"This area has to do with logic, abstractions, inductive and deductive reasoning, and numbers. While it is often assumed that those with this intelligence naturally excel in mathematics, chess, computer programming, and other logical or numerical activities, a more accurate definition places emphasis less on traditional mathematical ability and more reasoning capabilities, abstract pattern recognition, scientific thinking and investigation, and the ability to perform complex calculations.
Careers which suit those with this intelligence include scientists, mathematicians, engineers, doctors and economists." (Wikipedia)

Insys Therapeutics weakness a buying opportunity, says JMP Securities
JMP Securities said Insys Therapeutics (INSY) is weak on concerns that Subsys may be added to Express Scripts' (ESRX) exclusion list in 2015. The analyst does not know if it will or not be added but said the potential impact would not be material to sales or growth because the product is not included in any PBM preferred formula positions and has prior authorization requirements. The analyst would use weakness as a buying opportunity and reiterates its Outperform rating and $65 price target.

There will be no guest appearances
on "American Idol" for Britney Spears any time soon.
Executive Producer Nigel Lythgoe told reporters on Thursday, he doesn't
believe the "…Baby One More Time" star is in the right shape to serve as a
celebrity mentor for the singing hopefuls.
"Britney at this moment, I don't think is well enough to do anything and I
think she needs looking after rather than being pushed in front of the cameras
or pushing herself in front of cameras," Lythgoe said. "I thinks she needs to
get herself together, bless her."
Lythgoe noted that Spears would have been welcome last time around.
"I would have had Britney Spears last year for sure, when I thought she was
trying to get it all back together again," he said.

Video of the Day: "Peyton's Coming Home"
The hype surrounding Peyton Manning's first game in Indianapolis since leaving the Colts for the Denver Broncos seems to be irritating PM to no end. But others seem to be enjoying the attention, including several students from Indy's Decatur Central High School, who put together "Peyton's Coming Home," a parody of the DirecTV "rap" commercial co-starring Peyton and little bro Eli Manning, and their efforts have gone viral-ish, with more than 54,000 views at this writing. What would Peyton think? The clip's below, followed by the DirecTV video that inspired it.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Investigators have been poring over surveillance video, interviewing witnesses and analyzing items seized from Jared Loughner's home as they build a case in the assassination attempt against Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.
It's a case that likely will take years to play out as it goes through phases of the criminal justice system: prosecutions by both federal and state authorities, proceedings over whether to move the case to a different venue, a possible insanity defense by Loughner and prosecutors' likely push for the death penalty.
The next step is an arraignment scheduled Monday afternoon in Phoenix for Loughner, who is accused of opening fire on a Giffords political event in a rampage that wounded 13 people and killed six others.

Five Favorite Films with Emily Blunt
Plus, the star of this week's Salmon Fishing in the Yemen on working with Ewan McGregor, her forthcoming comedy with Jason Segel, and reprising that Devil Wears Prada role.
Well, speaking of fish -- you just chose Jaws to promote Salmon Fishing, right?
Emily Blunt: [Laughs] Exactly. Anything to do with sea life.
So did you find yourself at that point in your career where you're thinking, "I really want to do a fishing movie"?
[Laughs] No. I don't really like eating fish, apart from sushi, and I wouldn't count myself a very good fisherwoman, but I loved how unique the story was, and how it just seemed to step out from the crowd of generic scripts that you read. It was just so hopeful and lovely and I loved the characters -- I thought they were all kind of flawed and they were all going through something, these and life transitions. So I thought it would be fun to play.
Your character's name -- Harriet Chetwode-Talbot -- is somehow very amusing; especially every time Ewan says it in his accent.
[Laughs] Yeah. I like the way he says it in his accent as well. I really loved her name and I thought it said a lot about her as well. I knew where she came from and what she was about. It's a very revealing name in a way.
You said you felt like you and Ewan were "separated at birth." What was it that clicked so well between you?
I don't know, I mean we just seemed to have this very accelerated friendship and we got along like a house on fire. We laughed -- we laughed so much together, and so it did sort of feel like I'd known him forever. I have found that whenever I have had a chemistry with someone on screen it's usually benefited from having a really warm rapport with them off screen. I think I was really lucky with Ewan. I mean everyone has chemistry with Ewan -- it's impossible not to have chemistry with him. He's one of the most well-loved people in this industry. Everyone loves Ewan.
Part of the chemistry must come from having a good director, and Lasse Hallstr�m seems to do this kind of movie so effortlessly. What's he like?
He's incredible. He's so wonderfully odd as a person. He's quirky in the most lovely way. He has really wacky ideas for stuff, but mainly he just creates a really lovely environment on set -- it's very atmospheric set, so you can establish chemistry, you can just work without stress and find new bits of sparkle, new bits of nuance. He creates that, so it's very much all about the actors. He's heaven to work with, really.
Were you bringing moments to the film that weren't on the page?
Yeah, and he was very encouraging of it. He was very encouraging to keep making the moments more and more alive. It wasn't that we needed to change the script that much, it's just that when you get there on set, sometimes -- if the scene doesn't read as you'd imagined it -- you have to find a different route to make it work. Lasse's all about adapting and making it work; and adding. He's a very layered director.
You shot in London and the Scottish Highlands and Morocco -- it wasn't just a holiday, I hope.
[Laughs] No. We were doing six day weeks in Morocco, which is quite tiring; but the environment was so fabulous. We were sitting in Bedouin tents in between takes drinking coffee, and I was like, "Oh my god, I'm in heaven." I've never shot in Morocco before. The people were lovely. We shot in this city called Ouzarzate, where I think every desert scene in every movie you're ever seen has been shot. It's a city that has been cultivated around a movie industry. I think you recognize sets from other movies, and there are camels drifting around that have probably been in Lawrence of Arabia, you know. [Laughs]

"It's A Girl!"

It doesn't say potential. It says "IS."

Check these out, too...
#1: Nix the heavy perfume
A faboo fragrance makes any girl feel totally flirty, but
spray on a little too much of the scented stuff and you're basically turning
yourself into a walking stink bomb (eek!). To avoid perfume overdose, spritz a tiny bit of your signature scent
onto your wrists and leave it at that. We get that it's fun to spray your
products and dance around in the mist, but for a first date a strong scent can
be a bit overwhelming.
#2: When in doubt, wear jeans
First dates are tonsa fun, but you really need to think
about where you're going and pick a practical outfit based on the venue. Don't
get too excited playing dress-up and waltz outta the house in a tulle gown and
6-inch heels! Trust us, there is a time and a place for formal attire (cough, Prom,
cough) but a first date is so not the time
to flaunt your red-carpet finesse. We
always resort to dark skinny jeans and a pretty top for an anything-goes,
casual vibe.
#3: Steer clear of anything too revealing
One thing you don't want a guy to take away from a first
date? The wrong impression! Avoid anything overly revealing (loose bra straps, sheer
tops, low-cut blouses or too-short skirts) or anything that is too mature for
your age. You want to feel and look comfortable and age-appropriate in your
clothing. Who wants to be tugging at their strapless all night?
#4: Leave your fave Bieber shirt at home
Sure. every girl has a celeb crush (and a lucky T-shirt
with your cutie's face on it), but you don't wanna intimidate your real-life
boyfriend by advertising to him you're head-over-heels into Hollywood hotties
whom he can't compete with. It may sound cray, but guys get insecure, too. Don't
worry him by indirectly inferring you're lovesick over a certain someone whose
name starts with "Harry" and ends with "Styles." Give him a shot to show he's just as crush-worthy
as any celeb.
#5: Beware of going too casual
Sweatpants. Baseball Caps. Sneakers. Unless your first
date involves a tennis match or a jog, there is absolutely no excuse for
wearing your old sport clothes on a date. There is nothing wrong with trying to
look nice for your guy, so have fun picking a fun outfit that makes you feel
amazing and not like you just rolled out of bed.
#6: Don't max out on the makeup
You know when you put on too much foundation and you look like
a giant pancake flopped onto your face? Yeah, not a great first date look.
Don't feel the need to overdo your first-date beauty. Keep it natural and light
(a bit of tinted moisturizer, lipgloss and mascara is all you need!). Trust us
when we say less really is more, babes!
+ Hundreds of
hairstyles to try right now

Helpful Tip for: Ice Hockey
Ice Hockey, in Park Rapids, is the game of hockey played on sheets of ice in cold countries where it is popular. The sport involves risk of incurring physical injuries as it calls for swift shifts in positions, offensive and defensive strikes on ice, and hence needs to be played with proper protective equipment by the players.

Bob Hartley has been fined $50,000 by the National Hockey League, which blames the Calgary Flames coach for the brawl that broke out late in Friday night's playoff game against the Vancouver Canucks.
It is a best-of-five series now, one that suddenly has some real feeling.
The Vancouver Canucks team awards will be announced next Saturday night when the club plays its final game of the regular season against the Edmonton Oilers at Rogers Arena.
ST. LOUIS — Radim Vrbata is not thinking about all the goals he is scoring and creating. He's the only one.
On a night the Vancouver Canucks honoured Pat Quinn, it was another 'Irishman' who helped cap off what was a highly emotional evening in style.
The Minnesota Wild has been a different team with Devan Dubnyk in goal. The Vancouver Canucks should be a different team with Chris Tanev back on defence.
After Thursday's dismal effort against the San Jose Sharks, the Vancouver Canucks vowed to have their game faces on Saturday for the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Markus Naslund was born in Sweden and lives there again in retirement, but for 12 years he was a Vancouver Canuck.
Unlike their linemate Radim Vrbata, Daniel and Henrik Sedin do not have a financial stake in their hometown hockey team. But like nearly everyone else in Ornskoldsvik, Sweden, they have a huge emotional attachment to Modo, the Swedish Hockey League team they grew up watching and played for before joining the Vancouver Canucks.
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- In case you hadn't noticed, Daniel Sedin hasn't been scoring as much.
Players who talked about Pat Quinn on Monday described him as honest, hard working, sincere and most of all a great leader who could get the best out of his players.
Steve Moore says the 10 years since his NHL career came to an abrupt end have been very difficult, but he is glad to no longer be burdened by an unresolved legal case.
When news broke Tuesday that Steve Moore's lawsuit against Todd Bertuzzi and the Vancouver Canucks had been settled — news that was overdue but expected, like the death of George Burns or the retirement of Chris Chelios — the natural question was: What took so long?
A kid goes into a draft interview and the Florida Panthers ask: "If you were in the military, would you pilot an attack helicopter, be a medic or a sniper?"
The Vancouver Canucks aren't dead yet — it only looks that way.
Professional sports can be a ruthless business. Coaches and athletes in the National Hockey League are as much tools of the $8-billion enterprise as arenas and skates and as much commodities as the prime seats and advertising spots, so they tend to be acquired, deployed and dealt away as franchise needs and objectives change.
PHOENIX — The first day of the rest of Eddie Lack's life looked for the Vancouver Canucks like the last two months of their darkening season.
PHOENIX — Nearly eight years after he arrived in Vancouver, goalie Roberto Luongo made a U-turn home Tuesday and the trade that sent him back to the Florida Panthers was nearly as unexpected as the one that brought him to the Canucks in 2006.
The Vancouver Canucks took out an injury-depleted and reeling Columbus Blue Jackets team Friday with a convincing 6-2 victory. Taking out the defending Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks tonight at Rogers Arena will be another animal all together.
There doesn't appear to be a quick exit from the doghouse for under-achieving Vancouver Canuck winger David Booth.

David Suzuki with contributions from David Suzuki Foundation's Senior Editor Ian Hanington

(Credit: Kris Krug via Flickr)

On July 15, a state-of-the-art new pipeline near Fort McMurray, Alberta, ruptured, spilling five million litres of bitumen, sand and waste water over 16,000 square metres -- one of the largest pipeline oil spills in Canadian history. Two days later, a train carrying crude oil from North Dakota derailed in Montana, spilling 160,000 litres and forcing evacuation of nearby homes.

At the same time, while forest fires raged across large swathes of Western Canada -- thanks to hotter, dryer conditions and longer fire seasons driven in part by climate change -- Canadian premiers met in St. John's, Newfoundland, to release their national energy strategy.

The premiers' Canadian Energy Strategy focuses on energy conservation and efficiency, clean energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions to combat climate change. But details are vague and there's no sense of urgency. We need a response like the U.S. reaction to Pearl Harbor or the Soviet Sputnik launch!

The premiers seemingly want it both ways. Despite its call to "Build on the ongoing efforts of individuals, businesses, governments and others to improve energy efficiency, lower the carbon footprint, and improve understanding of energy in Canada," the strategy promotes fossil fuel business as usual, including expanded pipeline, oil sands and liquefied natural gas development, including more fracking.

The premiers' plan is a non-binding framework, described as a "flexible, living document that will further enable provinces and territories to move forward and collaborate on common energy-related interests according to their unique strengths, challenges and priorities." It doesn't include specifics on how to revamp our energy production and distribution systems, but buys time until the next elections roll around.

Although the language about climate change and clean energy is important, the strategy remains stuck in the fossil fuel era. As Climate Action Network Canada executive director Louise Comeau said in a news release, "Governments discriminate against smoking and toxics in food and consumer products. What's needed now is discriminatory policy against fossil fuels if we are going to drastically reduce the carbon pollution putting our health and well-being at risk."

Fossil fuel development has spurred economic development, created jobs and provided many other benefits, but the risks now outweigh those benefits. The costs in dollars and lives of pollution, habitat and wildlife degradation, pipeline and railcar spills, and climate change -- all getting worse as populations grow, energy needs increase and fossil fuel reserves become increasingly scarce and difficult to exploit -- have become unsustainable.

Even job creation is no longer a reason to continue our mad rush to expand development and export of oil sands bitumen, fracked gas and coal. Many fossil fuel reserves are now seen as stranded assets that will continue to decline in value as the world shifts to clean energy and the scramble to exploit resources gluts the market. The Climate Action Network points out that Clean Energy Canada's 2015 report on renewable energy trends showed that "global investors moved USD$295 billion in 2014 into renewable energy-generation projects -- an increase of 17 percent over 2013."

Yet, many of our leaders are still pinning their hopes on rapid oil sands expansion, massive increases in fracking for liquefied natural gas and new and expanded pipelines across the country -- with benefits flowing more to industry than citizens.

It's refreshing to see provincial premiers at least recognizing the threat of climate change and the need to address it through conservation, efficiency and clean technology, but we need a far greater shift to keep the problems we've created from getting worse. There are many benefits to doing so, including more and better jobs, a stronger economy, healthier citizens and reduced health-care costs, and greater preservation of our rich natural heritage.

The recent spate of pipeline and railcar oil spills, along with disasters like the 2010 Deepwater Horizon explosion in the Gulf of Mexico, are the result of rapid expansion of fossil fuel development, as industry and governments race to get the dirty products to market before demand dries up.

Canada's premiers should take these issues seriously and commit to a faster shift from fossil fuels as they continue to develop their energy strategy. They must also stress the importance of having similar, stronger action from the federal government -- and so should we all.

When an assassin killed Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria in 1914, no one called it the start of the First World War. That happened years later, after the implications, consequences and scale of the response could be assessed. It's often the way. That's why historians are important; they put events in context.

Similarly, I doubt anyone knew how our world would change after Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak built their first computer in Jobs' parents' garage in 1975.

In 1988, when climate scientist James Hansen testified in Washington that human-caused global warming was kicking in, people might have been excused for failing to grasp the significance of his early warning. But there's no excuse for humanity's subsequent dismissal and denial of the reality of his statements and the deliberate, aggressive opposition to any action to reduce the threat.

For years, environmentalists have called for an urgent response to runaway climate change. Evidence has poured in from around the world to corroborate Hansen's conclusions, from melting glaciers, sea level rise and ocean acidification to increasing extreme weather events and changes in animal and plant behaviour and ranges.

Despite the evidence, few governments have taken the necessary steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Instead of listening to scientists and citizens, many leaders have chosen to heed the fossil fuel industry's massive PR machine and right-wing ideologues who see the call for global action as a socialist threat to capitalism.

There has been progress, at national and subnational levels, and among forward-thinking corporations and organizations. Some, like the commitment by countries including Denmark and Germany to reduce dependence on fossil fuels after the 1973 Arab oil embargo, were in response to markets rather than the climate crisis, but it positioned them well as evidence for climate change mounted.

More recently, people on the frontlines of climate change such as Pacific Islanders and Inuit have warned of the changes they're experiencing. The insurance industry and a number of corporations have called for action, with some, like Tesla, designing solutions. But many in the media and government continue to downplay the problem.

I've been astounded by the lack of response over the years, but I'll go out on a limb and suggest a shift is now taking place. Although we may not recognize its significance without the benefit of hindsight, we appear to be in the early stages of something huge.

Even some news outlets are shifting. The U.K.'s Guardian decided earlier this year to increase its coverage of climate change, going so far as to encourage divestment from the fossil fuel industry. The New York Times decided to use the more accurate term "denier" rather than "skeptic" to refer to those who reject the overwhelming evidence for human-caused climate change.

People power is another sign of the growing shift: 400,000 at the largest climate march in history in New York in September, with 2,646 simultaneous marches in 162 countries; an unprecedented gathering of 25,000 in Quebec City in advance of a premiers' climate change summit in April; and more than 10,000 in Toronto (including me) on July 5 for the March for Jobs, Justice and the Climate in advance of the Climate Summit of the Americas.

When Pope Francis reached beyond the world's 1.2 billion Catholics to call for action on climate change, his message was endorsed by other religious leaders and organizations, including the Dalai Lama, the Islamic Society of North America, an influential group of Jewish rabbis and the Church of England.

Beyond visible evidence of the increasing willingness to meet the challenge of global warming, one of the biggest signs of a shift has been the almost unnoticed but spectacular increase in renewable energy investment in countries like the U.S., Brazil and China.

It's easy for governments and industry to prioritize corporate profits and short-term gain over the best interests of complacent citizens. But when enough people demand action, take to the streets, write to business, political and religious leaders and talk to friends and family, change starts happening. We never know how big it will be until it's occurred -- but this time, it looks like it could be monumental! Let's hope so.

My hometown, Vancouver, is in a rainforest, so we celebrate sunny days. People I talk to are enjoying the recent warm, dry weather, but they invariably add, "This isn't normal" -- especially with all the smoke from nearby forest fires.

With no mountain snowpack and almost no spring rain, rivers, creeks and reservoirs are at levels typically not seen until fall. Parks are brown. Blueberries, strawberries and other crops have arrived weeks earlier than usual. Wildfires are burning here and throughout Western Canada. Meanwhile, normally dry Kamloops has had record flooding, as has Toronto. Manitoba has been hit with several tornadoes and golf-ball-sized hail.

Unusual weather is everywhere. California is in its fourth year of severe drought. Temperatures in Spain, Portugal, India and Pakistan have reached record levels, sparking wildfires and causing thousands of deaths and heat-related ailments. Heavy rains, flooding and an unusually high number of tornadoes have caused extensive damage and loss of life in Texas, Oklahoma and Mexico.

The likely causes are complex: a stuck jet stream, the Pacific El Niño, natural variation and climate change. Even though it's difficult to link all events directly to global warming, climate scientists have warned for years that we can expect these kinds of extremes to continue and worsen as the world warms. Some hypothesize that the strange behaviours of this year's jet stream and El Niño are related to climate change, with shrinking Arctic sea ice affecting the former.

Several recent studies indicate a clear connection between increasing extreme weather and climate change. One, by climatologists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, looked at rising global atmospheric and sea-surface temperatures, which have increased water vapour in the atmosphere by about five per cent since the 1950s. According to the paper, published in Nature Climate Change, "This has fuelled larger storms, and in the case of hurricanes and typhoons, ones that ride atop oceans that are 19 centimetres higher than they were in the early 1900s. That sea-level rise increases the height of waves and tidal surges as storms make landfall."

A Stanford University study found, "accumulation of heat in the atmosphere can account for much of the increase in extreme high temperatures, as well as an average decrease in cold extremes, across parts of North America, Europe and Asia," but also concluded the influence of human activity on atmospheric circulation, another factor in climate change, is not well understood.

Earth is clearly experiencing more frequent extreme weather than in the past, and we can expect it to get worse as we burn more coal, oil and gas and pump more carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. This can have profound and costly impacts on everything from agriculture to infrastructure, not to mention human health and life.

As Pope Francis pointed out, climate change and social justice are intricately connected: "The human environment and the natural environment deteriorate together; we cannot adequately combat environmental degradation unless we attend to causes related to human and social degradation."

That's why so many people from Canada and around the world are calling for action as government leaders prepare for December's UN climate summit in Paris: religious leaders including Pope Francis and the Dalai Lama; global organizations like the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, International Energy Agency and World Health Organization; businesses from Microsoft to Ikea to General Motors; and millions of people like those who marched for "Jobs, Justice and the Climate" in Toronto on July 5. All know the future of humanity depends on rapidly shifting the way we obtain and use energy.

Even though many world leaders recognize the problem, the recent G-7 agreement to decarbonize our energy by the end of the century is a horrifying joke. None of today's politicians making the commitment will be alive to bear the responsibility for achieving the target, and the time frame doesn't address the urgent need to begin huge reductions in fossil fuel use immediately.

Governments at the provincial, state and municipal levels have led the way in finding solutions. Now it's time for national leaders to finally demonstrate real courage and foresight as they gear up for the Paris summit later this year.

David Suzuki with contributions from David Suzuki Foundation's Senior Editor Ian Hanington

If nothing else, the G7 countries' recent agreement to end fossil fuel use for energy by 2100 signals a shift in the way we talk and think about global warming. Previous agreements were about reducing carbon emissions from burning coal, oil and gas. This takes matters a step further by envisioning a fossil fuel-free future.

There are reasons for cynicism: the long time frame means none of the politicians involved in the commitment will even be alive, let alone held accountable, for meeting the target in 2100; Canada and Japan watered down Germany's proposal to end fossil fuel energy by 2050; and many governments, including Canada's, haven't met even their current weak commitments. But in calling for deep emissions cuts by 2050 and an end to fossil fuel energy by 2100 -- "decarbonization" -- the non-binding pledge at least shows governments recognize the need to confront climate change.

Canada could show it takes the commitment seriously by heeding the advice of 100 scientists (including 12 Royal Society of Canada fellows, 22 U.S. National Academy of Sciences members, five Order of Canada recipients and a Nobel Prize winner, from a range of disciplines) who released a statement with 10 reasons why "No new oil sands or related infrastructure projects should proceed unless consistent with an implemented plan to rapidly reduce carbon pollution, safeguard biodiversity, protect human health, and respect treaty rights."

According to Simon Fraser University energy economist and statement co-author Mark Jaccard, "Leading independent researchers show that significant expansion of the oil sands and similar unconventional oil sources is inconsistent with efforts to avoid potentially dangerous climate change."

Another author, Northern Arizona University ecologist Tom Sisk, said it's not just about climate: "Oil sands development is industrializing and degrading some of the wildest regions of the planet, contaminating its rivers, and transforming a landscape that stores huge amounts of carbon into one that releases it."

The reasons for a moratorium include: oil sands expansion and investment are incompatible with climate protection and are slowing the shift to clean energy; monitoring and enforcement are inadequate; landscape is being contaminated and reclamation is insufficient; First Nations treaties are being violated; affordable alternatives are available; cumulative impacts have been ignored; and Canadians are demanding solutions.

Of course, it will take more than a non-binding pledge and slowing or halting oil sands expansion to avert the worst consequences of climate change. In an article in the journal Nature last year, eight scientists who signed the moratorium statement, including Jaccard, argued Canada and the U.S. must stop treating "oil-sands production, transportation, climate and environmental policies as separate issues, assessing each new proposal in isolation. A more coherent approach, one that evaluates all oil-sands projects in the context of broader, integrated energy and climate strategies, is sorely needed."

As part of a co-ordinated strategy, they proposed putting a price on carbon, through a carbon tax or cap-and-trade, to "ensure that the full social costs of carbon combustion are incorporated into investment decisions about energy and infrastructure." Carbon pricing is widely accepted as an effective way to discourage fossil fuel use and encourage clean energy development.

In future, people will look back and question why we burned such precious resources so wastefully. Fossil fuels are solar energy, concentrated over millennia and useful for numerous applications, many of which we probably haven't even discovered. Yet we've burned them largely so people, often solo drivers, can move around in tonnes of metal and plastic on land-destroying and expensive infrastructure. And we've used them to create increasing amounts of plastic packaging and unnecessary products that are now choking our oceans and land.

Moving toward zero carbon emissions -- in a much shorter timeline than agreed upon by Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States -- is absolutely necessary, and not just for the climate. Eliminating fossil fuel energy will cut dangerous pollution, create new economic opportunities and ensure resources are available for wiser applications.

The words of scientists, government leaders and other experts -- and now Pope Francis and the Dalai Lama -- make it clear that it's time to turn the page on this destructive and relatively recent chapter in our history. Now we must ensure our leaders strengthen and act on their commitments.

Earth has existed for 4.5 billion years, humans for somewhere around 150,000. But in my brief lifetime -- less than 80 years -- human populations have exploded exponentially, from two billion to more than seven billion. In that short time, we've created consumer societies and decimated the planet's natural systems, used up resources, filled oceans with plastic and pollution, altered water cycles, and upset the Earth's carbon cycle, disrupting global climate systems.

Our impacts on this small blue planet have been so rapid, widespread and profound that many scientists call this the Anthropocene Epoch. Much of it has coincided with the discovery and exploitation of fossil fuels, which showed great promise when I was a child. They were abundant and we didn't understand the consequences of recklessly burning them. Cars were designed to use lots of gas and propel oil industry profits, not to conserve energy. Factories were built to create products and increase distribution efficiencies.

No longer confined to growing food and providing agricultural services, people moved to cities and, freed from the constraints of limited access to resources, grew rapidly in number, dramatically increasing consumption.

Because our technological prowess has grown faster than our knowledge, wisdom and foresight, much of what we've created is now crashing down around us -- battered by pollution, ecosystem collapse, species extinction, resource scarcity, inequality, climate change and overpopulation.

Pope Francis recently put humanity's situation in context -- and offered hope for the future. Regardless of how you feel about religion or the Catholic Church, or even some ideas in the Pope's encyclical, there's no denying it contains a powerful, scientifically and morally valid call for radical change that will reach an audience far beyond the world's 1.2 billion Roman Catholics.

In his June 18 address, the Pope called on the world -- not just Catholics -- to recognize the need for change in the face of ecological crises such as human-caused global warming and the failure of growth-fuelled market economics to facilitate human survival, happiness and prosperity. "Never have we so hurt and mistreated our common home as we have in the last two hundred years," he said.

In his wide-ranging address, Pope Francis spoke about pollution, climate change, water, biodiversity, inequality, poverty, economics, consumerism and spirituality. "The pace of consumption, waste and environmental change has so stretched the planet's capacity that our contemporary lifestyle, unsustainable as it is, can only precipitate catastrophes, such as those which even now periodically occur in different areas of the world," he said. "The effects of the present imbalance can only be reduced by our decisive action, here and now."

He also called out those stalling or preventing action to confront environmental problems, especially global warming: "Obstructionist attitudes, even on the part of believers, can range from denial of the problem to indifference, nonchalant resignation or blind confidence in technical solutions."

Connecting the dots between environmental degradation and inequality, he urged people to "integrate questions of justice in debates on the environment, so as to hear both the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor."

Although parts of the address are bleak, the Pope argued that open conversation and changes in thinking, acting and governing could bring about positive change, even for the economy: "Productive diversification offers the fullest possibilities to human ingenuity to create and innovate, while at the same time protecting the environment and creating more sources of employment."

And, he noted, "Human beings, while capable of the worst, are also capable of rising above themselves, choosing again what is good, and making a new start, despite their mental and social conditioning."

The Pope joins a diverse global chorus of people calling for changes in our destructive lifestyle to confront crises such as climate change and the ever-growing gap between poor and rich.

These expanding and increasingly urgent calls to confront our hubris for the sake of humanity's future represent a necessary shift in a way of thinking that has propelled us along what is, after all, just a recent and brief destructive course in our history. As Pope Francis said, "We must regain the conviction that we need one another, that we have a shared responsibility for others and the world, and that being good and decent are worth it."

In 1962, biologist and writer Rachel Carson published Silent Spring, a book about the widespread use of agricultural pesticides, and how toxic chemicals like DDT were threatening insects, birds and other elements of our natural world. It garnered widespread critical and popular acclaim and is heralded as the catalyst for the modern environmental movement.

Carson's ability to describe in simple but passionate language the great damage caused by pesticides, and her courage to express controversial ideas that rankled powerful business and political interests, helped propel the book to massive success.

Agrochemical companies responded with furor, threatening the publisher with a libel lawsuit and launching well-funded public relations campaigns touting the safety and necessity of agricultural chemicals. Critics of Silent Spring also attacked Carson personally, accusing her of being radical, unpatriotic and sympathetic to communism -- a serious threat during the height of the Cold War.

Even though Carson was a well-educated biologist with a master's degree in zoology, she was dismissed as an amateur and a "hysterical woman" in industry journals and the popular press.

Fortunately, she remained steadfast despite the attacks, and we have all benefited. Dangerous pesticides like DDT have been restricted and laws to protect the health of the environment and communities have been enacted around the world. But sadly, harassment and intimidation of environmental advocates continues. Some would argue it has worsened with the rise of social media, which amplifies messages of hatred and intolerance, often under the cowardly cloak of anonymity.

We witnessed a recent example when David Suzuki Foundation senior scientist Faisal Moola was attacked on social media for supporting a campaign -- on his own time as a private citizen -- asking Tim Hortons to stop running ads for controversial oil sands pipeline company Enbridge on its in-store TV channel. The company had been running the commercials in about 1,500 Tim Hortons coffee shops in an attempt to resurrect its sinking brand among Canadians.

Moola was one of 28,000 Canadians who wrote or tweeted to ask Tim Hortons to pull the Enbridge campaign from its network, but he was singled out for attack by right-wing oil sands promoter and pundit Ezra Levant, who accused him on Twitter of being a "foreign-funded extremist" responsible for Tim Hortons' decision to stop running the ads.

At one point Moola's name was trending nationally on Twitter, largely because of the barrage of hate messages he was receiving every few minutes, including many xenophobic and racist attacks on his ethnic background and Muslim religion. He was accused of being "anti-Canadian", an "extremist" and even a "terrorist" because of his opposition to oil sands expansion -- even though 100 fellow scientists just released a public statement calling for a moratorium on oil sands development.

Moola's experience, like that of Rachel Carson's a half-century earlier, shows that environmental advocacy has never been easy. As Heiltsuk community organizer and First Nations leader Jess Housty says, "Activism is hard. It pits you against forces that have a lot at stake, and who fight dirty and bite back hard."

I've spoken to thousands of environmental and community activists during many years of meeting with Canadians across this country. I've heard too many stories of people being harassed, ostracized, sued for standing up to large corporations and even fired from jobs because of their environmental advocacy.

Canada is blessed to have strong laws that protect human rights and prohibit hate speech, and the courts have held accountable those who've defamed people with xenophobic accusations. And we rarely have to fear the levels of violence faced by environmental and social justice advocates in other parts of the world. But recent polls reveal the uncomfortable truth that many Canadians hold intolerant, even racist, beliefs.

Reading comments sections of online publications and Facebook and Twitter posts and listening to call-in radio shows can be disheartening. People often express the worst of their tribal instincts on these public forums, and discussion of difficult issues like the oil sands often degenerates into personal, irrational and sometimes hateful rhetoric.

Canadians must continue to speak out for our water, land, air and wildlife, for justice for Indigenous Peoples, and for a clean energy future -- without fear of harassment, intimidation and hatred.

Reading the news, it's hard not to feel a growing sense of unease. The threat of terrorism, growing instability and conflict overseas, a shooting on Parliament Hill last October and uncertainty about the economy diminish our collective feelings of safety and security. To this we add the looming environmental threats of climate change, pollution, declining ocean health, oil spills and extreme weather.

All of it takes a psychological toll, even when we're not directly affected. Studies show that when we feel threatened, we isolate ourselves and focus on restoring our sense of security. Many people attempt to alleviate anxiety by grasping for wealth, seeking pleasure and taking solace in achievement or status. But this strategy backfires. Instead of bolstering our sense of security and well-being, it diminishes it.

Across cultures and regardless of age and gender, people whose values centre on social position and accumulation of money and possessions actually face a greater risk of unhappiness, including anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. In his book The High Price of Materialism, psychology professor Tim Kasser shows how materialistic values undermine well-being, perpetuate feelings of insecurity and weaken the ties that bind us as human beings.

People who are materialistic also tend to be less interested in ecological issues, have negative attitudes toward the environment and demonstrate fewer instances of sustainable behaviour. That's a tragedy for humanity and the rest of life on Earth.

Cross-cultural research in social science has identified a set of consistently occurring human values. Social psychologists refer to one cluster as "extrinsic", or materialistic. These are concerned with our desire for achievement, status, power and wealth. Opposite to those are "intrinsic" values. They relate to caring, community, environmental concern and social justice.

Although each of us carries both, the importance we attach to one set of values tends to diminish the importance of the other. When power values like social status, prestige and dominance come first, the universal values of tolerance, appreciation and concern for the welfare of others are suppressed.

The U.K.-based Common Cause Foundation is synthesizing this growing body of values research. It offers guidance to social change organizations on ways to engage cultural values to further their causes. Because values are like muscles -- they get stronger the more we exercise them -- activists can consciously stimulate intrinsic values in communications and campaigns.

Researchers have also discovered what they call the values "bleed-over effect". Because values tend to exist in clusters, when one is activated, so are compatible neighbouring values. For example, people reminded of generosity, self-direction and family are more likely to support pro-environmental policies than those reminded of financial success and status.

The forces behind planetary crises are complex. History, politics and economics influence how humans act. Social change requires a focus on individual behaviour, corporate responsibility and government policy. In today's unstable political environment, values must also be part of the equation.

That's where we find an important connection between environmental and social justice movements. On a values level, the efforts and strategies to combat climate change and biodiversity loss complement and strengthen those required to bring about greater equality. When environmentalists invoke intrinsic values to increase support for their cause, they also increase support for social justice.

Because values are an important driver of attitudes and behaviour, they are essential to changing social norms. What can we do as individuals? Our social responsibility goes deeper than our consumer habits and voting choices. We need to reflect on what's important to us. We all deserve to feel secure in our homes and communities, but we can't depend on the false sense of security that isolation or materialistic pursuits bring. When psychological insecurity is on the rise, we need to stay committed to the values that make us environmentalists and champions of social justice. Instead of retreating to our corners, let's turn toward one another to re-establish our sense of security and strength.

The good news is that values that support a healthy society and sustainable planet -- self-respect, concern for others, connection with nature, equality -- also make us happiest in the long term. Each one of us is a value prism, subtly bending the light in a particular direction. As Canadians, let's be conscious of where we direct our light.
