would be. There is big profit to be made from your garbage and when you wash it, sort it and bag it you are doing someones job. That means the big boys make more profit because they didn't have to pay anyone to do it and your taxes are paying the garbage man to deliver it to them. I'm not saying don't recycle because that would be insane. What I am saying is recycle but profit from it yourself or give it to someone who needs it.

- Recycle old clothes by taking it to a used clothing store and put it on consignment, put it in a drop box, take it to a homeless shelter or a
women's shelter - the choices are endless. When buying new clothes consider buying bamboo or hemp clothing.

- Recycle old furniture in the same way as clothes - you could even place an ad in the paper to sell it, give it away or have a garage sale.

- In Provinces or States that have aluminum can, glass, cardboard, paper, wood, and metal recycling depots take it in yourself and get paid for it. If you don't want to do it yourself and don't care about the money find someone that does. Many homeless people will jump at the opportunity as will independent trash haulers.


RECLAIM the earth!

Demand that deforestation stop, that the continuation of our concrete jungle come to a halt, that land and animals are protected. Demand that the use of plastic be limited for packaging and banned for food use. Refuse to buy soda, water, milk and other liquids for consumption that are in plastic - demand glass! Boycott companies who use unnecessary packaging.

Insist that consumers be given the option of new technology instead of being forced to use products that are hurting your planet, health and putting a financial strain by way of taxes on you as the end user. Free energy exists - it's real and it is less harmless to the environment but the organized structure doesn't want you to know about it or use it because there is no profit to be made in things like water fueled cars.

REJUVENATE the earth.

Stand up to the government and tell them you refuse to pay taxes for things that aren't being fixed. Now go out yourself and plant some trees because this is a vital key to the solution. We need to replace our forests - they are the giant air purifier we are longing for. Our problems really started to get out of control when populations increased and manufacturing, logging and plastic became big biz. So plant away using old world heritage seeds and help make this world beautiful again.

Is the Canadian Government bribing you with your own money to stimulate weakened new car sales?

Is the Canadian Government trying to bride citizens with their own money to stimulate a weakening economy? In reading the article below titled : Feds to spend $90M on scrapping clunker cars posted Tue. Apr. 1 2008 5:23 PM ET by The Canadian Press it seems to me that this has nothing to do with emissions and everything to do with increasing new car sales.

OTTAWA -- The federal government has quietly given the green light to a national program offering drivers incentives get older, polluting vehicles off the roads. Environment Canada's annual planning report, released this week, earmarks $90 million over the next three years for a so-called vehicle "scrappage'' program.

The department has mulled the prospect of starting a national program since last year's budget set aside federal money for two years' worth of scrapping initiatives. But aside from yearly spending estimates, the planning report yields few details about the new program. It's not known, for instance, how the national program will work with the patchwork of regional scrapping groups that now receive federal funding.

Seven groups across the country get money from Ottawa to offer incentives -- ranging from rebates on new vehicles to free transit passes and charitable receipts -- in exchange for older vehicles. The groups then turn the rusty clunkers over to scrap yards, which crush and recycle them according to provincial guidelines. At least three of these groups say Environment Canada hasn't told them how -- or if -- they figure into the government's plans. "We're just waiting for the announcement,'' said Margaret Bernhardt-Lowdon, director of health initiatives for the Manitoba Lung Association, which runs a Winnipeg-based scrapping program called Bye Bye Beaters. "I'm kind of in the dark ... I'm certainly looking forward to hearing what they have to say, though.''Bye Bye Beaters, Halifax-based Steer Clean and the national Car Heaven program say they were unaware the department had set aside money for the federal scrapping program. "That sounds great, but to whom, and where, and why, and what?'' said Car Heaven's program manager, Fatima Dharsee, referring to the new program.

The department passed queries to Environment Minister John Baird's office, which offered no details about the national program. "We remain committed to implementing an effective vehicle scrappage program. When we have something to announce, we will announce it,'' Baird spokesman Eric Richer wrote in an e-mail. Environment Canada consulted with environmental groups, regional scrapping organizations and other stakeholders last year to explore the possibility of starting a national program. "All I know is they want to have one program available to all Canadians. Something very big and accessible,'' Dharsee said. The department e-mailed the regional outfits in January letting them know Baird was poised to announce the program. "We anticipate that minister Baird will make an announcement about the new program within the next few weeks,'' said the Jan. 21, 2008 e-mail, obtained by The Canadian Press. But more than two months later the department has yet to make that announcement.

The government estimates five million vehicles from 1995 or earlier -- predating today's tougher emissions standards -- were on the roads last year.These older vehicles make up just a fraction of the estimated 18 million vehicles in Canada, but they account for up to two-thirds of the pollution that causes smog.

Yes I agree; emissions should be reduced regardless of whether the global warming issue is valid or not. But why does it always come at a cost to the citizens not the industrial business sector and why does it always fall in the laps of the consumers? If the Canadian government was a responsible governing body then they should have developed a plan for this when air quality started to fall. Would it have been too much to ask that the entire country implemented carbon emissions for all vehicles at that point? Perhaps then, we would not be facing this issue now. Instead of bribing Canadians to junk their cars wouldn't it have been a good idea to have used the money earned from emission testing as grants to car manufacturers for the advancement of technology to develop affordable parts and methods to keep older cars running clean. People could then update older vehicles and keep them running in an environmentally friendly way.

The plan devised by the Canadian Government may sound wonderful but once it is implemented they'll change the rules just as they do with everything else and before you know it they will make it MANDATORY to scrap all older vehicles. This is what most people do not realize - so for those that think it is a great plan and want to help the environment here are some things to think about before you support this plan.

People who can afford a new car sometimes forget about how decisions like this impact those that can't. As stated in the article 5 million cars are older vehicles - that means 5 million families may be without a vehicle because you did nothing to stop it. I am sure you know someone who drives an older car and is not able to afford new car payments - are you willing to drive them to work, their kids to school, to soccer, church and to the grocery store? If not, seriously consider not supporting this plan because it will become mandatory shortly after. Why - because the Canadian economy much like the US economy is in financial trouble.

Take the bus you say? Why should they have to take public transit when they worked hard to make their car payments and high interest rates to pay off their vehicle. Isn't that the idea to own a car outright? If not, maybe everyone should just rent cars! A car is suppose to be an asset but how can it be an asset if you keep flipping it every few years only to enter into a never ending payment? You don't own it then, the banks do and you never will . The continuous process of trading in to buy new only enslaves you to the masters who are getting rich. So while pseudo governments and capitalists profit from your decisions you struggle to get ahead.

The mainstream media is busy keeping everyone in a state of confusion about a recession. One day it states that we are facing a recession and the next it spells a tale that everything will be okay as long as you keep spending. Fact of the matter is... Canada is far from being safe. We are already starting to feel the impact of a recession that will most likely end in a depression. What many Canadian fail to notice or understand is how the NAFTA deal is affecting Canadians. Bottom line is we are the USA now - Canada as you know is no longer. Whatever economic difficulties the United States has - we have. I won't get into that too much - if you would like to research it for yourselves please visit Global Research who is dedicated to exposing the truth: http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=region&regionId=2

Bribing you with your own money to get into something more expensive and beyond your means is a dirty tactic. By dumping your car that is already paid for and hopping into a new car you will most likely need to buy on credit. Hmmm... so by helping the so called emissions you are adding to the credit bubble and aiding in the downfall of the economy. But doesn't spending stimulate the economy? No, not if it is on credit. By purchasing on credit you are stimulating the pockets of capitalists who prey on you. It does nothing for the economy but bring it further down. They get rich while driving you and your country into the poorhouse. The more you spend on credit; the more money the Federal Reserve has to issue which weakens the dollar and just keeps adding to the credit bubble. If people keep buying on credit the problem can and never will be corrected. It is time to start living within our means and start owning our assets. Don't work your butt off for someone else because if we do hit hard economic times assets that have been financed are not yours to keep if you can no longer make the payments.

Failure to implement a Canada wide emissions program instead of junking good cars is cause for concern. My cars are all older and they all pass emissions with flying colors as do many of our clients. So what is the Government of Canada really saying with a plan like this - emissions testing is a fraud - it doesn't cut down emissions? If that is the case; what have Ontario citizens been paying for? It makes me wonder because it was only a year ago that the Ontario government was talking about cancelling emissions testing all together. If the Ontario Government believes global warming is valid why would they even consider stopping a program like emission's testing. Where has the profits earned by the government from emissions testing ? Certainly it didn't go to cleaning the air! This is a real concern as some provinces are considering charging all drivers a carbon tax - what is your money being used for? Is it really correcting the so called global warming problem if so how? Or is this another Y2K money making scheme conjured up by the elite. Yes there is an environmental issue just look around but is it caused by the things they would have you believe? Maybe they should stop spraying toxic chemicals of unknown origins in the air otherwise known as chem trails. Perhaps they industrial revolution needs to slow down and maybe we as citizens need to stop aiding it.

Stereotyping older cars as rust buckets or cars that are in poor mechanical condition is crap. Again all my cars are in supreme mechanical condition and the bodies are mint as are my clients with older cars. In fact as a automobile detailing centre we see the condition of cars both on the interior and exterior and have noticed that the majority of people with older cars maintain their cars better than those with new vehicles. We have seen more rust, broken parts and, mechanical problems on new cars than we have old. Go figure... older cars are made better, are easier to fix and cheaper to fix than new cars. Yes there are some cars like this on the road but in provinces that have vehicle safety laws you should see this problem. So again, why not implement a vehicle safety law across Canada. In my opinion stereotyping vehicles in this manner is just another way to make people feel they are not maintaining an image or status. By making a person feel as though they are being irresponsible for driving an older vehicle and have others look at them in this way it forces them to upgrade. This status thing is so out of whack and that is why we are in such an economic trouble today.

So if you are still thinking about buying a new car; here is one final point to consider - nanotechnology! New car parts are being made with nanotechnology, complete interiors, exteriors, glass and engine parts. Diamond Detailing Guelph's Finest Automotive Detailing Technician does not use any chemical or product that contains nanotechnology for the safety of our customers and our own protection. We feel the dangers associated with nanotechnology are so great that we now protect ourselves with the appropriate gear when working on any new car made with this technology. If you are unaware of the health dangers of nanotechnology please read my other posts: http://guelphautodetailing.blogspot.com/2007/05/nanotechnology-dangers-in-automobile.html
and if your really curious as to what other daily household, cosmetic, stationary products and cars you may be using that have nanotechnology visit: http://www.nanotechproject.org/inventories/consumer/browse/products/

I'm fully in favor of stimulating new car sales as the car industry does represent a major portion of the economy but perhaps the Canadian Car manufacturers need to tend to their pricing problem rather than the Government bribing and enslaving citizens to buy new and put themselves into further debt . Cars manufactured here and shipped to the United States are sold to the dealers at a remarkably lower price than the same vehicle being sold here. Today we are seeing rebates and so called Canadian pricing incentives but they still do not match prices of the cars being sent to the USA. Why is that? Perhaps if car dealers and consumers stop buying cars across the border we could stimulate our own economy but instead Canadian tax payers keep paying to bail corporations out of trouble? As we bail out one to stimulate the economy we end up picking up the tab in another area like the Ontario Health Care tax. When does it end? It doesn't - at least until you stop allowing your government to take away your hard earned money, your rights and your freedom ? It is time to start researching issues before you support them. Find out the real agenda's behind them, question authority, demand answers and see to it that you order the change. Don't take the word of your government because they haven't done a very good job up till now of telling you the truth. Instead they change laws under your nose and don't tell you till it's too late. Give the dog an inch he'll take a mile. What's next - maybe you should scrap your old house too so you can buy new? Just some food for thought.
