The Infowarrior

Its psuedo science that Co2 is responsible for global warming, a fact corroborated by any scientist worth their salt (ie ones that are not on government related jobs) it is an effect of global warming not the cause.

The cause has long been known to be Solar Activity, a fact known and long concealed by the global warming activist extremists like Al Gore.

As the Copenhagen talks approach, however, voices from the Pacific are becoming louder.  A group of highly climate-vulnerable island nations have banded together as the <A target="_blank" href="http://www.sidsnet.org/aosis/">Alliance of Small Island States</A> (AOSIS) to call for greater action on global warming. AOSIS has a membership of 43 states and observers drawn from all oceans and regions of the world. Accounting for over 20 per cent of the UN General Assembly membership, these small island developing states (SIDS) hope to amplify their diplomatic role on the international stage.

"Never before in all history has the disappearance of whole nations been such a real possibility. Palau and the members of the Pacific Islands Forum are deeply concerned about the growing threat which climate change poses not only to our sustainable development, but in fact, to our future survival. This is a security matter which has gone unaddressed."
