K. Rudd Kevin Rudd’s Last Stand at ‘Little Big’ Copenhagen posted by bluey, 2009-12-17 20:59:36
One cannot help but draw parallels between the arrogance, foolhardiness and NARCISSISM of General George Armstrong Custer and his modern blonde counterpart, Kevin ‘photo-op’ Rudd. Both men share similar personality flaws, not the least being pathological narcissism, which also explains the one-man-band attitude of both men AND of course defines their greatest weakness and the inevitable cause of their ignominious FALL from grace.

Copenhagen: the 'FIX' is in -- Corporatist sham EXPOSED! posted by John Vidal via fish, 2009-12-08 18:48:45
The UN Copenhagen climate talks are in disarray today after developing countries reacted furiously to leaked documents that show world leaders will next week be asked to sign an agreement that hands more power to rich countries and sidelines the UN's role in all future climate change negotiations.

That's their boy -- Rudd dutifully performing for the Yanks ETS PM, Kevin Rudd, exposed as Corporate Lackey and LIAR posted by AAP wire via fleet, 2009-12-03 00:34:56
It is no secret today that Capitalism’s last, desperate pitch to survive depends on (grossly unfair) Carbon Trading/Emission Schemes. Not surprisingly the Corporate world has dispatched their LACKEY politicians to implement Carbon Trading schemes in the respective nations in which they hold sway. However, schemes that disadvantage the average person with CRUSHING additional TAXES while COMPENSATING Industry/Big Business for polluting, may prove a very hard sell to say the least – one national leader EXPOSED, who’s next?

You can’t have your slave and whip him too! posted by birdie, 2009-11-23 19:01:00
All attempts by puppet governments to implement carbon trading (ETS) are doomed to failure for a very simple reason; their ‘solution' is the problem! Allow me to clarify – every man and his dog is aware that Criminal Corporatists are responsible for the collapse of the global economy and that laissez-faire Capitalism is the ideological cause of all our current woes. YET the imbeciles and CRIMINALS that perpetrated this global economic horror desire to ‘trade’ -- MAKE MONEY -- from pollution via Carbon Trading! The solution is the problem, do you get it now?

Royal Dutch Shell Shell Oil pays $19.5m to avoid facing criminal proceedings posted by Meredith Griffiths via talya, 2009-06-09 05:53:20
Oil company Shell has agreed to pay $19.5 million to avoid standing trial over accusations that it was complicit in human rights abuses in Nigeria in the 1990s. The families of nine people executed in 1995 accused Shell of collaborating with the country's military regime to silence the activists for protesting against the oil company's environmental practices in the Niger Delta.

Sun Earth Changes according to Edgar Cayce posted by quill, 2009-04-12 08:03:35
Edgar Cayce needs no introduction for those sensitive to life and its greater meaning. Humankind has unfortunately failed itself; it failed to learn two simple lessons, brotherly Love and Peace! The USA leads the world today in mass murder, plunder, selfishness, crime and all manner of vile pursuits. Those who follow will share in the 'reward!'

I leave you with some interesting predictions. (full story)

Mt. Redoubt, previous eruption Some of Cayce's Predictions posted by ides, 2009-03-19 18:55:36
Recent events have warranted the upgrade of this comment -- originally to article 304 -- to story status. The principal considerations for the upgrade relate to relevancy and timeliness.

The sheer beauty and power of Nature's forces may have also influenced our decision; 'let her rip, Gaia -- way to go!' (full story and 1 comments)

Sowing the wind posted by nano, 2008-05-20 23:04:30
Over twenty years ago (take note Al) an Australian commercial channel aired a program on the impending destructive effects of pollution on the climate and the environment. It was a measured, rational, non-sensationalist but heavily supported with scientific data presentation. It detailed the effects of global warming on major ocean currents and the dire consequences for North-Western Europe; it highlighted the potential wholesale destruction of sensitive coral reefs and the maritime ecology. It referred to biological indicators, stressed amphibians, frogs and the disturbed migration pattern of birds. All evident at the time – 20 years ago! But the most alarming indicator was accelerated glacial melting/receding -- high mountain glaciers feed the world’s largest food producing river systems! (full story and 2 comments)
