In 2010? Where do you think we should be looking for trouble brewing?

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

A new Enviroment/Climate poll has been created.

For two decades a lot of chin-wagging has gone on about man-made “climate change”. A lot of carbon has been introduced to the atmosphere by private jets going to and fro from these meetings; rainforests have been chopped down to print all of the “agreements” etc. What is trying to be accomplished is for developed countries (excluding China and India of course) to pay your tax dollars to developing countries to curb their carbon emissions.

A new Politics/Elections poll has been created.

OK, this one of course depends how old you are, but for the sake of broad demographics, we’re providing options from the sixties to the present, just those who’ve held offices of country leadership, with the exception of Martin Luther King, who (in our opinion) seems to fit on the list. Who would get your vote?

Carbon Trading – real climate solution?

Saturday, December 12th, 2009

A new Enviroment/Climate poll has been created.

Carbon Trading (also known as emission trading,cap and trade, or cap and tax) is an administrative approach used to control pollution by providing economic incentives for achieving reductions in the emissions of pollutants. Many critics say it not a real solution, as it allows ’sanctioned’ pollution levels and has to much government control. What do you think?
