Summer is over. Overcast and moist. Cool. Summer has ended.
The carbon dioxide continues to rise. We, the too many, produce more carbon dioxide than the planet can fix the carbon back to free carbon or into one of the other carbon storage forms. We, as a species are doomed. We cannot evolve fast enough to evolve the ability to live in high carbon dioxide atmosphere. Technology can help the rich, in the short term. But not the masses, unless you can afford the oxygen enrichment technology. Faster breathing rates, CPAP machines help, but the problem is carbon dioxide levels.
The governments are so tied up in their own bureaucracy that they are unable to do anything, and get elected. Game theory shows that so called free markets cannot work without rules; yet politicians are so invested in their ideology, that they cannot accept what science tells us. Scientism is the only hope, but it is unpopular, as it exposes the brutal reality of life on an overpopulated planet. It is good at exposing the weakness in a system, but not so good at developing alternatives; supply management works well. Rule of the popular majority without the correct problem/solution does not. Oh well, in the end we all just die anyway. We can still have the satisfaction and related joy of knowing.
I can understand the draw of living in a delusion of hope, love, peace, souls and everlasting life. But that is not real. It is a delusion. One that offers compassion, consolation, comfort, but it is still a delusion, until we die off. But we can also have compassion, consolation, comfort, and understand the reality science offers. I do not understand why more do not accept reality.
Immigration has become too fast in Canada, for many of us. It is a problem, people of other cultures not mixing in as they did, but clustering into ghettos and trying to maintain their cultures. Brexit was driven by immigration resistance, but instead of just addressing the discontent of too much immigration, the people vote to leave the EU because that was the choice given, not just rejecting the immigration part or EU. Sovereignty comes with a price in an overpopulated world. Canada is about to face the same problem of ghetto-ed citizens with the natives; not part of the main stream culture, and a economic drag on the nation. They need to understand that they are the decedents of a concurred race; get with the nation or be lost. Sir John A was right in his actions, but our North American natives did not make good slaves. They were too independent minded to form a civilization on their own. We whites make better slaves, we are more willing to cooperate with others.
