How to start a war

1. Define an enemy - an ideology is ideal.
2. Create an instance - the fuse to start a war.
3. Create intelligence - manufacture evidence
4. A lie told often enough becomes a truth.
5. No need to declare war - drones are good.

US record lowest temperatures

Record low temperature - is there global "warming"? Well, the prediction of the climate change is that we have large fluctuation of of temperatures. That's is exactly what is predicted.

What does doubling of Carbon Dioxide mean?

In the past 1.3 million years (the time when homo sapiens evolves), the Earth is in an ice age cycle with atmospheric CO₂ between 175 to 275 ppm. Human began industrialization and large scale burning of fossil fuel about 250 years ago. Since then, the atmospheric CO₂ has been increasing. We note that the increase in exponential, that means the increase is becoming faster and faster. If we take the current growth rate of 2.2%, the concentration will be double the pre-industrial value by 2050, only 36 years from now. As the current third countries improve the living standard and if they adopt the same lifestyle as the current people in developed countries, this 2.2% is a lower prediction of the rate of increase. That also means that we shall reach the doubling much earlier. Do people in the developed countries have the moral right to ask those in the poorer countries not to grow rich? Do people in the rich countries have the moral right to tell the poor that they cannot get rich by the ways that we have? Do people in the developed countries have the right to pollute but not the poor? If we want to live in peace, we need an equitable distribution of resources and opportunities. Poor people everywhere have the same right as the rich to live. In fact, unless we act, no one can live, at least in the same way as we are doing now.

Climate change could be far more serious than thought

Our climate scientists at University of New South Wales found an important factor in the climate model which did not reflect reality. The water vapour coming out from ocean and ground are not all going up to 15 km to form clouds which reflect sunlight. In fact, if this factor is adjust to reflect the tendency of water vapour going up to 5 km before they get condensed and fall back down as rain, there will be less cloud cover and hence less sunlight being reflected back to space. The over all conclusion is that a doubling of CO₂ concentration in the atmosphere will increase the global temperature by 3^oC instead of the previous number of 1.8^oC.

If our scientists are correct, which is very likely, we are creating a future unthinkable for our children and grandchildren.

2013 hottest year on record

2013 was the hottest year on record since 1910 in Australia. It is another evidence that global warming is real.



From UK, 2013 was the seventh hottest.



2012 was the hottest year on record in USA when data was released back in January 8, 2013. Last year (2013) for USA may also break USA records. WOW, that would be two years in a row.

Hurt and Pain are still deep in the hearts

Every time a Japanese Prime Minister or Minister visit the Yashukuni Shrine, the neighbouring countries will protest. Until Japan can take the lead of the Germans to acknowledge the damage and hurt to her neighbours populate done in WWII, the distrust will continue. In politics, trust is almost everything.

Top events in 2013

This is only my list:
1. Tony Abbots became our Prime Minister as a result of the internal conflicts in Labour making the Labour Party not electable.
2. The current Federal Cabinet has only two female ministers. What a shame!
3. Edward Snowden leaked the information that USA is spying EVERYONE. We all know that government spies on each other. The wholesale spying on everyone is really indicative of the coming collapse of USA government.
4. That USA demanded European countries to stop and search a Presidential plane and the fact that these countries obliged show a very unhealthy one-sided superpower dictating her will to everyone.
5. The shutdown of the USA Federal government due to the Congress's inability to solve the budget bill. That's a laughing stalk for the world! The political leaders in USA are just insane.
6. 2013 is one of the bloodiest year in Iraq since the USA invasion. Over 7000 people were killed.
7. Some good news now. Iran's nuclear programme and the use of chemical weapon in Syria were resolved diplomatically instead of using force. Unfortunately, that is where the good news ends. Syria remained in civil war and there is no sign of stopping.
8. USA drones strikes killing innocent civilians are still on-going.
9. Climate talk was still unsuccessful. When will leaders realize the implication of the climate?
10. Curiosity Rover by USA sent to Mars continued to work. China sent her first rover to Moon.

Overpopulated

For most of humanity, the human population is around 100 million. But our population exploded in the last 100 years to over 7 billion today. The population will continue to grow. But there is good news. The current average number of children per woman is 2.2 meaning that the human population will stable at around 11 billion. Can Earth support this many of us?
