From what Iʼve seen, a bad convict runs his mouth about how smart he is (even if he isnʼt), a good convict will be honest with how much intellect he has, and a great convict wonʼt tell you a thing. So as I ran my mouth about how much I knew about the stars my interviewee sat quietly. I told him when you look into the stars, you are also looking into the past, because it takes thousands of years for the light of a star to travel to us. As I continued running my mouth, my interviewee eventually told me about looking into the past, and I could understand he meant much more than what his words said alone. The life of crime is as far from me as the stars are, and each time I read over this interview, I see something new in it. Itʼs because of this, and for his own protection, that I named the interviewee after his favorite nebula,the Dark Horse Nebula, or DHN for short.

Review: A
Critique on Canada's Withdrawal from the Kyoto Protocol
If Canada should be praised for its climate change efforts, it's definitely not something we can make out in the map above. Prior to 2011, Canada proudly boasted its green status in that map, but now it has shamefully drifted into brown zone, which is not a good thing if you consider Canada's size and what we usually associate the color brown with- it's kind of hard to miss, eh?
Well, when Minister of Environment Canada, Peter Kent, announced that we've officially withdrawn from the Kyoto Protocol last year, let's just say people weren't exactly too happy or too proud about the news. The Kyoto Protocol, joining 194 developed nations together in consent to negotiate on ways to reduce CO2 emissions into our planet's atmosphere, is a historic milestone. It is the first and only international agreement that obliges nations to respect target rates of green house gas emissions into the atmosphere. It's basically one of the most important commitments a developed nation could commit to in its fight against climate change, and Canada, the alleged "pro-green nation", was the first nation to ever withdraw from it after only six years of quasi-contribution. Why, oh Canada, why?
