Lost by your comment.

I know I've been hearing discussions about climate change most of my life, and from an online search amazingly the discussions have been going on for centuries way before our time, but according to history.com:

"*The early 1980s would mark a sharp increase in global temperatures. Many experts point to 1988 as a critical turning point when watershed events placed global warming in the spotlight*" -history.com

the one common factor over the course of those generational discussions: no country does anything significant...

If you wanted a subtle but almost earth shattering personification of that nothing it was the surprising absence of one of the greatest and most influential proponents, king Charles, from COP27, once he gained true power.

This isnt to say that climate change isnt real. I whole heartedly believe it is. From time to time I make a biblical reference not as a zealot but because it has some relevance even if you take it as "*just a fairy tale*" (which I dont)... if you want to see what climate change WILL do, just read revelations. *The earth will move off its axis, stars will fall, mountains will move out of their places.. and woe to those who live in the "isles*"... that's us on these tiny pieces of rock btw. But for the average money making power country this is and will always be "*air*". Closer to home if you want to know the Bahamas' true conviction on climate change, look at Ragged Island and go search for the fill from all the hills we cut and are cutting down..

you seriously believe this administration (or any prior) believes in climate change when they allowed someone to cut down an entire hill in Fox Hill a month ago? Everytime I drive past the thought goes through my head that that hill could have saved 1000 people

You may not like to hear it, but if we elect the leaders we've as always elected through the same process we've always used, the Bahamas will do nothing about climate change. To be honest I dont know if who we looking for exists

Nobody is going to do anything about climate change. It would cost too much and interrupt to many economies. They "might" throw a couple million here and there to appear as if they're contributing.... look at Prince Charles, once he became king he didnt even show up to COP27. Noone is going to do anything. Look at the Bahamas the biggest hypocrite going wholesale after cryptocurrency while appearing at every international microphone available asking for help against climate. Has anyone at the ministry researched cryptocurrency and energy? Noone is going to do anything because climate change is "*air*", noone can touch it or feel it, and after one abnormal storm is over people forget. Money on the other hand is constantly making

Paradise Island is a wonder, its clean, its beautiful, its quiet then you walk 2 feet to the dirty overcrowded smelly bridge. Thats the Bahamas, an economic contradiction with full fledged govt support

This is CRAZY. **The article talks about being the *sustainability lead in the caribbean* and literally not one thing communicated indicated any sustainable initiative.** Not one. All the article mentioned is how we hoped to increase the number of air polluting flights and the amount of money they were going to spend. I see why we went to the Dubai 2020 Sustainability and Innovation conference and came back bragging about how well we sang and danced.

"*has been previously reported that the first officer on the scene found Mrs Vasyli in bed, shaking and crying*"
In bed at home or at her daughter's? And/or is that to say the officer changed their testimony?

I didnt hear the evidence but jurys have gotten it wrong many times. It's not always the end of the story. But it is always true that money or lack of money makes a difference in your treatment and your defense. It's a fact that even her defense lawyer acknowledged

"*contrary to recent US congressional testimony, the PRC has not built the biggest Embassy around the globe in The Bahamas.*"

Lol. I literally just told a colleague that they **have** to be referring to the Pointe as the embassy because the actual Chinese embassy isnt all that big in comparison to say the property the US Embassy sits on. The fly in the ointment is I'm pretty certain US Northern command knows much more about China's spy capabilities, the activities they're conducting and where than we will ever know, irrespective of what parrots and other birds sit outside the building.

One nations spy is another nations decorated hero.
One nations torture program is another nations national security.

There probably is no black and white

It's good that they've spoken up

Unfortunately its likely they've only done so because it would directly affect their bottom line as even Atlantis guests might be drawn away to the new site. Why do I say that? Because noone else has spoken up.

But good on Atlantis for doing so
