| Garnaut confirms need for strong, early action
Sir Nicholas Stern re-shaped the way economists thought about climate change when he delivered his groundbreaking report in 2006. The Stern Review found the global impacts of climate change where far higher than the cost of reducing emissions. The study currently being conducted by veteran Australian economist Ross Garnaut has been called by some 'the Australian Stern Review'. Professor Garnaut's interim report says Australia has an "exceptional sensitivity to climate change" and warns we will be "possibly the biggest loser amongst developed countries" if we fail to rein in emissions. Just as Stern rang the alarm bells for the world, Garnaut has sounded a siren for Australia. Professor Garnaut also turned another piece of conventional wisdom on its head.
Clinton under pressure to quit
We have to have a positive campaign after Tuesday," Gov Richardson, who abandoned his own White House bid in January, said on CBS News. "Whoever has the most delegates after Tuesday, a clear lead, should be in my judgment the nominee." The latest count of nominating delegates by website RealClearPolitics shows Senator Obama leading by 1389 to Senator Clinton's 1279, with the freshman senator pulling into the lead after 11 nominating wins in a row. A total of 2025 delegates is needed for victory at the Democrats' August nominating convention in Denver. Tuesday's votes look unlikely to change that picture much, given that Democratic primaries award delegates on a proportional basis. A new poll by Ohio's Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper found Senator Clinton slightly ahead in the economically struggling state, by 47-43 per cent.
Your Comments : Let's do it, Chaudhry tells Bainimarama
Franky has finally told the People of the Nation what his Treasonous plans were all along. He Conned you! Buck Naked Lies, all of them! He has planned this Treasonous Thuggery for years! This Common Thugg has decided to destroy every Fijian Institution and re-make the whole nation according to His Third World Gangster Fantasy. (“What does the President say?") He and Chaundry the Cheat, have used the People of the Nation, Both Indo and Indigenous, to further this Criminal Dream by Promising them Reconciliation and an end to Corruption and Nepotism. Yet the TRUTH has become apparent over the last few days, as I said it would! By his “own admissions" he has Lied about the reason for This Failed Coup. This Treason was never about a So-Called Clean Up, It was about Franky the Thugg and Chaundry the Cheat saving themselves from Prison for Murder, Corruption and Nepotism! Now with Overwhelming Evidence of Chaundries Corruption, becoming public, Franky the Thuggs Says “He will not do anything about it"? Hypocrite Thugg! He Stole/Self- Appointed the GCC Chairmanship based upon an Illegal and Immoral Thugg Decree?He is a Common Thief! Finally he says that, “He has no opposition because he is unelected." And that he will do what HE wants because he has the Traitor Army backing him up against their own people! This is an Admission of His Thuggery and Arrogant Corruption! Hey Franky, the “Thugg of Fiji", I have a Newsflash for you Waiter Boy! The People of the nation have awakened to see you for the Common Criminal Thugg that you have revealed yourself to be! They are your Opposition Thugg, and so is Jonny Democracy.
Texas Democratic Presidential Primary: Clinton And Obama’s Dueling ...
On the one hand it's amazing that the first serious female candidate is playing a strong, decisive military card, on the other hand you wonder how voters will react to the closing image of a woman taking the call at 3 am. If there are any sexist stereotypes lurking out there in Texas, this will draw them to the surface. MY REACTION: I don't react as strongly against this ad as some do (and as an independent voter I react very strongly against negative campaigning). Perhaps it's because I was in the 8th grade watching TV when I saw the infamous LBJ ad that only aired once LIVE. That ad did shake me up and made me fear Barry Goldwater (I had only started becoming a political junkie and had not yet done extensive research.). This one is more polite, more subtle and it can be argued simply expands on Clinton's constantly-repeated experience theme.
Nobel Laureate Estimates Wars’ Cost at More Than $3 Trillion
These people have let paranoia and fear cloud their better judgement, and now act against even their own self interests, let alone the collective interests of the nation and Iraq. They likely wouldn't care, you could rip them off for thousands more - and they will be for tens of thousands more. They won't care unless they actually had to go and fight/serve, and see the carnage for themselves. We live in a bubble nation, an island just completely disconnected from reality, and more than content being ignorant. .
