Light the barbecue and drown a Bangladeshi, parch an Ethiopian, and starve a New Guinean.
Kate Raworth of Oxfam International recently authored a 34-page report that began:
“In failing to tackle climate change with urgency, rich countries are effectively violating the human rights of millions of the world’s poorest people.“
[…]
creating floods, droughts, hurricanes, sea-level rise, and seasonal unpredictability. The result is failed harvests, disappearing islands, destroyed homes, water scarcity, and deepening health crises, which are undermining millions of peoples’ rights to life, security, food, water, health, shelter, and culture.
I’d say “cry me a river”, but that’d just contribute to rising sea levels. I[‘m sure that famine, flood, and all manner of nature caused sorrow were with us long before Al Gore invented the internet … and AGW.
This could be fun … “Rob a Limo-Liberal … save an island!”

Oh an afterthought, as far as it being “chilling” that I can actually vote. Well Owen, I can vote, think, and make up my own mind about what I see happening out there, I want less government, tougher sentencing for violent criminals,no green taxes, immigration brought under control,the gun control registry shut down and that is exactly what I am going to get from Stephen Harper’s Conservative Government who are well on the way to a majority.
