Good one Albs Thanks for bringing the thread 'back down to earth' mate

 :-? :-? where did you think the thread was heading Phil?

Back to the thread...

Cabinet ministers in the Maldives held an underwater meeting Saturday to draw attention to the threat global warming poses to the lowest-lying nation on earth.

http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2009/10/17/maldives-climate-change.html

Open letter to the President of The Maldives from Nils-Axel Morner:

"You have recently held an undersea Cabinet meeting to raise awareness of the idea that global sea level is rising and hence threatens to drown the Maldives. This proposition is not founded in observational facts and true scientific judgements, Accordingly it is incorrect.

Therefore, I am most surprised at your action and must protest to its intended message.

In 2001, when our research group found overwhelming evidence that sea level was by no means in a rising mode in the Maldives, but had remained quite stable for the last 30 years, I thought it would not be respectful to the fine people of the Maldives if I were to return home and present our results in international fora. Therefore, I announced this happy news during an interview for your local TV station. However, your predecessor as president censored and stopped the broadcast."

Nils-Axel Mörner?

Head of Paleogeophysics & Geodynamics at Stockholm University, Sweden (1991-2005)
President of the INQUA Commission on Sea Level Changes and Coastal Evolution (1999-2003)
Leader of the Maldives Sea Level Project (2000 on)
Chairman of the INTAS project on Geomagnetism and Climate (1997-2003)
Awarded the Golden Condrite of Merit from Algarve University (2008) “for his irreverence and contribution to our understanding of sea level change”

I hope he's not holding his breath for any sensible response from the elite of that fine establishment

[albitz]

I now have more than one reason to vote UKIP.

[Banjax]

and i have one more reason not to 

[Dishevelled Den]

I'm pleased to be apolitical 

[doog]

YES, I AM SHOUTING. 

I can't contain myself anymore. I really enjoy reading all the little titbits on here, everything from jokes about caravans to discussions about what we're havng for tea. I also appreciate that many of you have no interest in politics. But it's time to wake up.

What if I told you that in Copenhagen in December (if things go the way they're intended), Brown, Obama and the others will sign a treaty which will effectively give away our wealth to the developing world, North Korea, Pakistan, Venezuela – indeed, anywhere you care to name, as long as it's not a western industrialised country. Not only will we sign away huge amounts of our wealth, but we will also sink our economies with crippling emission reduction schemes.

This is not a joke, guys. You can read a link here and also link to the UN's proposed treaty.

Viscount Monkton of Brenchley (who no doubt Bannjaax will try to rubbish) has even suggested that US sovereignty will be ceded if the US signs up.

http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/10/16/obama-poised-to-cede-us-sovereignty-in-copenhagen-claims-british-lord-monckton/

Remember this is designed to take place in December in Copenhagen. Don't say I didn't warn you.

 

So....... what is so very wrong with the wealthy countries of the world helping the less fortunate?.
Not everything in the world needs to be about profit.

As for the emissions reduction scheme......it is almost inevitable that it will come to this in the near future.

The people in this wealth country have to pay for it.
given that were already taxed to death  i am struggling to find a reason to give my money away to  someone i dont know or even care about,
more so when many of us are worried how we will pay our mortgage when the intrest rates go through the roof as they will  soon
I am of the mindset  dont wave your arms about when your hanging by your fingernails Lets get out our own mess before we start trying to bail out everyone else with their problems
