But did the rioters buy the Kyoto Karbon Kredits from Al Gore and the traveling Global Warming show, prior to setting their petrol stations alight?
One must after all stay Kyoto Kompliant!! :)
Cheers
Hans:
I'm now beginning to take Al Gore and global warming seriously. How else do you explain this story:
"South Africa dusted by rare snow storm"
"A rare winter snowstorm dusted South Africa's commercial capital Johannesburg early on Wednesday as a winter weather front moved across the country, closing mountain passes and claiming at least one life."
"Gleeful children built snowmen in Johannesburg's Zoo Lake Park, while families could be seen carrying snowballs back to their cars, fast melting souvenirs of the city's first significant snowfall since 1981."
I'm telling you, global warming is a bitch. Consider ourselves lucky we don't have global cooling.

Global warming my eye. There was 4-6cm snow on the Coquihalla highway on June 25th!! Al Gore's Kyoto Karbon Kredits won't do you any good either when an F4 class tornado, sporting 417 km/hr winds, blasts through Elie, Manitoba.
Yep, Judy and Toto watch out those flying monkeys and the wicked witch from the east might steal your red bejeweled shoes!!
Follow the yellow brick road and get your Kyoto Karbon Kredits and it'll stop any climate changing tornado dead in its tracks!
NOT!!

The only time there has ever been a revolution in a nuclear armed country was the break up of the old Soviet Union. We got through that one ok although if you look deeper there were a few tense periods.
Iran is shaky and so is Pakistan. It may not be long before South Korea starts wobbling. The idea of three nuclear (or close to it) powers teetering on revolution is a bit bothersome.
Hans Rupprecht: A suggestion for the name of the missing regiment/brigade level:
"von Stauffenberg"

Congratulations!
I have it on good authority that Uncle Al wants to offer you a year's supply of Kyoto Kool-aid for the Konverted, in exchange for exclusive rights to the term "Kyoto Karbon Kredits."
Which flavour do you want? Organic dandelion or E85 switchgrass-mango?

But no announcement of plans to build new refinery capacity. Brilliant strategy. That'll win friends.
On the other hand, 2 or 3 hours of productivity per shift wouldn't seem to be the appropriate answer either.

Maybe there's something wrong with my mouse(?)...
--But no announcement of plans to build new refinery capacity.--
That's what we want, the Chicoms building refineries.
We and the Brits build the best, but they ain't getting us - uless W makes an overture, and and this rate, w/the comments and headscarves at the OIC - I wouldn't put it past him or Condi to recommend it.
I wouldn't be upset if they built some more capacity up here in the Great White North; I'm tired of hearing how the high gas price is due to too little supply and too much demand...duuuh, fix the problem.

"I'm tired of hearing how the high gas price is due to too little supply and too much demand...duuuh, fix the problem."
Whose problem is that? I don't believe that it's viewed as a problem by oil companies. Probably not to environmentalists either. It's not really government's business to get involved in and it would seem that the price of refining capacity is too high for an entrepreneur to get involved.
So how do we get oil companies to see it as a problem worth fixing when it would hurt their profits?
John B.: You explain snow in Africa in much the same way you explain the fatal heat wave in Europe. You just call it "the weather". If it starts snowing every summer in Africa and Europe turns into a desert, you call it climate change.
