Instead of being reactive & blaming other's
Climate Change inactivity, what are we doing in our own household?
Bahamas, be proactive, be an example to other SID countries!. Move away from the higher polluting fosil fuels & those used in high volumes. CNG for utilities is the first step, the transfer of the transportation sector in due time. Even the ever so loved cruise industries are modifying their vessels to using CNG! As have many utilities worldwide.
The rooftop Solar Power micro grid capabilities during daylight is high, while the required storage capacity & load sharing is still an evolving technology. What to do in meantime?
Change what you can! Some action is better than no-action. Maintaining Status Quo with your hand out is common 3rd world.

The Chinese & Indian contribution to the Climate issue is due mainly to their populations beign so extremely large, with subsequent contributions to pollution and little effort to resolution. Similarly at what point will Nassau say enough, there is no more space nor resources for more people? Of course we can always go up in skyscrapers, skyrails etc like beijing...Or not.
Choosing a cheaper Chinese or Indian solar panels is your perogative, little propaganda there.
LNG is the same as CNG, just in a higher volume & costly transport cryogenic liquid form. Less costly for the supplier, not the consumer/distributor, who must re-gassify using local saltwater to warm it back into a gas, changing the local water temperature much colder, damaging local reefs. Less damage if govt insist the cold water is pumped to similar cold waters at depth. A costly process, passed onto consumers. We agree that Natural Gas is a transitional utility fuel till technology improves hydrogen or electric storage systems.

No idea when the Climate Issue became a Chinese Propaganda tool. Get your head out of da Conch Shell, when the water rises inside, the only air is within the swirls!
3 administration's have been offered Natural Gas & alternative power projects of various forms; each kicking the can down the road without any commitment to move away from the Fossil Fuel Junkies that we are.
Like the drug junkie, spending his time seeking any means to the next "Survival Drug Contribution" to make it thru the day, till the next election. Be Brave, the solutions are on your desks, make decisions beyond the 'No Solution Staus Quo' .
Sociologist have proven that once we beg for our survival...it becomes Habitual instead of Insulting, minimizing any drive to find solutions for ourselves.

Spearfishing with a compressor? is as dangerous as with a scuba tank. Legal in Florida, legal in Bahamas? Very efficient, its no surprise Florida is barren. Predators love to steal from you...
Even with a recompression chamber, who will you blame for the embolism?

performance is everything. Ask yourself, over the decades What is the difference in The Performance of plp & fnm?
none!! research & compare the issues in the news during Any Administration of past 49years... crime, tourism, economy, health, education (at bottom)...Nothing has changed, the Staus Quo prevails.
Need a moderating third party? certainly would help here & in the US.

As members of The Fourth Estate of Society, newspapers must dedicate themselves to investigations into the issues affecting our daily lives.
Do your Job! Follow the Money...it will invariably show the skeletons of our society.
Yes, it is challenging in a small society where everyone knows everyone's brothers & cousins. Also, much easier to be your brother keeper's and improving our reputation as a Civil Society. Otherwise we are just another 3rd World Country of Criminal Swine, as expected...

Another case of 'ignorant, greedy, opportunist' at sea. Hang the slime in the sun to dry!

sheeprunner12: You are the only one making sence on this page, what a bunch of ignoramouses. Oligarths & Status-Quo charlatans.
Beleivers you will be, when the next cat5 floats your slab-on-sand home into the bay or next door neighbors; you will be on 1st flight out for the hills of US or Europe, joining all those 'run-away-professionals' who gladly took their education-abroad benefits, never to return the investment home to improve their mother & country.
Dont complain about greed & political corruption...it starts young.

poaching is poaching, wether for personal consumption or profit. Taking egg bearing females is wrong/illegal in both US & The Bahamas, there is no excuse for ignorance of policy; nor knowledge of location within the Park, particularlywith todays electronics even a cellphone!!
Cruising vessels are guest in another's country and must be responsible guest as we demand in our own home. But when a guest sees bad behavior & laxness by the same occupants, they will imitate.
In regards to natural resources, the impact of volumes of contraband is critical to response of authority. I.e.: Dominican commercial fisher poachers should loose all as that is piracy, compared to a cruising vessel catching dinner. penalties should reflect the gravity of the action.

Kill the mature, thick lip, tough-grey meated, breeding adults & you loose it all.
Original natives had reverence for the world they are placed in, understanding that ,they must be responsible, temporary caretakers for the future generations to come. Can we? or are We destined to emulate what the Europeans did to the American Buffalo (photo) and Original Natives.
