The Sun Sinks in the West

Meet the new boss, not like the old boss...

The Vancouver Sun is handing over the helm to David Suzuki on May 5th.

"What I would love to do is put a green slant in every area," he added, explaining he thinks the mainstream media do not do enough to highlight how the environment is connected to all areas of the news.

Obviously Suzuki does not pay much attention to the news these days. According to the MSM around the world, everything that happens in this day and age is a result of climate change. I am sure if I look hard enough, I could find a report to link the rain that fell on the evening of Princess Diana's death was in fact due to climate change and as a result was the cause of her death.

"You may get [stories] about floods in Bangladesh, drought in Ethiopia and forest fires in northern Alberta, and they are all reported as if they've got nothing to do with each other," he said, adding he would like to start making those connections.

Yo David, there is a reason they are reported this way. THEY ARE NOT CONNECTED in any way!

"One of the challenges we face is we are not seeing the world as a single entity and seeing how interconnected things are."

The planet is indeed a "single entity" and many thing are indeed "interconnected". However our "world" is far from a "single entity" although I am sure Suzuki and his fellow preachers like Maurice Strong and others would love to see that change. The term "One World Government" comes to mind.

Suzuki also said he wants to get green stories into the sports and arts and life sections.

I am not sure how BC Lions fans will react to more stories about the "Green and Gold" of Edmonton or that of the Green Bay Packers but hey if thats what Suzuki wants thats cool with me. I'm not sure how much GREEN art there is out there, but seeing my favorite color is green, I look forward to seeing more of it. I am not one to follow the fashion trends but is green still in vogue?

"What I would love to do is take something like a pizza and deconstruct the whole thing and trace it right back from the peppers to the onions to the trees that gave the paper for the box," he said.

I would like to see Suzuki take this even further. Follow that pizza completely through its cycle. Right through the digestive track, to its final destination in the waste treatment facility.

My final thought on this is... How can Mr Environment, David Suzuki, support this en devour for even one day, knowing how many trees will be wasted for the news print not to mention the energy it takes to publish his crap? Suzuki talks the talk but fails to walk the walk yet again.
