Global Warming
I couldn't believe what I was hearing on the news the other day - there was a member of the Australian government all but saying that there really isn't an issue with global warming. Is he for real? We had our hottest day ever here a week or so ago, probably because of global warming and he still can't see what is happening.
Surely it is time to now start doing something to try and repair the damage we have done to the environment! Sure, it may take some time to reverse - but if we don't start now the problem is only going to get worse and eventually we will have no choice but to try and do something. I say now before things get much worse!
The industrial nations like Australia should be leading the way - after all we did cause the problem!
What do we do - we refuse to assist those low lying nations in the Pacific who are in danger from rising sea levels. Pathetic really! We should definitely be helping these people before they loose their countries to global warming.

How do you expect to help- when most of the dirty work is being done by Russia, China, Indonesia and the other flea bag nations?

Certainly some valid thoughts there - but the last I read China was attempting to deal with global warming in its territory.
What can Australia do - be a little more sympathetic to those nations which may soon disappear with rising water levels. We are able to take in 'global warming refugees' or do we let them drown? We can also sign up to the Kyoto Agreement and be active in doing something to lessen global warming - as can the United States.
