"*Al Jaber added: “Please help me, show me the roadmap for a phase-out of fossil fuel that will allow for sustainable socioeconomic development, unless you want to take the world back into caves.”*

For me the issue isnt that he made the statement. The issue is he's correct. Noone has answered him. Unless I missed it. How do you phase out completely?

Again as Ive said before its clear to me that no nation, none, has any serious intention of phasing out oil. Theyd all collapse. Im further bolstered in my belief by scripture (sorry this is just my belief, it can be a nice story to others) in the apocalypse it says "*hurt not the oil and the wine*". If in the apocalypse theyre protecting the oil interest, it een going nowhere. Nations go to these conferences to go to the conference. Some go to get on the world stage and make a speech.

I will say, if the Bahamas believes it will get its hands in billions of disaster funding to squander it on 6m in 200 overpriced worthless igloos for a tropical climate and a "gift" of a 16000 dollar generator to the Executive Director in a fire sale, theyd better think again. That day gone

Hmmm... I get it but it sounds like Salem witch trial on sharks. its possible this could be the work of a single shark thats found a new food source. Maybe its injured.

A better approach might be people education. There's a man that I always see cleaning fish at the Prince Charles/East Bay ramp, that needs to stop. I saw a large stingray swimming right on shore in the area, maybe 1-2ft from the seawall, again I dont know if thats usual or not. But you cant clean fish where people swim, its literally baiting the water. Which leaves an open question for Montagu, Potters Cay and Arawak Cay practices. We need to start doing things with sense.

I dont know how the govt runs a courier service. They need to get regular mail right first

Tree looks complete to me... I suppose it's better than the diapers they hung on the trees lining Arawak cay about 4 christmases ago... might have been Wisdom

Is this unsual, I cant remember a time when there were so many shark attacks near shore. If she was indeed just married, cant even begin to understand that. The happiest week of your life and the earth is just shaken underneath you

I dont get our reporters' trend to not list facts. She was swimming near Sandals it's a fact. The intl news will certainly report it, they wont say "an island said to be located in the caribbean allegedly on beach"

"*Citing the changes as critical to developing an economy driven by innovation*"

They must be reading my posts, because after years of talking about digital innovation in 2023 they just realize innovators want better protection?. Sadly, the law will likely have a clause, IP cant be infringed unless at the discretion of the minister or in the interest of national security. Nobody will trust IP protection in the Bahamas. Nobody. Better to file in a foreign country and request intl coverage

Sadly again we dont know what innovation is

Davis is fighting for financing. To do what with is anybody's guess

what about the 200sq acres of mangroves that was cleared near adelaide? Do the police have any update on who is responsible?

Mr Wilson has made a number of seemingly rash miscalculations with dire economic consequences. Smart or not.

I agree with the last statement. It appears the trend is for the PM to take the Finance or Environment post so they can control everything. And thats ok if they have control. But for 3 out of 5 PMs theyve been completely lazy in the role. Its inexcusable for a minister of finance to say they had no idea about a critical fuel hedge resulting in a tripling of consumer electrical rates.

This PM in particular appears to want the role of an ambassador, having taken up the airy-fairy climate debate. I classify it as airy-fairy not because its not important but because its clear to me that no world leader is serious about doing anything about it, King Charles the greatest proponent didnt even show up to his first climate conference as king. It appears to me that the climate fight has become a great stage for posturing, making impassioned speeches and mixing with the rich and famous but not much else.

Anyone else heard about 200 sq acres of mangroves that were destroyed last week? **200 sq acres of Mangroves.. you know the things the govt made a big deal about replenishing and replanting in the climate fight. 200 sq ACRES. destroyed. last week. Not one peep from the climate PM about it. That tells us everything we need to know**
