The cowardly Japanese whalers not only flagrantly violate an internationally accepted whale conservation moratorium to which they themselves are signatories to but also resort to highhanded policies on the high seas. BBC reports that they have wantonly rammed into Adi Gil - a vessel belonging to the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society – and cleaved it into two. At the time of this heinous act the small vessel had six unarmed, defenseless people on board. The whole world was shocked by this mindless cruelty and as such a horrible act in the extreme. Surely this is an act of terrorism on a defenseless vessel trying to protest the illegal activities of the monsters aboard the Japanese vessels.
The gritty activists are fighting for the lives of the greatest fauna on earth, the majestic whales. And why do the Japanese hunt them? They do it in the name of research! Blah! And what is the topic of research! Is it to find out how chunks of meat of those poor hapless whales are processed in ‘the gutless’ bellies of those Japanese who are so inhuman as to consume it? And what original research the Japanese do anyway? They take the ideas of the Western scientists, brush up something here, something there and pass of it as their own by manufacturing it wholesale and dumping it on other countries? Now they can’t even do that, their duplicate economy is in shambles, the Chinese and the Koreans are beating them at their own game.

Saga of Nick the Nut
The very presence of Nick Griffin, the British National Party leader is an insult to the spirit of
Politicians belong to various kinds of political orientation. There are rightists, centrists and leftists. That is understandable. There are world leaders who want to bring about a balance between controlling carbon emissions and their respective economies. This is also understandable.
But to call climate change campaigners ‘cranks’ is something that is unacceptable. Branding climate change as a ‘new theology’ is so much poppycock. He is using pseudo jargon to describe the process to make him seem like an intellectual bent on putting things right. If those who are conscientious and dedicated enough to save the earth are ‘cranks’, then Nick Griffin is a nut and EE christen him as Nick the Nut.
Thankfully, spokesmen for the British Government stated that Nick the Nut do not represent its views. After all he’s nothing but an English version of Bob Lutz of the ‘crock of shit’ notoriety.

Carbon Emissions, Future Promise.
International Energy Agency or IEA has come out with a statement that makes lovers of the earth happy. In its 2008 forecast on the oil situation, IEA ‘fears’ that oil supplies are dwindling fast, in a way that seems very ironical to Environmental Extremist. Two important countries China and India needs increasing supplies of oil as their economies are growing rapidly. These countries are also guilty of massive carbon emissions into the already dying environment.
The new demand will create a gap between production and supply to the tune of 7 million barrels a day, according to IEA projections, incidentally bringing down a voluminous reduction in carbon emissions, a situation that is cause for celebration. The agency exhorts the countries of the world to shell out $450 billion annually to look for new sources of oil. Environmental Extremist believes that IEA is chasing chimeras by this act of wishful thinking.
IEA forecasts that oil production from all prevailing oil fields to drop by half – such a forecast is music to Environmental Extremist’s ears because the scaling down of the resultant carbon emissions will out to be a real boon for Mother Earth. The agency is of the opinion that the world will need a whopping 64 million barrels a day by 2030.
The hope of finding new oil strikes to keep up with this massive demand might be fulfilled but only by a small fraction of the hoped for by oil cartels. This scenario is highly appreciated by Environmental Extremist, because the less oil produced, the less carbon emissions into the air.
It is said that when a cat drinks milk on the sly, it closes its eyes. The politicians around the world closes their eyes to the fact that incredible volumes of carbon emission is filling the air every minute and by closing their eyes to it like the cat, they hope that the problem will disappear in that instant.
And this ostrich approach prevents them from pursuing all alternate energy sources on a war footing until that objective is achieved within as short a time frame as possible. Instead they are still hoping for the miracle of finding fresh oil fields in the hundreds so that their main sponsors the auto and oil barons are kept happy and satisfied.
Oh! World leaders who is going to Copenhagen, IT IS TIME TO SEE THE WRITING ON THE WALL AND TO TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION. If you keep on your present policy of kowtowing to the oil and auto barons, the future generations will curse you so that your progeny for a thousand generations will stay cursed.
Leaders of the world on the way to Copenhagen, only you can prevent Mother Earth from becoming a sewer for future generations – among them your own grand and great grand children – to wallow in like pigs. It is the humble request of Environmental Extremist and thousands like him to end all kind of pollution especially carbon emission. So ACT NOW WITH RESPONSIBILITY, FOREKNOWLEDGE, VISION AND WISDOM and make Copenhagen a resounding success.
The coming generations will forever be grateful to you if you save them from the inevitable catastrophe.

Action350
To kick start The International Day of Climate Action, the true children of Mother Earth assembles in various parts of the world, holding placards in their hands with the inscription '350' which is the safe upper limit for carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
They demonstrated before the Bourse in Paris, in front of the Circus Maximus in Rome, near the Opera House in Sydney. At the Red Fort in New Delhi, the Earthlings formed themselves in huge formations of the magic number and in the picturesque Dal Lake in Kashmir, India, small boats were used in similar formations.
To all these men and women, EE extends support and thru this blog pay tribute.
While such great things were going on around the word, Politicians who alone can do something against the evil tendency of carbon emissions is sparring and bickering. In a recent London meeting of the Major Economics Forum launched by President Obama, the emissaries of the concerned countries miserably failed to come to an agreement on the two points that matter. The developing countries, instead of working in a spirit of compromise want to make hay when the sun shines. They want the developed nations to underwrite the losses of bringing down atmospheric carbon emissions to a safe level, while the developed countries want to bring down the cuts in greenhouse gases as little as possible and push the onus down the throat of the developing nations.
ALL THIS POINTS TO ONE GRIM SCENARIO: The professional windbags will let out a lot of hot air at Copenhagen and no effective agreement will be signed.
Since it is the developed countries that began to violate Mother Earth in the first place with their Pittsburghs and Ruhrs, they have a moral responsibility of putting things in order first by substantially cutting down their carbon emissions RIGHTAWAY!

The Politicians Are Making The Right Noises
The politicians are indeed making the right kind of noises ahead the Copenhagen Summit in December. All those who are responsible for the worse pollution in history like America, the EU, China and India are making positive noises. Let’s go thru what they said.
The credit of being the pioneers in atmospheric pollution, the founding father of carbon emission goes the United States. And what does the present president of America says. In recent high level climate summit convened by the inimitable Ban Ki-moon, President Obama declared that they would meet their responsibility to future generations. He said that his country is a serious partner in combating global warming and that he is determined to act. In burst of oratory he added that,” Our generation’s response to this challenge will be judged by history.” He continued that nations faced difficulties in the process “But difficulty is no excuse for complacency.” He concluded by stating that his country is ready to play the leading role but rapidly growing nations should do their part.
Now we turn to the worst polluter among the developing countries, the high faluting China. President HU Jintao at the same venue emphasized the need to conserve energy and improve energy efficiency. He’s ready to cut carbon dioxide emissions per unit of China’s GDP by a notable margin by 2020 from the 2005 levels. He will go for alternate and nuclear energies by increasing the share of non-fossil fuels in basic consumption by15% by 2020. China will increase forest carbon sink by increasing forest coverage by 40 million hectares. He realizes “global climate change has a profound impact on the existence of mankind and is a major challenge facing all countries.
Let’s go to India the next in line in the matter of carbon emissions. Jairam Ramesh, minister for Environment and Forests righteously stated that “it is wrong to blame India for deadlock.” He called India a deal maker and a deal breaker. It must be remembered that at any such conferences India and China usually turn stumbling blocks, putting all the blame on the developed countries. The minister said that “the message that I am conveying is tat we have not caused the problem of global warming but we want to be part of the solution in Copenhagen.” He said, India’s national climate plan planned a voluntary mitigation measures by 2020. He concluded by exhorting the Americans to change their lifestyles to combat climate change. Judging by the way urban Indians following the ‘Americn style’ bandwagon, this statement is an understatement.
P.S. In a recent statement, the very same hon’ble minister made it clear that India will not accept any legally binding agreement on climate change at Copenhagen!
WE’LL SEE WHAT WE’LL SEE AT COPENHAGEN!!!

In praise of Senor Jose Manuel Barroso
After showing EE’s appreciation and admiration for the present U.N.Secretary General Mr. Ban Ki-moon, another world figure has come out with a dire warning at the outcome of carbon emissions i.e., global warming. He is no less a personage than Senor Jose Manuel Barroso, Hon’ble President of the European Union.
He has expressed his apprehensions concerning the forthcoming climate conference in Copenhagen. He is particularly concerned about the ‘business as usual attitude’ of those countries that looks on with folded hands as carbon emissions on a massive scale warms Mother Earth and bring about catastrophic climate change. Judging from past experience, the politicians at the summit will stick to their positions without an iota of change.
Senor Barroso rightly foresees a split between the developing and developed countries resulting from what he termed ‘acrimonious collapse.’ He exhorts the concerned countries to emulate the European example and to put ‘offers on the table, offers at the outer limits of our political constraints.’ He suggests that ‘all developed countries clarify their plans on mid term emissions reductions and show the necessary leadership, not least because of our responsibilities for past emissions.’
The present goal is an 80% reduction of carbon emissions by 2050. To achieve these, developed countries should limit such emissions of 20-40% on a collective basis by 2020. He assures us that E.U is willing to go from 20 to 30% if other countries make similar efforts. At the same time the developed countries ‘have to pay a significant part in helping to finance mitigation and adaptation action by developing countries.’ He goes on to state that the biggest share of this help ‘should come from the carbon market, if we have the courage to set up an ambitious global scheme.’
He is of the opinion that the advanced developed countries should finance part of these themselves. These countries should put forward their proposals as to how far they will go in mitigating carbon emissions. Senor Barroso is aware that these countries have already taken measures to limit the growth of their carbon emissions but these are not enough and ‘there is a need to step up such efforts, especially by the ‘most advanced developing countries.’
He considers ‘Copenhagen is a critical occasion to shift, collectively onto an emissions trajectory that keeps global warming below 2 degrees C.’ He concludes with the remark that ‘the fight back’ should begin at the G8 summit in New York.
