150 heads of state all gathered to discuss global warming, that sounds OK until you wonder how they all got there, by air, gas guzzling cars, entourage included. Couldn't they just use Skype?

We may be able to save on heating bills as the temperature rises by a few degrees, but air conditioning to cool a building by the same amount takes around twice as much power, and then dumps all the heat outside, adding to the problem.

This was three years ago... Cyclone Pam devastated Vanuatu this year and caused damage to other Pacific nations. They are obviously becoming more vulnerable with rising sea levels to tsunamis.http://www.theguardian.com/world/tuvalu

When it really kicks in, and lots of evidence that it is kicking in already a lot of people will have to move out of affected areas FAST.And these are BIG areas.LOTS of people on the move.Hopefully what happens next isn't as predictable as I expect it to be.

What about the Pacific nations whose countries are disappearing beneath the waves? Salt water is seeping into their wells and ruining their crops. They are small countries and a long way away.Look on the map and find Tuvalu, Kiribati and the Marshall Islands.

There is only one religion committed to world domination which is the threat.

Islamification by the back door.
The media bombard us with man made global warming. So schoolchildren may now be worried.by climate change just as my generation worried about nuclear war. So what are your major concerns for future generations?
Perhaps it is just a lot of hot air!

If they used Skype they wouldn't be able to have all those other meetings out of sight of the media. They don't all meet up that often. Face to face is usually more secure unless they're all bugging each other. Which they probably are.
