Right – every home should have

1. a wind turbine (producing next to nothing if even functional after a few months (days) also anything decent is expensive and few places (residential) have the wind for it

2. a few solar panels – probably the same as number 1 – again a space and insolation problem

3. a garden – most people couldn't garden if they had to and probably don't have a space

4. turn off the telly etc and refind community – while searching for your cave?

Ain't gonna happen – better come up with a plan B

Its time for us all to grow up! the current population is just not sustainable, especially in 1st world countries, people consume. We need a program to get renewable energy as a domestic standard, every home should have a wind turbine, a couple of solar panels and a decent garden. We must do more for ourselves and put the telly off and get rid of the Xbox, get fit, eat well and refind community. The alternative is just too horrible to imagine.

Makes the brouhaha over the number of swine flu cases seem pretty silly, doesn’t it?

This is a truly groundbreaking report: in fact, it's the first publication to pretend that there is any real basis for making a causal connection between climate change and death by disaster. All of the previous studies on the subject, as reported by the IPCC itself, conclude that there is absolutely no way to statistically separate socio-economic factors from any hypothetical global warming effects where disaster deaths are concerned.

Yes, they've taken us to uncharted waters where any PR firm can make a slick video showing starving children and hurricanes in order to prop up new policies where $Billions will be sent from "us" to "them".

Don't worry about the science behind the study–there is none. But that doesn't matter where collective guilt and rent seeking are causally connected.

absolutely correct… the UN wants money and as a generally communistic or socialistic organization, it wants to transfer wealth from successful countries to unsuccessful countries, no matter what the actual reasons are for the failures of the unsuccessful countries.

it doesn't matter if lack of natural resources or lack of rule of law or lack of property rights or lack of freedoms is the reason… they have the "cure."

follow the money.

i cant believe how low some will go to make money. the idea of global warming what ever the word for it for today if you read history there have been floods drought and storms for the entire human history some killed tens of thousands if not millions and i find it low that some are trying to make money by this lie if they really wanted to save lives they would get off there butts and stop genocide and war but they would not make any money doing that
