Why Mars is Not the Answer to Earth's Problems: A Contrarian Take on Elon Musk's Martian Dreams
"The Cost of Martian Colonization" It is widely recognized that colonizing Mars will require immense financial resources. Musk himself has estimated the cost of establishing a self-sustaining city on Mars at tens of billions of dollars. But where will this money come from, and is it worth diverting such massive sums away from pressing problems here on Earth, such as poverty, inequality, and climate change? Instead of investing in a risky and expensive Martian venture, we should be using our resources to tackle these pressing issues at home.

The Earth
Global warming is a critical issue that has been affecting the world for many years. The world has been experiencing a continuous rise in temperature, and scientists believe that this rise is due to the increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases are gases that trap heat in the atmosphere, and their increased concentration is causing the temperature to rise. The main greenhouse gas responsible for global warming is carbon dioxide (CO2). CO2 is produced when we burn fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas. The burning of these fuels releases large amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere, and as a result, the concentration of CO2 has been increasing over the years. The increase in CO2 has caused the average temperature of the planet to rise, and this is what we call global warming.

Canada regains terrain to position the country as a clean tech and hydrogen front runner
The November 2022 COP27 climate summit seems old news as we enter the end of January 2023. This is primarily because this year’s climate summit, which was hosted by Egypt, did not produce any breakthrough. As previously anticipated the Climate Summit was more about procedural agreements than strategic decisions. However, the Climate summit was a success for Canada as the country brought to Egypt numerous members of both the Canadian public and private sectors with more robust decarbonization commitments. Among the private corporate leaders coming to Egypt we count several representatives from the Royal Bank of Canada, pipeline giant Enbridge Inc., oil majors Cenovus Energy Inc. and Imperial Oil Ltd. Other attendees included representatives from Suncor Energy Inc.

The Stagnant Inner Core: What Does It Mean for the Earth?
The Earth's inner core is one of the most mysterious and crucial parts of our planet. It is a solid ball of iron and nickel, surrounded by a liquid outer core, and is responsible for driving the Earth's magnetic field. For years, scientists have believed that the inner core rotates in the opposite direction of the Earth's rotation, but new research has indicated that this may no longer be the case. In fact, it appears that the Earth's inner core may have stopped spinning altogether.
