"It certainly sends a message that's consistent with what we've seen in the last few years -- that climate over Australia and indeed over the world as a whole is getting warmer..."
As chairman of a British company, the former US vice-president still has global warming and long-term consequences on his mind, writes Peter Weekes.
"What changed in the US with hurricane Katrina was a feeling that we have entered a period of consequences and that bitter cup will be offered to us again and again until we exert our moral authority and respond appropriately," he says. "I don't want to diminish the threat of terrorism at all, it is extremely serious, but on a long-term global basis, global warming is the most serious problem we are facing."

Thousands have no shelter with the first snows of winter only days away
At least 500,000 earthquake survivors in Pakistan still have no shelter with the fierce Himalayan winter just days away, international relief agencies have warned. Aid workers are scrambling to get tents to survivors in high mountain areas where snow may arrive any day, but the international relief effort is failing.
The problem is a severe lack of funds. Relief agencies warn that if they do not get adequate shelters to survivors before snow falls, thousands will die.

One of the most remarkable confrontations ever between man and beast is the subject of the first television drama from the BBC's natural history unit.
The Man-Eating Leopard of Rudraprayag, on air next month, is set in the summer of 1926, when the hunter Jim Corbett set out to track and kill a rogue leopard that was to eat 126 people. His legendary jungle guile and ultimate success made him a hero in India to this day.

Environment Canada is trying to determine whether a tornado was responsible for ripping the roof off an elementary school in Hamilton, Ont., on Wednesday, slightly injuring two students.
The children were among a group practising volleyball in the gym of the Lawfield Public School at about 4 p.m. when a bout of severe weather hit.
"I just heard a big gust of wind and the roof just collapsed," said Matt Theoret, one of the students in the gym. "The windows blew in... We all ran."

Comment: He's right, of course, and for more reasons than the mainstream media mentions. More than that, the "War Without End" launched by the Neocons contributes enormously to the problems of global pollution and ecological disruption. I think that we can say that the so-called "Global War on Terror" is quite similar to Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy.
"Munchausen's Syndrome by Proxy (MSP) is a parenting disorder where parents, usually the mother, fabricate symptoms in their children, thus subjecting the child to unnecessary medical tests and/or surgical procedures. In some cases, the parents also inflict injury and can kill their children in the process."
