Bali Bust

US, Japan, Canada accused of obstruction at climate conference... I hope all the other nations tell America, Canada and Japan to "piss off" and don't come back . I hope they ratify an agreement between themselves and totally exclude the countries didn't don't want in. I hope they call the treaty, "The Coalition of Countries That Care". Hopefully the participants will tax all imports from these countries, with the proceeds going to further fund reduction of their own Carbon emissions.... This is, after all, about trade and who will be at a disadvantage. The stakes are pretty high, lets see who can hold out the longest without any commitments. They can be proud of themselves..... but no one else will be.

Some things are just plain wrong Dept. Japan is planning to kill 935 minke whales, 50 fin whales and, for the first time in 40 years, 50 humpback whales this summer season under its so-called research program. That seems like an awful lot of "research" to me.
