All 200 million of them? Although that seems to be a conservative estimate, other estimates go up to a billion of displaced people by 2050. But I guess there is nothing to worry about, those will mostly be poor people in Bangladesh or some island states, it is not like we care about those. Oh, no, wait, seems London, New York, Tokyo and others will also be out of luck.

And, of course, the fact that potentially 15%-40% of all species will die out with only a moderate amount of warming is just an added bonus. I mean, that is not going to affect us, right?

The same is true for the upcoming Nokia E7 (which is very similar to the N8 anyway, apart from the added QWERTY keyboard).

Consider this. You only get one vote every few years, which is then supposed to show your support for every decision your elected representative makes. It would be much better if you could vote on all the major issues, such as major bills, decisions to start wars, etc. With a physical based voting system though, it would be all but impossible to do this as the amount of effort to collect votes is enormous [...]

This is called a direct democracy which is what we have in Switzerland and it is all counted by hand. Now, of course Switzerland only has approx. 7+ million people but AFAIK the sytem used to count the votes scales without problems. Each "county" (or whatever the translation is for the administrative units we have) counts their own votes and forwards them to some central location. Counting votes usually takes around 8 hours but already a few hours in there is normally already a clear tendency visible.
As an interesting (I think) sidenote, the people who count the votes are normal citizens selected by a random process.

Where the direct democracy is concerned, it has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that people really get to influence the politcal process (well, a cynic might call that a disadvantage) but believe me, the whole process is slow (which also stems from the fact that we have 4 major and several minor parties). On the other hand it is very stable.
Direct democracy in our case also means that the people can submit proposals for laws (called an initiative) by collecting 100'000 signatures (IIRC) which will then trigger a public vote.

Admittedly, the whole system is rather slow but it is stable, so on the whole I think it is worth it.

Oh, the direct democracy does not go all the way to the top: Our 7 ministers (the executive) are elected by the two chambers, not by the people (but I believe that is a good thing).
