POPSObama, Maurice Strong, Al Gore Key Players Cashing In On Chicago Climate Exchange
The nondescript Strong, nonetheless is the big cheese in the underworld of climate change and is one of the main architects of the failing Kyoto Protocol. Full credit for the expose on the business partnership of Strong and Gore in the cap-and-trade reduction scheme should go to the investigative acumen of the Executive Intelligence Review (EIR). The tawdry tale of the top two global warming gurus in the business world goes all the way back to Earth Day, April 17, 1995 when the future author of “An Inconvenient Truth” travelled to Fall River, Massachusetts, to deliver a green sermon at the headquarters of Molten Metal Technology Inc. (MMTI). MMTI was a firm that proclaimed to have invented a process for recycling metals from waste. Gore praised the Molten Metal firm as a pioneer in the kind of innovative technology that can save the environment, and make money for investors at the same time. “Gore left a few facts out of his speech that day,” wrote EIR.

POPSAmerican Beef Got to be Imported No Matter Which Political Party (Nationalists or DPP) is in Power.
http://blog.udn.com/NorthAmerica/3445269 從這些找的到的資料看來,台灣必須在WTO的架構下和美國談判牛肉進口事宜。 如果台灣要拒絕特定牛內臟,必須能拿的出科學證據以及研究報告,不然可能被WTO認為設下貿易壁壘。 今天美國不來扣關,明天加拿大(另一個危險控制中的國家)也可能來向WTO訴諸仲裁。 到時候不是被裁定必須開放牛肉進口,就是台灣必須退出WTO。 對於依靠輸出的台灣來說,離開WTO恐怕就是末日的到來。 政府基於對WTO的承諾,不能不開放美國牛肉及內臟進口,但是只要民眾不吃牛內臟或甚至美國牛肉,就沒有商人會進口這些國人有疑慮的產品。 網路上有人建議政府每個月公布商人或個人進口美國牛內臟的數量和日期資料,我相信這樣一來沒有人有興趣做這筆生意。 附件 : 1.

POPSLand Use Comparison - Solar Panels vs Feeding Pets I was quite amazed by this at first. Yet, when I thought about a bit longer, it did not particularly surprise me. It is just another one of those things that sits right under our noses, that we miss. "Can't see the forest through the trees" type of thing.

POPSFood Critic Murders Baboon: Needed Fodder for His Column?! While admitting there was no good excuse for his action, he nonetheless tries to explain: "I noticed that, when it was alive, I thought about the baboon as a thing. Now he’s dead, I’m posthumously anthropomorphising him, and that was one of the reasons I killed. I wanted to get a sense of what it might be like to kill someone, a stranger." Stop. Breathe. I note my first reaction: Excruciating execution for this guy, preferably slowly bleeding to death in front of his buddies, sounds like a good idea. Exhale. Pause. Next reaction: What the heck was he thinking? What sick person would find it perfectly acceptable to write about his urge to explore killing primates in a food column? Is he so disengaged from life and his place in it that he thinks this is witty? Educational? Cool?
