Lloyd's of London, and a group of Insurance companie's, sent a letter to Washington. It stated as quote ( Unless we deal with Global Warming Now... Be prepared too lose a city a year, from Abrupt Climate Event's. Expert's state, that the 2006 U.S. Hurricane season, will be 60% above normal. The cat 5 Cyclone, that just hit Australia reinforce's their quote. Plan's are, to upgrade, another one of last year's Hurricane's, to cat 5 status. That make's, 4 cat 5 Hurricane's last year. Unprecedented in our history , and this is just the beginning! Last Week, Texas was engulfed in fire's, due to drought. This week, they are under water from flood's. Their's a pattern forming, of Abrupt Climate Change, that can turn in a second. Our normal Temp climate is gone, being replaced with a violent retribution of our stupidity. Thinking that the Earth, was our personal playground, of our choice. We have poked the Beast, with a stick, for Decade's. Now it's fighting back ! Mass extinction's... have happened before. Scientist's did'nt know why, i think we know now, Abrupt Climate Change. Are we next..........

Another Cyclone, is taking the same track as Cat 5 Larry did. Heading for Australia again ! Maybe now, Australia will take , a serious look at the Kyoto Treaty... maybe!

I posted this reply to another topic as well, but it seems to suit this one more.


I personally believe we are doomed. It’s gone too far and the momentum (economic, political, social, cultural, etc.) is just too great to overcome. The required investment is going to be huge – and by the time everyone is scared enough to want to spend/do it, the impact will be simply too devastating (the urge to continually ignore it too seductive). This is happening now. More people are becoming aware – but the number-crunchers representing the economic/social perspective are cranking out data just as fast as those from the greenhouse/environmental side. And here’s the real kicker – they’re both right!


Some may criticize China and India with their energy-hungry, hyper-expanding economies, but I do not believe they should not be cast in such a negative light. Both are looking for more climate friendly alternatives – actively pursuing, for example, huge increases in Nuclear Power infrastructure. I believe the two worst examples on the planet today are the US (yes, we are the largest producer of these nasty gases from the nation/state perspective and we all know this) and Australia (chock-a-block full of uranium and hands-down the ‘new middle east’ of any nuclear based economy) – is currently the largest greenhouse gas producer per-capita in the developed world. China and India were exempt from Kyoto – but look at what they are doing. America and Australia refused to sign and… well need I say it?


Where is the leadership? Whose is a society of action? Who is dealing with this problem in an objective or even semi-proactive way?


Representatives of the US department of Energy are – right now, today – begging congress and the President to get the USA back in the game. To put us back up front!


But I don’t think we’ve got it in us any more. It’s just too big, too much, and with a horizon that is simply too hazy and distant. Sadly, the US – being what and who we are looks to be the decider once again. If we are not part of the solution, we will be part of the problem, the biggest part – and that is why I believe we are doomed.


Devastating hurricanes and 100+ tornadoes in the US, horrific mud slides in the Philippines, snow-laden roofs giving way all over Europe, record setting drought and starvation in Africa, more incredibly fierce hurricanes in the Pacific – it would appear Mother-Nature is getting upset (a predicted symptom of global warming). And hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

The UK government's chief scientist, Professor King is warning that climate change puts 400 million more people at risk of hunger (see BBC news). This is a good reason to sign the petition , "Subverting Efforts to Limit Human-Induced Climate Change is a Crime Against Humanity" found at http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/626805650

I don't think the world realises how much trouble Earth is really in. Within a hundred years the planet will be doomed. No-one is taking any action! we dont need nuclear power, we dont need all this pollution, what we need to focus on is preserving the environment.
