The government doesn't even have the expertise to have the expertise to hire the expertise. Another boondoggle for some fancy-talking tech term to take their money and deliver nothing.

I had a client who ran a $30 million dollar business. He was looking for $5 million for bridge financing to make an acquisition. I approached Tenny on his behalf. Tenny would would be glad to loan the $5 million in exchange for 51% of the business.

I do not often agree with well_mudda, but in this case, I do, although, his assessment was slightly wrong. Tenny always took more than 10% for front-running for foreigners and for "grease".

I am not one of the ones in mourning.

Facebook isn't going to create a tech hub. You have to start from the ground up, nurturing both infrastructure and human capital. Kwasi hasn't got a clue. He has been spinning his wheels for almost 3 years now, and nothing to show for it.

You are confused Milankovitch's Theory. He theorizes about climate cycles, however the time scale on his predictions is measured in kiloyears or thousands of years. The driver's of climate change in Milankovitch's Theory are the tilt of earth's axis (the earth doesn't spin or rotate exactly -- the earth is known to switch north magnetic pole to south magnetic pole over thousands of years) and the eccentricity of the orbital shape.
The changes wrought in the past 100 years have an acceleration on seen in catastrophic events (comet hitting earth, huge volcanic activity etc).
If you do graph extrapolation of a Milankovitch graph using any one of his parameters, the earth should be getting cooler and not warmer.

In this case, as you point out, human activity is the cause of the current climate change, and unfortunately, it is not a parameter in Milankovitch's Theory.

We are on totally new ground and won't know what's going to happen. By 2050, over 80% of The Bahamas is expected to be under water.

In the interest of truth, which paul vincent zecchino is unacquainted with, there is no such thing as a climate scientist. Most of the climate change data has been collected by geologists, earth scientists and physicists (Academy of Physical Sciences). Zecchino shows his ignorance by confusing weather with climate. Weather is day to day conditions, climate is average weather over a long period of time. Since 1993, using satellite data, average temperatures in defined climate areas have been rising as has been the rise in sea level, and the rate is accelerating. These are indisputable empirical facts (sorry for the big words zecchino).
Zecchino makes up his own lies. One of the biggest whoppers is saying that scientists said the earth was flat. Erasthenes, who died in 194BC, is best known for being the first person to calculate the circumference of the Earth, which he did by comparing angles of the mid-day Sun at two places a known North-South distance apart. His calculation was remarkably accurate. Scientists knew the sphericity of the earth from observing the stars.
Spewing invective like saying eco-frauds is the mechanism of ignorance and stupid people with no higher powers of logic who believe their own biases of their limited minds because they are not able to comprehend enlightenment from logic and reason. In this day and age in the era of fake news, you can get your alternative facts anywhere, and spew them out in a vomit of lies as if they truth. Look at Trump.

If you believe in God, you have to believe that he sent the hurricane. Believers say its all in god's plan. So prayers can't help, because it was planned.

Ironic. Paperless Bahamians were turned away from evacuation to Florida. The shoe is on the other foot.
