AW: [ RadSafe ] Borderless World? Nuclear Power vs Politician Power

Sat Feb 3 15:54:18 CST 2007

RADSAFERs, Howard Long being just one of several thousands,

Anybody out there who could enlighten me what the content of this mail is?
Howard Longs comment on the "borderless world", but especially the comments
about France and about "same UN politicians who gave Chirac's friends money
to protect Saddam, while he slaughtered 100/day for 20+ years?" is
ridiculous, annoying and even more a nonsense than his ideas on radiation
impact, hormesis and additional irradiation of people and schoolchildren to
make them healthy. 

These political agenda are without the slightest doubt not a topic of
RADSAFE. This is not the first time Howard Long has gone into politics,
sending propaganda and political slogans about US politics. He should be
more than careful to send unacceptable comments on things he does not
understand like European politics. Probably just a wish, because he posts
all the time comments about radiation protection, of which he does not
understand anything. 

I doubt that he really is a family doctor, but if he was I personally would
never consult him.  

Best regards,

Franz

Betreff: [ RadSafe ] Borderless World? Nuclear Power vs Politician Power

Could the below "police" of a "borderless world"  reduce the CO2 (which
France hasn't yet), much less the global temperature (about 1 degree if all
human CO2 were stopped) much less the sea level (unchanged by satellite
measure)? Would it be run by the same UN politicians who gave Chirac's
friends money to protect Saddam, while he slaughtered 100/day for 20+ years?

  Deregulating - allowing two thousand or more nuclear power plants
worldwide -  would lower the CO2 far more, create prosperity from cheap
power and reduce oil supply blackmail -  
  but it would also lessen the power of politicians. And that power is the
purpose of the global warming scam, I believe. Read State of Fear
(Crichton).

  Can anyone find in the report below a reference to the ONLY practical CO2
reduction measure, the substitution of nuclear power for carbon combustion
energy? Could carbon tax for Chirac et al be the reason?

  "U.S. economist Jeremy Rifkin urged governments, businesses and activists
to work together to create a "post-carbon" era.
  "Climate change is going to be more responsible for bringing about a
borderless world than free trade," Rifkin said."

        Warming Report Builds Support for Action 

  By ANGELA CHARLTON, Associated Press Writer 2/3/07

  PARIS - Fear of runaway global warming pushed 46 countries to line up
Saturday behind France's appeal for a new environmental body that could
single out — and perhaps police — nations that abuse the Earth. 

  "It is our responsibility.  The world demands it".
  President Jacques Chirac said in an appeal to put the environment at the
top of the world's agenda.
  He spoke at a conference a day after the release in Paris of a grim report
from the world's leading climate scientists and government officials that
said global warming is so severe that it will "continue for centuries" and
that humans are to blame.
  The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's report sparked calls for
fast, planet-wide action and was embraced by Europeans. A total of 46
countries agreed to pursue plans for the new organization, and to hold their
first meeting in Morocco this spring.
  But key world polluters — including the United States, China, India and
Russia — steered clear.
  Without naming the United States directly, Chirac expressed frustration
that "some large countries, large rich countries, still must be convinced."
They are "refusing to accept the consequences of their acts," he said.
  Chirac, 74, is seeking to leave his mark on international affairs before
he leaves office, likely in May, though his environmental record over 12
years as France's president is spotty.
  Former Vice President   Al Gore, whose documentary on the perils of global
warming has garnered worldwide attention, cheered Chirac's efforts.
  "We are at a tipping point," Gore said in recorded remarks shown at the
conference. Friday's report was "yet another warning about the dangers we
face. We must act, and act swiftly. ... Such action requires international
cooperation."
  Many questions remain about the proposed environment body, including
whether it would have the power to enforce global climate accords.
  Chirac's appeal says only that the body should "evaluate ecological
damage" and "support the implementation of environmental decisions."
  Many countries have failed to meet targets for cutting greenhouse gas
emissions laid out in the 1997 Kyoto Protocol. The United States has never
ratified the pact.
  In a published interview earlier this week, Chirac warned that the United
States could face a carbon tax on its exports if it does not sign global
climate accords.
  "We have 700 multilateral environmental agreements, and none of them seem
to work. Environmental institutions are extremely weak," said Cristian
Maquieira, a Chilean government environment official, said,
  Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Denisov said creating a new
environment organization would require too much time and money. Instead, he
urged expanding the powers of the existing U.N. Environment Program.
  Several participants called for taxing actions that hurt the environment,
or labeling products according to how ecologically clean they are.
  U.S. economist Jeremy Rifkin urged governments, businesses and activists
to work together to create a "post-carbon" era.

  "Climate change is going to be more responsible for bringing about a
borderless world than free trade," Rifkin said.
