China is responsible for 23.33% of the emissions, the
U.S. for 18.11%. The European Union arrives at the third place with 14.04%. Together they make 55,48% of the emitted CO2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...xide_emissions When you look at the tons per capita however, a different picture emerges: U.S.: 19.18 China: 4.91 The first country according to per capita emissions is Australia, with 20.82, then the U.S. then Canada with 17.7 Data: http://www.ucsusa.org/global_warming...re-of-co2.html In both tables, the U.S. is the second. Obama has made a pact with China to block any progress in the U.N. clima talks, so the world will go on warming until they are covered by the rising ocean. Since only the 99% is affected (the 1% doesn't care at all) the clima will go on degrading and the 99% will suffer from the consequences. Big corporations will go on making profits warming or not. |

Since a panic is always an over reaction, creating the opportunity.

A panic is a panic is a panic is a panic. Every week I watch a 'complex adaptive system' get pushed to it's own tipping point. I've watched hundreds of them cycle, I know exactly how they behave when they're about to break, and just what to look for. It took just seven business days for the stock market to totally collapse in a panic. The oil market can go just the same way. The oil market is almost thin enough a good rumor could take it down. That's how close our world is to the abyss today. A GOOD ****ING RUMOR! And once the panic begins, no amount of fixes like a strategic reserve can stop it, in fact the fixes only adds fuel to the panic.

Of course, everyone knows his sister is the straw man owner, it's ...his charter school. Or will when he leaves office.

Look around the world to what the Internet and smart phones are doing. People are getting fed up and are ..massing. The power of collective action is starting to sink in around the world. I firmly believe a One World Government is forming. But from the people rising up and electronically connecting in a global network movement freedom, democracy and justice. From the Arab Spring to Occupy Wall Street. In Syria some 15,000 people have died in just months fighting for freedom. That's a Vietnam like casualty rate. When the interim govt in Egypt drops the ball, a 100,000 people show up the next day to protest. It's really quite a spectacle of change we're witnessing.

Jonathan A corrupt democracy like we currently have will only bankrupt the likes of China and Iran. There's nothing wrong with a good dictatorship. Of course coming up with a "GOOD" anything nowadays is a wee bit problematic, or it well most certainly become problematic once those Semitic oligarchs and Rothschilds get done with it. Giving whomever we elect to lead us with sufficient executive authority, as to move ahead regardless of whatever others may think we should be doing, is a kind of an elected dictatorship that we could learn to live with. Question is; who do you trust? and what amounts are you willing to pay? http://translate.google.com/# Brad Guth, Brad_Guth, Brad.Guth, BradGuth, BG / “Guth Usenet” |
