Charlie,

I had no idea you are a yoga instructor. Amazing that you can really get your head all the way up your a$$.

But, but, but wait.............the Chinese will come and save the day. Just ask Sir Ronald Sanders.

Poor Diane.

Good Ole, Sir Ronald Sanders.

Ask him why the Paris Accord is just an Accord and not a US Treaty. Ask him what major Country has made significant progress in reducing carbon emissions. Ask him what Countries continue to pollute and emit without any real progress towards reducing their footprint. Ask Good Ole Sir Ronald about his warm relationship with China. Ask him why he double talks about the US and China frequently. Ask Good Ole Sir Ronald about the virus that is impacting every part of the world and listen to his double talk non answer. Just ask him..........

Once again. Poor Diane, her woke whiteness is showing.

Malcolm X was a Muslim minister and human rights activist. Born in 1925, he met his death at the hands of an assassin in 1965. Malcolm X was a courageous advocate for black civil rights. Malcom X had it right many years ago when he said and I quote;

"The worst enemy that the Negro have is this white man that runs around here drooling at the mouth professing to love Negros and calling himself a liberal, and it is following these white liberals that has perpetuated problems that Negros have. If the Negro wasn't taken, tricked or deceived by the white liberal, then Negros would get together and solve our own problems. I only cite these things to show you that in America, the history of the white liberal has been nothing but a series of trickery designed to make Negros think that the white liberal was going to solve our problems. Our problems will never be solved by the white man."

Poor Diane.

The downstream pollution that results from the batteries and other materials in the power train of electric vehicles is or should be a very large concern. While technology is improving, the disposal of batteries has the potential for long term environmental problems. Not to mention that making a lithium-ion battery is an energy-intensive manufacturing process as well. Often this energy comes from carbon-emitting sources. An electric car needs a massive amount of lithium; the battery pack in a Tesla Model S needs 140 pounds of lithium, the amount in 10,000 cell phones. China is a main source of lithium and lithium processing. Without an intensive and expensive recycling effort the problem compounds.....pollution and more dependency on China. EV's may have place in transportation going forward......but they are not currently environmentally friendly.

Selective outrage is occurring in the United States as we type. When Seattle, Portland, Oakland, Minneapolis, Kenosha, St. Louis, New York City, Richmond, and DC were being burned, vandalized and looted by demonstrators, where was the righteous indignation? Where were the masses (not just one or two), talking about how terrible politically-based violence is? They were absent. The news media made excuses and called it "mostly peaceful" protesting. Political leaders (mainly Democrats) excused the behavior because they believed it would help their political ambitions. But now, when the same behavior (and it is the same) comes from some members of an opposing political viewpoint, suddenly there is widespread outrage about how terrible it is. Unlawful behavior was condoned during the summer and it should not have been. The double standard is obvious and does not promote a unifying message.

Here in the Bahamas, there is also a double standard and selective outrage. We are not immune from division.

Hey Porc,

What say you about all this?

But, but, but wait.............the Chinese will come and save the day. Just ask Sir Ronald Sanders.

Hey there Porc,

Drill for oil or not, the earths climate changes and has changed over the eons. The earth is 3.5 billion with a B years old (+/-) according to most scientists. The climate has swung significantly along the way. Glaciers and oceans have come and gone, temperatures have fluctuated dramatically. While I agree the pristine waters of the Bahamas deserve protection from all types of pollution, the climate will change regardless. In my opinion, far more damage to the Bahamian environment occurs from uncontrolled boating/yachting that routinely dumps human waste and trash directly into the sea.

Your concern about the impacts of oil drilling may have some basis for concern, but the fact is, the climate changes and has changed. It is part of nature.

We have heard from the alarming scientists before. Please note the date of the U.N. Disaster Report below.
