The report on the latest climate jamboree doesn't mention much of interest. I want to know: Which was the most popular wine? What was the most expensive bottle of wine consumed? Who had the most expensive accommodation? What proportion traveled there first class, business class, and economy class? How many affairs were there? Did Al Gore get his second chakra relieved? How about David Suzuki? What was the biggest meal bill? How many tons of CO2 were emitted en route there and back? What was the all up total cost of the whole jamboree, including salaries and all expenses? <The Doha meeting did not produce even the barest outline of what that new agreement would look like, leaving those questions for future meetings.> So they will need to do "further research". Next time in Bali? Woohoo! Great location. Unimaginable impacts? Good God, it's worse than I thought. < “This is not where we wanted to be at the end of the meeting, I assure you,” he told the delegates. “It certainly isn’t where we need to be in order to prevent islands from going under and other unimaginable impacts. > I can imagine sea level rising, deserts expanding, steam rising, forests catching fire, cities drowned, tsunamis and hurricanes daily, volcanoes erupting, even earthquakes and huge species extinction, not to mention pandemic 80% mortality disease, spreading mosquitoes, and a lot more besides. Imagine unimaginable impacts over and above all those imaginable impacts. This is seriously awful. I demand another jamboree next week to save the world. Let's at least aim to get those unimaginable impacts pinned down to some extent. Mqurice
