      A study has found that an overwhelming majority of people agreed it would be necessary to make changes in their lifestyle and behaviour to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. But there were limits. Only half approved higher taxes for energy and coal although this rose to 77 per cent if the tax raised was specifically devoted to promoting energy efficiency or developing cleaner fuels.

    • "Right Now, I Could Kill President Bush"

      Posted by theangryindian

      Not the sort of thing you'd normally expect to hear out of the mouth of a Nobel Peace Prize winner, but then, these are not normal times : Nobel Peace Prize winner Betty Williams came from Ireland to Texas to declare that President Bush should be impeached. In a keynote speech at the International Women's Peace Conference on Wednesday night, Ms. Williams told a crowd of about 1,000 that the Bush administration has been treacherous and wrong and acted unconstitutionally.

    Gobal warming insurance premiums

    One of the many tragedies of the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina three years ago was the fact that insurance companies used the event to systematically deny claims, leaving victims further in desperate straits. That shouldn’t happen following any natural disaster, and even though the immediate storm effects did not cause as much damage as predicted, there are sure to be plenty of claims for flood damages throughout the Midwest and along Gustav’s path. If you or someone you know has been denied an insurance claim related to Gustav: that would be a site you should visit.

    GM's Bob Lutz: global warming "still a crock"

    Umm. Have you ever heard of this thing they call “Science”? There are no credible scientists anywhere on the planet who doubt the findings of the IPCC. Bob Lutz clearly is not a scientist, and clearly doesn’t know **** from shinola.

    Although I wouldn’t use foul language to express my view on global warming, Mr. Bob Lutz of GM is correct in his statement. Nevertheless, I believe the earth warms and cools, but it is neither our fault nor can we prevent it. We need clear air, and we’ve had it for some time now, but perfect air to breath will never happen!
    Perhaps, in another 25 years we will need global warming, because the earth will cool again as it has done so in the past. Our leaders will still be hung on global warming, and we won’t be able to stop all the money from flowing to it, because ‘global warming’ isn’t about the earth heating up, it’s about ‘the powers that be’; to be in control of the populous, and leveling the world economies.
    When the people are convinced they are doing something good, it’s all but imposible to turn their momentum around, and our leadship will lead America into the abiss of financial doom. All this will create a one world government over a poor people, which mostly will be accepted because we believed we were doing something good.

    Once a snowball like this heads downhill, it can’t be stopped!
