Looks like the sound construction practices expected from military contracts has once again come to pass:FDLAn American military drone which had been used to monitor piracy off the East African coast has crashed at an airport on the island nation of Seychelles during a routine patrol, officials said.
The world is "too too big to fail" but the "Durban Platform" turned out to be a bailout of the developed countries by the developing countries . This brinkmanship of putting the world into a panic button mode and asking for binding agreement is akin to blackmail. The leadership of EU was commendable but the pressure was on the wrong party. India stood for a just principle but could not argue properly; India was not necessarily objecting to a legally binding treaty as was evident finally rather the Indian side was amenable to a treaty conditional upon inclusion of equity and CBDR into the roadmap but the way we articulated it or the western media portrayed it in such a manner that was unsavory, to say the least. Apart from that we did not do our homework to provide a credible alternative roadmap that could have deflected EU pressure and cornered US and its likes as the biggest obstacle to any agreement. The whole world is held hostage, on climate change, by the American right wing.

Posted on: Dec 13, 2011 at 06:59 IST People and industries talk about green, not knowing what it means to environment. Industries take full page advertisement on newspapers how they protect the environment. Three decades ago one paper company advertised on TV that they are "tree growing" company, not telling the viewers that they cut a very large number of trees for producing paper products. India should ban polyethelene bags as major corporations and cities burn them along with trash on their streets. Rivers are polluted with effluent from dyeing and tanning industries. India failed to develop infrastructure before producing millions two, three and four wheelers on the road. Idling cars produce more carbon than the industries. Agriculture lands were converted into industries and townships. States compete each other to bring in industries to provide jobs for their people, not realizing the farm sector is slowly vanishing. In a country of one billion plus people, farm labour is hard to find.

Posted on: Dec 13, 2011 at 18:23 ISTIf floating ice melts, the level of water falls. So if floating arctic
ice cap melts there will be no rise of sea level. If the ice on
Antarctica and Greenland melts, then humans can colonise Antarctica
and Greenland whether or not sea levels rise. Global warming by CO2 is
a fallacious theory by scientists requiring more funds for their
survival. Mr.Rajendra Pachauri, Chairperson of IPCC, admitted a
glaring mistake on Himalyan glaciers melting by 2035. Europe must
become vegetarian and stop hunting whales, if they are serious about
global warming. Ninety percent of Indians are vegetarian. The world
must stop using oil driven cars and start using electric cars. These
measures are more important than any binding contracts done to prevent
so-called climate change. Dubai has built islands in the ocean like
Palm tree project by using rocks and sand with help of European
companies, where celebrities are supposed to live. Don’t they
understand global warming ?

Posted on: Dec 14, 2011 at 01:00 IST India and China can't gang up together and expect the rest of the world to put up with their intransigence for much longer. This was amply evident at Durban when the AOSIS and LDC group of countries sided with the EU, which assumed a leadership role admirably. If we're not ready for a legally binding treaty/agreement yet, when will we ever be. Also Jairam Ramesh was no more flexible than Jayanthi Natarajan, and I mean this in a bad way. I remember Jairam Ramesh taking great pains to convey to the parliament that he wasn't going to agree to anything legally binding. This has always been the stance of the UPA govt. Clearly that has to change and India together with China have to yield before it's too late.

There are other 'elephants in the room'. Australians, for instance, are now faced with the realization that they have inflicted upon themselves a disincentive to trade which will drive away investment. This is unpopular enough in a time of economic recession : to do so while leaving the instigating nations at a competitive advantage is folly. Nor is the carbon credit business anything less than a way for polluters to evade modernization - and a scam to boot. Courts have prosecuted fraud starting in 2005 over trading in an illusion.
All this is predicated on the representation that there is a 'scientific concensus' on the 'science of climate change'. Yet this was so flawed that India found it necessary to set up its own studies of ice changes in the Himalayas...as moisture aloft and wind direction were ignored in the original IPCC / UN scaremongering !

The White Privilege Iceberg
Dafna Linzer's year-long ProPublica investigation into the factors surrounding supposedly color-blind presidential pardons from 1998 to 2008 is certainly one of the more important articles of the year. The bottom line is that white pardon seekers were four times more likely to be granted a pardon than blacks.
A recent critique of Gingrich’s inconsistencies is “so obviously about herself,” said Andy Ferguson, a senior editor at the Weekly Standard. “Her ( Huffington ) accusing him of opportunistic flip-flopping is like being called ugly by a frog.”
Holder Declares War on Vote Suppression
Mr. Holder also laid out a case for replacing the “antiquated” voter registration system by automatically registering all eligible voters; for barring state legislators from gerrymandering their own districts, and for creating a federal statute prohibiting the dissemination of fraudulent information to deceive people into not voting.
We now have a decade's worth of evidence that vote fraud, of the type that involves unregistered people voting or people voting multiple times, is so rare as to be inconsequential, while reports of voter suppression (almost all by Republicans) have over the same period been epidemic.

10 Ridiculous Things That Make You a Terror Suspect
you don’t need to actually commit a crime to be hauled away to a detention center and held without charges while you are tortured; you just need to appear suspicious by sympathizing with anti-government views to be labeled a domestic terrorist.
What exactly constitutes sympathizing with a terrorist? Is questioning the imperial foreign policy and the destruction of civil liberties, sympathizing with the enemy? In the U.S., it seems that if you don’t agree with the violence and coercion America commits, then you’re an anti-American terrorist sympathizer, as evidenced by peace organizations being added to terror watch lists.
