Representatives from about 200 countries are present in Copenhagen, Denmark for talks on climate change that are scheduled to start today.The summit, which is being called the 15th Conference of Parties, will center around discussions of a new international climate accord, and is the largest global meeting on the environment since the 1997 Kyoto Accords.
Climate change and the questionable effects of human-produced greenhouse gasses are both being investigated, as there is still wide spread skepticism about their effects on the planet. Recent controversies relating to these subjects promise to make a global agreement that much more difficult to reach.
Several thousand e-mails stolen from Climactic Research Unit (CRU) at the University at East Anglia in the United Kingdom have ignited even further debate on the validity of claims that the Earth’s climate is warming because of human action. These e-mails have been cited by those who question the availability of raw data and how easily research can be manipulated to point to global warming.

Save The Planet…EAT YOUR DOG!
The Dominion Post
The eco-pawprint of a pet dog is twice that of a 4.6-litre Land Cruiser driven 10,000 kilometres a year, researchers have found.Victoria University professors Brenda and Robert Vale, architects who specialise in sustainable living, say pet owners should swap cats and dogs for creatures they can eat, such as chickens or rabbits, in their provocative new book Time to Eat the Dog: The real guide to sustainable living.
The couple have assessed the carbon emissions created bypopular pets, taking into account the ingredients of pet food and the land needed to create them.
“If you have a German shepherd or similar-sized dog, for example, its impact every year is exactly the same as driving a large car around,” Brenda Vale said.
Take that environmentalists!
Food Aid At 20-Year Low
Something is wrong:
LONDON (Reuters) – Food aid is at a 20-year low despite the number of critically hungry people soaring this year to its highest level ever, the United Nations relief agency said Wednesday.
The number of hungry people will pass 1 billion this year for the first time, the U.N. World Food Program budget shortfall. (WFP) said, adding that it is facing a serious
To date the WFP has confirmed $2.6 billion in funding for its 2009 budget of $6.7 billion.
“This comes at a time of great vulnerability for the hungry,” the WFP said in a statement.
“Millions have been buffeted by the global financial downturn, their ability to buy food is limited by stubbornly high prices. In addition, unpredictable weather patterns are causing more weather-related hunger,” the WFP said.
CCTV Useless
This makes sense:
(BBC NEWS)
Only one crime was solved by each 1,000 CCTV cameras in London last year, a report into the city’s surveillance network has claimed.The internal police report found the million-plus cameras in London rarely help catch criminals.
In one month CCTV helped capture just eight out of 269 suspected robbers.
David Davis MP, the former shadow home secretary, said: “It should provoke a long overdue rethink on where the crime prevention budget is being spent.”
The Metropolitan Police has been extraordinarily slow to act to deal with the ineffectiveness of CCTV
David Davis MPHe added: “CCTV leads to massive expense and minimum effectiveness.
Loch Ness: Monster or Boat
Telegraph.co.uk
Earlier this week a British security guard claimed to have found the legendary creature using Google’s satellite mapping programme.The image, which can be seen by entering coordinates Latitude 57°12’52.13″N, Longitude 4°34’14.16″W in Google Earth, depicts a large object resembling a sea creature clearly visible beneath or on the surface of the water
Adrian Shine, a researcher on the Loch Ness project, called the new images “really intriguing” and said they deserved further study.
Following the report Google announced that its specially-altered trike camera – which is able to take eye-level images of areas that are inaccessible to Street View’s camera cars – would be sent to Loch Ness on Thursday.
But it has now been suggested that the images are not of the mysterious creature but of the Ness Express, a boat which regularly tours the loch.

Swine Flu Vaccination
From infowars.com
On July 13, a World Health Organization (WHO) Global Alert headlined, “WHO recommendations on pandemic (H1N1) 2009 vaccinations” suggest that universally mandated ones are coming. It stated that on July 7, the pharmaceutical industry-dominated Strategic Advisory Group of Experts (SAGE) on Immunization held an “extraordinary meeting in Geneva to discuss issues and make recommendations related to vaccine for the pandemic (H1N1) 2009.”
There’s no pandemic. Yet WHO said the virus “is considered unstoppable,” while admitting little evidence of spread so far, most cases are mild, and many people recover unaided. Nonetheless, all countries will need vaccines and should follow these priorities as initial supplies will be limited:
– immunize health care workers “to protect the essential health care infrastructure;” then
– pregnant women; children over six months of age “with one of several chronic medical conditions;” healthy young adults aged 15 – 49; healthy children; healthy adults aged 50 – 64; and finally healthy adults aged 65 or older.
So what of it?
It’s crucial to understand that these vaccines are experimental, untested, toxic and extremely dangerous to the human immune system. They contain squalene-based adjuvants that cause a host of annoying to life-threatening autoimmune diseases. They must be avoided, even if mandated. It’s also known that vaccines don’t protect against diseases they’re designed to prevent and often cause them. They should be banned but proliferate anyway because they’re so profitable, and if globally mandated to the greatest extent ever.
