American pride highest in the world

Americans are the most patriotic people on the planet, according to researchers at the University of Chicago's National Opinion Research Center who quantified and compared the national sense of pride in 34 countries.

The United States is at the head of the list, followed by Venezuela, Ireland, South Africa, Australia, Canada, Chile, New Zealand, the Philippines and Israel rounding out the top 10.

The U.S. was ranked highest overall, particularly in pride in democracy, economy, political influence, science and the military.

The IWC Fails to protect whales.

clipper's remarks: Under Japan's special permit whaling programs, in 2007, a total of 551 Antarctic minke whales were taken under the JARPA II program, while 207 common minke, 100 sei, 50 Bryde's and three sperm whales were taken under the JARPN II program in the North Pacific.

The issue of special permit whaling deeply divides the Commission and as in previous years, strong statements both in favor and against lethal research programs were made.

The Japanese delegation said it is "strongly convinced" that the current situation is undesirable for all members and that the IWC must be normalized.

"Japan commends and appreciates the tremendous efforts Chair-Hogarth has put in over the past year in order to once again make the IWC an effective organization that can fulfill its own mission, the conservation and management of whale resources," Japan said in a statement.

Japan is of the view that "due to serious disagreements among different groups within the IWC, there has been a paucity of constru

SANTIAGO, Chile, July 1, 2008 (ENS) - The International Whaling Commission wound up its annual meeting here Friday without achieving new protections for whales or resolving the deep rifts that divide the member governments into pro-whaling and pro-conservation factions.

The strategy failed Thursday when Denmark insisted on a vote to increase by 10 the number of humpback whales Greenland whalers could kill as part of the country's aboriginal subsistence whaling program.

"We are extremely relieved to know that humpback whales are safe from hunting in European waters. The adoption of this flawed proposal from Greenland would have set a terrible precedent for allowing commercial elements in aboriginal subsistence hunting,"

Int'l Whaling Comm. Fails, Threats to Whales Mount, Whaling Nations Dig In

clipper's remarks: A new report on climate change suggested dire consequences for the world’s whales if immediate steps aren’t taken to mitigate the effects of changes in sea temperature, freshening of seawater from melting ice and increased rainfall, sea level rise, loss of polar habitats, and the decline of krill populations. Meanwhile, the IWC’s Scientific Committee continued its important work on assessments of threats to whales from ship strikes, fisheries entanglements, and underwater noise generated by human technology, including energy company exploration, as well as from emerging and recurring diseases.

With whales threatened by increasing harm from ship strikes, pollution, underwater noise, and climate change, whaling nations promised no reductions in their take at this year’s International Whaling Commission meeting, which ended Friday in Chile.

No End to the Killing

The biggest whale slaughter in the world will continue, as Japan kills nearly 17,000 Dall’s porpoises. Japan did not even respond to the plea from the United States and other nations at IWC to reduce its killing of the Dall’s to sustainable levels.

Japan’s “scientific” whaling programs, JARPA and JARPN II—barely disguised commercial whaling programs embattled by scandals over crew members’ embezzlement of whale meat and meaningless academic observations by scientists—will also continue. JARPA kills about 1,000 whales per year in the Southern Ocean and JARPN II kills approximately 200 more.

Greenland wants to take 10 humpback whales.

Put A Stop To Cut-Rate Gas: International Monetary Fund

clipper's remarks: Governments that try to create a false economy for oil are not revealing the truth to their people.

About half of humanity, from India to Chile, now benefits from cut-rate petroleum prices. In 2008, these countries will account for all the growth in world oil demand, or an additional one million barrels a day, according to Deutsche Bank. Their consumption will be the highest in eight years.

In China, oil demand is estimated to rise 5 to 10 percent this year, but the government has resisted calls to end price controls. A few other countries – Chile and South Korea – are now moving toward subsidies to appease political pressures.

In Congress, bills to combat global warming would raise costs for oil users, even possibly adding a dollar to gasoline prices. But proposals by lawmakers to relieve those costs with subsidies to consumers would only defeat the purpose of reducing oil demand.

In China, the government caps gas prices. Drivers there pay about half of what Americans pay. In many countries, oil prices are held artificially low, either by fiat or subsidy. The result? Consumption keeps rising, boosting global prices. The rest of the world – the part now racing to conserve – ends up paying more than it should.

Unfair?

Yes, say global actors such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which is calling on governments to let consumers face market prices in order to kick-start conservation and reduce official spending.

A few nations that do subsidize fuel are feeling the financial pinch on budgets and moving to reduce subsidies or end price caps, despite street protests against such moves. Most of them are in Asia, the region that will account for 70 percent of the increase in oil demand this year.

The biggest culprits are oil exporting nations, especially in the Gulf. They continue to throw petrodollars at both fuel subsidies and big projects that consume oil.

Whales lose, Japan wins

Whales emerged the big losers as a weeklong International Whaling Commission meeting wrapped up in Chile on Friday, conservation groups said after anti-whaling nations failed to halt No. 1 hunter Japan.

Anti-whale hunting nations led by Australia have voiced deep concern at Japan's skirting a nonbinding 1986 moratorium on commercial whaling by killing hundreds of whales each year in the name of scientific research.

Japan says it is unhappy with the moratorium and wants to resume commercial whaling, though detractors say it is already doing so in all but nam

Japan goes home without any votes or resolutions against it. Iceland started a new round of commercial whaling just prior to this conference. So they are not taking it very seriously. Nothing has been achieved for the whales."

Japan gives itself a special permit to catch 1,000 whales each year despite the moratorium, while Norway and Iceland continue to hunt whales in defiance of the ban.

ScienceDaily (June 30, 2008) — The argument that increasing whale populations are behind declining fish stocks is completely without scientific foundation, leading researchers and conservation organizations said today as the International Whaling Commission opened its 60th meeting in Santiago, Chile.

The Humane Society International, WWF and the Lenfest Ocean Program today presented three new reports debunking the science behind the ‘whales-eat-fish’ claims emanating from whaling nations Japan, Norway and Iceland. The argument has been used to bolster support for whaling, particularly from developing nations.

I think you need to revisit the title. It should read the other way around according to modern volcanic science: “Lightning Storm During Volcanic Eruption”.
“As clouds of toxic ash and dust tower into the sky, they ionise the air, generating an explosive electrical storm. Colossal forks of lightning spark around the noxious plume as it spews from the volcano’s crater, creating an image of raw, terrifying energy - as if the air itself were ablaze.”

Whaling group faces crisis as Japan threatens to walk out

Japan has threatened to pull out of the international body set up to protect whale stocks because of its failure to offer any concessions on the vexed issue of commercial hunting.

The ultimatum from Tokyo came after the annual meeting of the 77-nation International Whaling Commission in Chile, where Japan has fought to overturn the moratorium on commercial hunting ever since it was passed by a majority vote in 1986.

Japan insists that controlled commercial whaling can be reintroduced as long as it does not endanger stock levels, but has been consistently outvoted.

This year's meeting took place amid growing international anger at Japan's practice of circumventing the moratorium by catching up to 1,000 whales a year under so-called "scientific quotas"

Partly as a result of attempting to take the heat of the discussions, however, this year's meeting has achieved little substantive progress on the hunting issue.
