Diesel Campaign Mocking Global Warming?

*Note: This is not of high importance to Canadian politics, but I still found it appropriate for my blog. Also, this may be old news to those who heard this already (considering it came out in Febuary).

Diesel, a fashion brand many of us are familiar with, are making a mockery of Global Warming? While some call this humorous others are taking this situation seriously. I find that this "Global Warming Ready" campaign is totally contradicting and therefore, so is my opinion on the issue.


Diesel's media campaign has become "global warming ready" for their spring/summer collection of clothing. They are taking a serious global issue and pointing out that..."hey, there will be more beaches!"

Yet, there is the commonly used phrase, the only bad advertising is no advertising...
So, could this ad campaign by Diesel, be helping educate more people on global warming issues? Well, my anwser is yes. Even though in bad taste, the ad campaign is showing what natural disasters could arise in the future. Diesel is also encouraging people to buy, Al Gore's movie, An Inconvient Truth on their website.

So all in all, yes Diesel is making a mockery of Global Warming to sell their new line of clothing. Yet, they are helping more and more people become aware of the issue of Global Warming, and that's good enough for me!

Canada To Take On Nuclear Energy

If the word "Global Warming" has become such a popular topic of conversation in politics, then why has Stephan Harper chose nuclear energy for Canada?

Many fellow Canadians(including myself) are against Stephan Harper and this idea of nuclear fisson for energy. But why you ask, when we can have cheaper energy bills...

Well here are a couple of reasons, I chose:

1) Higher risk of Nuclear weapons being produced.
2) High risk of fossil fuels that cause Greenhouse gasses, that ends in global warming.
3) Serious health risks from Uranium mining, it is hazardous to our environment and the health of the miners. But, this problem goes way beyond the uranium mines, as quoted by the green party.

Harper says that one of his main focuses as Prime minister is the environment, yet he wants Canada to invest in nuclear power plants. Nuclear plants that create harmful chemicals that effects global warming and our ozone layer.

Now, I'm not saying Harper with the help of Canada's environment minister, John Baird have done nothing to help with our environment in crisis.... but it's contradicting for Canada to invest billions of dollars into something that will still effect our earth in the future!
