Many pet guardians don't realize the potential for exposing their four-legged family member to environmental toxins like pesticides and herbicides. People also don't realize that after they apply a product to their lawn or garden.

A pesticide known as 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, or "2,4-D", was developed during World War II. It was one of two active ingredients in the notorious defoliant known as Agent Orange, used during the Vietnam War to destroy forest cover for our enemies, as well as their food crops. A tremendous amount of herbicide was sprayed over millions of acres of land in Vietnam from 1961 to 1972.

This generation stands on the precipice of becoming the most failing gatekeepers for following generations, in all of human history ... if we choose not to act, and quickly! ~ Roger Landry (TLB)

Geo-engineering or weather modification is not a myth, a lie or a conspiracy theory. It is in fact a painful and deadly reality. One need only look up on any given day to see large jets crisscrossing the sky from horizon to horizon, leaving chemical or particulate swaths across the brilliant blue heavens, that quickly transform to a putrid gray blanket, as the trails spread out and merge.

Since China's capital city Beijing issued its first ever air pollution red alert last week, sales of bottled Canadian fresh mountain air to Chinese customers have soared.

The red alert over air pollution was issued by Beijing authorities on December 7, lasting three days, amid the second bout of bad air this month. During this time PM2.5 levels - tiny hazardous airborne particles - exceeded 900 micrograms per cubic metre.

"Extreme weather and climate events" are linked to climate change while no mention is made of government programs deliberately aimed at modifying the weather and inducing earthquakes, drought, rain, and tsunamis.

The modern weather modification program, at least in the US, is over 70 years old. Public service announcements printed in newspapers back in the 1960s warned of government intention to modify the weather. Life Magazine, back in the 50s and 60s, continually covered US weather modification programs, including Project Stormfury which redirected and reduced hurricane intensity from 1962 to 1983. The IPCC's continuing and absolute silence on such programs is deafening.

There's no way to work in these waters, where you are literally neck deep in feces in some places, and not be afraid of the health effects.

According to the AP's 2013 report, "In the neon green waters around the site of the future Olympic Park, the average fecal pollution rate is 78 times that of the Brazilian government's 'satisfactory' limit - and 195 times the level considered safe in the U.S."

More than 300 whales are found washed up in one of the largest die-offs on record.

Vreni Haussermann of the Huinay Scientific Centre was one of the scientists who made the discovery. "It was an apocalyptic sight. I'd never seen anything like it," Ms Haussermann said. Scientists launched an expedition to count the animals after 20 sei whales were reported dead in April.

The whales were first discovered in June, and scientists had planned to report their findings in a scientific journal. But the news has just been leaked in Chilean media, according to National Geographic.

Trees fall year-round in the Mother Lode from factors including age, stress, infestation and structural weakness. In recent weeks, several trees have fallen, from Twain Harte to Columbia, and some of the falling trees have coincided with wet weather.

Telltale orange, red and brown patches are visible along the Highway 4, Highway 108 and Highway 120 corridors in and near the Stanislaus National Forest and in Yosemite National Park. But there's more going on with pines and oaks than drought-stress and infestation, said Scott Nye, owner of Twain Harte Tree Service.
