Dear Editor,
How long is the government of the land going to try and trick us into believing they are doing something about pollution and climate change?
The government’s solution to pollution is the same as it always has been; dilution. Ever notice when that energy efficient, clean air, new truck blows by you on the highway the smell is something awful? The truck is long gone but the odour lingers forever.
The pollutants from that fossil fuel burning monster is no cleaner; it just produces pollutants that are so tiny and mixed up with so much clean air that they can’t be detected by conventional means. Like the old smokestacks that they put so high in the air the surrounding area can’t see the real results of what is coming out of that stack.
Like when you pass some unpleasant smelling gas in your car and you open up the window to share it with all your neighbours. It doesn’t go away. It is just mixed up with enough clean air that you can’t smell it anymore.
Plastics?
Their new solution is to make biodegradable plastics that instead of staying around for 500 years before degrading they degrade right away and put all the toxins into the atmosphere right away. But you can’t see or complain about it. Like that plastic water bottle.
Is the old saying that energy cannot be created or destroyed still hold true? Now that they can change it so it can’t be seen?
Remember the story about Pandora’s Box? Buried deep underground by gods so that mankind won’t find and open it up to reveal it’s treasures and evils. Once opened it can never be shut.
Unfortunately, mankind has opened this box up and revealed all the treasures buried within. Fossil fuel, diamonds, precious metals. Along with the riches, it produces most of the evils in the world today: war, famine, slavery, poverty, crime. That list is endless.
They are even drilling wells deeper and deeper to drain all the world’s aquafers in the name of progress.
I wonder if all the natural disasters we are experiencing today are a warning. Or are they a solution for the world to kill off mankind and right itself again?
Time alone will tell.
