POPSRunning away - CLIMATE CHANGE: Arctic Shelf Leaking Potent Greenhouse Gas The tar sands oil mining and giant hydro dams in Canada are making what is obviously a very dangerous situation for the whole world very, very much worse.

POPSChinese economy records fastest growth since financial crisis erupted All those bank loans for building unnecessary real estate and factories. The game is liable to switch from bank stimulous to bank bailouts, once the bubble bursts.

Why are economic policy makers, whatever their nationality, so stupid?

POPSArctic permafrost leaking methane at record levels, figures show Of course, Canada Tar Sands oil mines have been pouring huge amounts of C02 right into the heart of the Arctic for decades, and the criminal Canadian goverment plans to increase production (therefore emissions) without any meaningful controls. And the US has approved the building of a new pipeline over the melting tundra. Canadian governments, both Federal and Provincial, should be held accountable by the rest of the world for the consequences.

POPS Who says it's green to burn woodchips? Almuth Ernsting from Biofuelwatch said: "It's almost unbelievable that we're creating vast areas of monoculture, mile after mile, just to be cut down as fast as they grow, to be shipped thousands of miles to be burned just for people's electricity. It just doesn't make sense. What about all the habitat that gets destroyed along the way?" Arrrghhh!!!! Please pass on ... retweet ... whatever. Somewhere I line must be drawn. See how woodlands can support multiple livings, and how complex they really are... www.worldwidewood.wordpress.com.
