Our prime minister loves to tell EU leaders to get thier “House in order”, while at the same time making public cuts that come close to those carried out during WW2…?

Don’t be fooled, for example, the US has the highest “External Debt” of any country on earth, followed by th UK, just take a look at this very smart calculator: http://www.indexmundi.com/g/r.aspx?t=20&v=94&l=en

This shows top 20 “External Debters” and you can check all kinds of stats, one I find really interesting is this: http://www.indexmundi.com/g/r.aspx?t=20&v=89&l=en

The Uk and US in top 10 there, mmmm…

Let’s not mix up Public Debt with the above External Debt, it seems that the more public services become privately owned the higher the “External Debt” and where services are “Publicly Owned” then the Public debt goes up, hence the rush to “Privatise” in countries with large public debt.

Basically it just moving the goal posts and passing the debt onto us.

What do you think?

Also, have you noticed how politicians nowerdays can’t take any action for public good if it will “Damage the Economy”, since when were politicians bankers?? (that’s another story).

Anyway, comments if you will…

Thanks.

It’s crazy, but right now, our governments
give nearly $1 trillion a year of our taxpayer
money to Big Oil and Coal to destroy our
planet. Key leaders, including President
Obama who is hosting the G8, have already
agreed to stop these polluter payments.
Now, if we demand they act on their word
and divert this huge sum into renewable
energy, experts say we could actually
save our planet!

It’s a simple no-brainer that our leaders have already agreed to. Let’s hold their feet to the fire, and push President Obama to lead the world’s largest economies to turn these polluting subsidies green. Sign the urgent petition below and forward this to everyone — a massive campaign now can force them from talk to action:

The Living Planet Report combines data on more than 9,000 populations of animals across the world.

Environmentalists say World  Leaders must urgently step up nature protection, therfore at the Rio+20 is there a chance for world leaders to put global society on a sustainable path?

Maybe they have no interest in doing this? What do you think?

Until American people accept their part in the cultural genocide
of first nation people, highest suicide and mortality in America,
we the people are not free but bound by our past.

Please help heal the American wound – sign and share this petition
to finally bring Leonard home to his family.

Thank you.

Leonard’s speaks to all of us as a man who took action to protect his family
and defend his people against an oppressor who has not only brought about
their cultural genocide but whose actions have eroded freedom and liberty worldwide.

SOPA and PIPA represent two bills in the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate respectively. SOPA is short for the “Stop Online Piracy Act,” and PIPA is an acronym for the “Protect IP Act.” (“IP” stands for “intellectual property.”) In short, these bills are efforts to stop copyright infringement committed by foreign web sites, but, in our opinion, they do so in a way that actually infringes free expression while harming the Internet. Detailed information about these bills can be found in the Stop Online Piracy Act and PROTECT IP Act articles on Wikipedia, which are available during the blackout. GovTrack lets you follow both bills through the legislative process: SOPA on this page, and PIPA on this one. The EFF has summarized why these bills are simply unacceptable in a world that values an open, secure, and free Internet.

Why is this happening?

Wikipedians have chosen to black out the English Wikipedia for the first time ever, because we are concerned that SOPA and PIPA will severely inhibit people’s access to online information. This is not a problem that will solely affect people in the United States: it will affect everyone around the world.

Why? SOPA and PIPA are badly drafted legislation that won’t be effective in their main goal (to stop copyright infringement), and will cause serious damage to the free and open Internet. They put the burden on website owners to police user-contributed material and call for the unnecessary blocking of entire sites. Small sites won’t have sufficient resources to defend themselves. Big media companies may seek to cut off funding sources for their foreign competitors, even if copyright isn’t being infringed. Foreign sites will be blacklisted, which means they won’t show up in major search engines. And, SOPA and PIPA build a framework for future restrictions and suppression.

Each of these little pieces of debris whizzes around in its own orbit at a speed of about 6 miles a second — more than six times faster than a speeding bullet. The kinetic energy at that speed is about 36 times that of an equivalent mass of TNT.

The Low Earth Orbit, where the space station and the Iridium satellite band operate, is the crowded part of space. By the 1990s, scientists at NASA realized that man-made environmental hazards in that shell already exceeded meteoroid hazards. They gave the space station a shield to protect it from collisions with these marble-sized missiles.

The prediction of a major collision came true in February 2009 when a defunct Russian Cosmos satellite collided with a working American Iridium satellite at about 500 miles up. That incident created 1.5 tons of shrapnel. These include approximately 100,000 fragments of 1 millimeter or greater, which are large enough to be dangerous, and about 2,000 that are at least baseball size. Each is whizzing around at six miles a second, or 21,600 miles a hour.

Two years in preparation, The Energy Report presents a provocative scenario, set in 2050, of a world run entirely on renewable energy.

The ground-breaking report is presented in two distinct parts:

WWF’s ground-breaking energy study - The Energy Report - shows that this future is within our reach, and provides a vital insight into how it can be achieved.

Check it out HERE: The Energy Report

What do you think to this? I think it’s great idea for a book?  “Draw Water and Other Things” a super interactive art work-book for young children.

This delightful work-book is helping kids improve their drawing skills easily – written and published by Linda Samuels, one of Green ISP´s valued customers.
