The Disastrous Environmental Consequences of Canada's Insane and Corrupt Policy of Near Universal Public Land Ownership
The other day we argued that Canada's carbon tax should be applied to the capture and sequestration of atmospheric carbon dioxide. For example, we suggested that a tax of 22 cents (US) should be applied to the price of a litre of gas to cover the cost of capturing and sequestering the carbon dioxide emitted on combustion of the gas. Instead, however, the Government of Canada imposes a carbon tax on major Canadian industries, thereby diminishing their international competitiveness, while using the revenue to send cheques to low-income persons on the assumption, no doubt, that the cheques will provide an incentive to vote Liberal at the next Federal Parliamentary election.
Thus, while encouraging certain industries to limit their carbon emissions, the carbon tax does nothing to discourage carbon emissions at the consumer level, for example, by those who use a two-plus ton pickup truck for their solitary and load-free commute to the office. Moreover, none of the tax collected in the name of limiting atmospheric carbon dioxide emissions is used to capture emitted carbon.
But what reveals most clearly the absolute contempt with which governments in Canada, both Federal and Provincial, regard the public's concern about carbon emissions and climate warming is that as near monopoly owners (89%) of the nation's land base, they exercise control of the forest with near total incompetence and irresponsibility. The consequence is not only massive forest fires year after year resulting not only in per capita carbon emissions that can exceed the global average ten times, as they have done already this year, but a massive loss in the value that could be derived from Canadian forest lands that extend to almost one tenth of the World's total.
Bur rather than repeat here what has been well said elsewhere, I refer the reader to an excellent article in in Policy Magazine which lays bare the evidence of the incompentence and irresponsibility in the management of Canada's publicly owned forest lands:

The Price of Humor in Germany: 3600 Euros
Germany's health minister Karl Lauterbach was reported by the newspaper, Die Welt, to have stated:
“The masks always send out a signal”
American playwright and German resident C.J. Hopkins responded with a tweet including this image from the cover of his book showing a scarcely visible swastica:

The German state, justifying in full measure the stereotype of the humorless German, charged and convicted Hopkins of :“disseminating propaganda, the contents of which are intended to further the aims of a former National Socialist organization.”
The punishment?
60 days in jail or 3,600 euros.
At least one can take comfort from the fact that today, as in the days of Hitler, the German bad guys are dumb as Hell.

But for Dumb Arse Politicians, Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Emissions Could Be Falling Now
Is the human-caused rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration changing the climate? Yes. But how much, that is another question to which no one can give an answer that is both honest and precise.
But what is for sure is that the human-caused rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration is having a massive impact on the world's vegetation, stimulating forest growth and raising crop yields.
Are rising crop yields a good thing? That depends on whether you think that accelerating the ongoing unprecedentedly rapid growth in human population is a good thing.
My own view is that it is crazy to ignore the many impacts that human activity is having on climate, including not only the rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration due to the combustion of fossil fuels but also:
Additions of black carbon (soot) to the atmosphere due to the combustion of both fossil fuels and fuel wood, and gigantic forest fires, which warm the atmosphere to an extent comparable to that of carbon dioxide;
Additions of sulfate particles to the atmosphere (due to the combustion of sulphur containing coal and oil), which give rise to white sulfate particles that reflect solar radiation and thus have a cooling effect;
Deforestation from the boreal region of Russia and Canada to the tropics of South America and Africa, which radically alters the global water cycle, while altering the balance of absorbed to reflected solar radiation of a large portion of the earth's surface.
But one thing almost every country could do now is to cease being a major net emitter of carbon dioxide.
How?
Easy: tax carbon dioxide emissions and apply the revenue generated to direct air carbon dioxide capture and sequestration.
Current estimates put the cost of large scale direct air carbon dioxide capture at about US$100 per ton.
That means a tax of US$22 cents a litre on gasoline and other hydrocarbons would match the cost of recovering the carbon dioxide emitted on combustion of those fuels.
Let's do it.

Trouble With Mesons
But quite frankly, I don't understand the business with particles. The other day some authority on the matter said that a particle is an avatar for a force. But what does that mean?
Not that I disbelieve in particles. I once made my own tiny cloud chamber out of a clear plastic beaker, some rubbing alcohol and a bit of dry ice (details here). In the cloud of vapor thus created within the beaker, there were things clearly to be seen, slowly milling around. These things, mesons apparently, were created, so the official explanation goes, by cosmic rays striking the upper atmosphere. Although it was not actually the particles I could see but their evolving tracks, wiggling slowly through the mist like ghostly caterpillars.

Robert Kennedy Lays Out the History of American Perfidy Since the Reagan-Gorbachev Deal
No wonder Kennedy is at risk of assassination. Highly articulate, enormously well informed and relentless in exposing the perfidy of the United States under Biden.

TRUMP INSULTS FIRST GRADERS
“OUR COUNTRY IS BEING DESTROYED BY A MAN WITH THE MIND, IDEAS, AND I.Q. OF A FIRST GRADER,” President Donald Trump posted Thursday morning, blasting Joe Biden’s ‘Open Borders CATASTROPHE.’
“I think that Crooked Joe Biden is not only dumb and incompetent, I believe he has gone MAD, a stark raving Lunatic, with his HORRIBLE AND COUNTRY THREATENING ENVIRONMENTAL, OPEN BORDERS, & DOJ/FBI WEAPONIZATION POLICIES,” Trump said.
“HE IS A MENTAL CATASTROPHE THAT IS LEADING OUR COUNTRY TO HELL!” the President observed.

Justin Trudeau: Canadian Fascist
Yahoo Finance, July 27, 2023: Kennedy, who provided financial support to the protesting Canadian truckers in early 2022, said his bitcoin moment came during the final days of the protests when the Emergencies Act was invoked for the first time in Canada’s history. The Act gave Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government additional powers to help quash the demonstrations – including the authority to freeze the bank accounts of protest leaders and supporters.
“They did something that was, to me, unimaginable,” Kennedy explained. “They used facial recognition, license plate identification and a number of other technologies to determine the identities of the truckers, and then they froze their bank accounts and their credit cards.”
It was during that period that the soon-to-be presidential candidate experienced what he referred to as his “Damascus moment.”
“This government of Canada, which I think most people like me had considered a role model for Western liberal democracy,” Kennedy said, “suddenly morphed into this monster.”
“It occurred to me at that point that freedom of transaction was at least as important as freedom of expression,” Kennedy said in response to a question from the event’s organizer Scott Melker, a bitcoin investor and podcaster. ...
