COP15
One for the road:
Regardless of how you feel about gun laws you have to love this! Major General Peter Cosgrove’s reply to a lady who interviewed him concerning guns and children. This is one of the best comeback lines of all time.
COP15
Yeah, he also won the Nobel Peace Prize.
Irena Sendler

Makes me wonder about the Nobel Committee.

Ooh, I can see you already posted a clip on “Fall of the Republic”
COP15
Hey Karl,
I can see one misspelling bureaucracy. Maybe on the spelling you were relating it to a word like “beauty” which has a similar pronunciation on the first syllable.
COP15
Damn! my link for scientific debate on climate change didn’t work right, there were supposed to be a plalist with 4 other parts, but instead it linked to just the first video in the series. Well if anybody actually clicks on it and they find it interesting to view, go to the user’s YT homepage and they’ll be there in order. On the page where my link goes too the other videos are all scrambled around in the related column with a lot of others.

Hey Marina, yes, global warming is a topic of intense debate from all sides. I’m looking forward to your upcoming lesson on the origins of the words mentioned in this video.
Documentary on YT: Scientific Debate on Climate Change.
As far as the Copenhagen Treaty or COP15 in Copenhagen, Denmark, I have this feeling that maybe there’s an ulterior motive besides the topic of Climate Change.
UNFCCC (COP15) Overview Schedule
The one for the Fifth Session of the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol (CMP5) [ Please tell me that isn't a meeting about a meeting!]
Looking at the schedule, the only items on the agenda that appear to be set are the two-hour lunch breaks. You’d think that for such an important conference the fullschedule would have been agreed on months ago. Could it be that they’ve got no idea what to do? Surely not.
When you look at this stuff it is no wonder so many people are skeptical about climate change. I mean seriously, climate change is so important that after so many meetings the dopes at the United Nations and in government have achieved not one single identifiable outcome. Not one. Name me one thing it’s done of any use.
The same thing is likely to happen in Copenhagen. Lots of talking (Hope they have a lot of interpreters there), plenty of photo opps, serious faces rested on hands and lots of windmill impressions. Hasn’t anyone learned that the longer that governments remain in control of climate change, nothing will be achieved.
I’m probably ignorant on the science of climate change, which I can honestly say puts me in the majority. Even the greenies who support climate change policies have almost no real knowledge on the subject. When they’re pushed to come up with the facts, the best they can offer is “something’s just got to be done, it’s obvious right?”
No, it’s not obvious actually. Call me cynical if you like, but I’m pretty certain there will be one of two outcomes at the Copenhagen Conference. Either they will resolve to have another meeting on the subject, (for now) I think that’s the most likely scenario given their past record. Or, citizens of the world will be slugged with a massive tax bill that will achieve almost nothing from a climate change perspective except increase the amount of money governments will rip from their taxpayers.
Look, you may think I’m being flip about this. And maybe I am, but the facts speak for themselves. Whenever government is involved in anything, it lengthens the process of getting something done. You only have to look at a local level to see that. For example, how long does it take a local council to approve a building permit? Without council interference and corruption the work could start almost immediately. How often do you hear State governments saying they are going to ‘fasttrack’ something? They only have to do that because it was their impossible red tape that held things up in the first place. And how many Senate enquiries or House of Representative enquiries, does it take to change a lightbulb? Anyway, I hope I’m making a point. If governments really were serious about doing something on climate change all they would need to do is get out of the way. It’s quite simple. But it’ll never happen. Politicians have the need to be in the way. Being in the way of things means they have power and control.
Wiil they listen to the common people, is this a move to a one world government? NWO according to consiracy theorists which I must say you can’t dismiss all of their theories.
