Climate Change/Global Warming politics

Climate Change/Global Warming politics is simple.. if the highest emitters (per capita & of historic footprint) dont act and compensate (mostly developed nations), the lowest emitters (mostly developing nations) have the right to raise the living standards of their people cheaply, as most of the highest emitters did in the past.

Then highest emitters have to keep quite (no preaching) and lowest emitters (per capita and historic footprint) of populous countries of China and India will get the license to emit more.

In the past we could have "told" China or India to "stop" emitting. But not any more.

Only incentive for China or India to focus on global warming could be the "green" economy that may develop in the developed nations. China and India wont like to "miss that bus" (They already missed industrial revolution). If that's to happen, developed nations (who are indeed biggest emitters) should turn to "green" economies. That is, we need ETS or something similar.

Dancing with the Chinese!

The other day I had beautiful trip with Lili and Gourav. We had some good moments of sharing and dance!

Dancing with the CHINESE!

I think its high time to dance with the Chinese. Both India and Chinese are great civilizations and geographical neighbours. They both are poised to become the first and the third largest economies in the world within the next 25 years.

There might have some misunderstandings in the past - some border issues! But it is not unresolvable. Both India and China should have the maturity and wisdom to solve it amicably in the wider interests of both countries.

After all, what's the point in having mistrust between two world players of the upcoming world when they have to live very next to each other?

As somebody said, "the best way to eliminate your enemy is to make him/her your friend!"

Lily (she is actually "Yao") agreed with us completely. She is a lovely gal (all the Chinese guys I met here are beautiful... I don't understand why WE didn't understand them early) . If the yellow and the brown are united, there's more chances of hope and prosperity in the world (at least in 'their part of the world'.. hi hi).

I've started to learn Chinese.

Zai Chian (bye bye)

Haneef and the rift between The Age and The Herald Sun

go to HOME

Haneef's case is becoming more n more interesting (?).

Herald Sun (It is published by The Herald and Weekly Times Ltd (HWT), a subsidiary of News Limited and owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation. ) today reported that AFP has got evidences to prove that Haneef was plotting a terror attack on Australian targets. They quoted that the news were reported by some anonymous sources!


The Age (The Fairfax group) was blank about that news.

That means, The Age didn't get it! Later by the noon, I read in my mobile news from Fairfax that they acknowledge the fax that such a news has been reported by News Corporation.

Now the suspicion grows... the Haneef's lawyer denounces the allegations and ask AFP to respond to the new allegations. In an unprecedented move AFP publishes a statement by the evening saying that those allegations are baseless!

What happened to Herald Sun - the highest circulating newspaper in Australia?

Answer is simple.

If my observation is correct, Herald Sun is for Howard and The Age is for the Labor (at least for this election).

I shared it with my community few months back, when the opinion polls about the next Federal elections started to appear in the newspapers. It was always in favor of Labor, in both the papers. But the first attempt to show that Howard slicing the lead of Labor was presented by Herald Sun soon after the labor allegations about Mrs Rudd broke out, before couple of months. The enthusiasm of Herald Sun was so evident that it lead to the suspect the motives of Herald Sun. (later on, after few weeks, the suggested comeback of Howard was again reversed by The Age survey!)

Now, its clear. Howard has some kind of understandings with Murdock.

Murdock was trying to save Howard from the fallout of this case by creating a new allegation from an anonymous source. But it's too far to be expected from a responsible newspaper. After all, Herald Sun is a tabloid!
