All the costs? Of eliminating a good portion of sentient life on earth? What the hell haven't you been reading? Do you read at all?

ColumbusPillow only comments on this issue. It is clear they are paid to do so by Bahamas Petroleum.

Had education been a priority in this nation's past, the people of The Bahamas would be in the streets demanding the resignation of the Prime Minister and the Minister of the Environment on this matter alone. Instead, in the coming years, sooner than later, the wealthy, the politicians and the CEO of BPC will be the first to leave these islands for higher ground. The vast majority of Bahamians will be on their own. Having been promised their pie in the sky Sovereign Wealth Fund, only to find mere pennies in the account. It is amazing how bankrupt we will be then; Monetarily bankrupt, Intellectually bankrupt, morally bankrupt. With not a thought to those who come after us. I can think of no more irresponsible act in the history of The Bahamas than drilling for oil here. One of the saddest commentaries on how Bahamians feel about, and are treating this miraculous chain of islands and pristine waters; with such disrespect..

The down current reality from our decades long neglect of educating our citizenry.
All for ourselves, think nothing of others and future generations of Bahamians.
PM and Minister of Environment should resign.

Proof that we have failed as a country and as a species.
Beyond ignorance, beyond greed, a true undeniable assault on our children.

Your letter makes too much sense.
Find another country to publish it.

The Bahamian people must see that this guy is not fit to manage a fast food restaurant, let alone a small country. Right? Or has this PLP and FNM stuff stolen the minds of most?

Who does our Central Bank work for?
What is their job?
What are the officers salaries and what do the Bahamian people get for their money.
Banking should be a non profit service for the good of the citizens and businesses.
We have gotten used to this nonsense.
Banks should serve the people or should be shut down.
Any other legitimate business who made their customers wait in long lines, and offered the horrible customer service we receive, would be out of business.
What exactly do banks produce? What "services" do they actually provide that would warrant their existence?

Let us not ignore the fact that most all coral reefs are likely to be gone very soon due to rising sea temperatures and ocean acidification. While a storm may localize impacts, the effects of warmer water and too much acid to create their carbonate skeletons will affect corals globally.
Given these realities, and the importance that coral reefs play in the overall health of our fisheries, economies and diets, this temporary "good" news should not distract us from the realities in front of us.

I think we're missing the point.
No government, ours included especially, has the interests of its people has a priority.
They want to get into power, stay in power, and enrich themselves.
If this is not the case, show me how the Bahamian people have truly benefited by any party or politician who has "served" us. Served us, before serving themselves, their families, their political cronies.
