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?

Wishing You a Peaceful 2014

Nuclear Energy

Japan is a relatively technologically advanced society. A Tsunami could have caused their Fukushima reactors to melt illustrated the inherent instability of these reactors and the danger they pose to humanity. Here is a story from RT which focuses on the sickness suffered by the first responders.

How many countries' leaders are able to mingle with common citizens?

The Chinese President Xi Jinping was able to eat in a local restaurant without heavy security. Can USA president do that?

Early summary of the world in 2013

Voting in the USA Senate

The USA parliament looks like a diseased brain, with no neural connectivity between the two halves of the brain
