*Hurricane Hilda*

In the late 70's there were a massive black out.

Then Next day the chief of The Power station is removed by the order of Lee.

Anyway, the HDB, The URA the Environment Agencies they are all scholar. Not Like me Private funded. Really from the People Goese to The People.

Heart to Heart To The People!! That is what Lee Have been doing in the late 50's, 60's &0's & on my return from UK in the early 80's as well. But not the same now!!

U see the structure of HDB, URA & the private development. The structures are only good for those day where global warming is not an issues yet.

With the concret & the bricks structures & more populations, more flights, more ships more pollutants in the environment.

All the heat generated & the Carbon dioxides in the environment are traped!!. Then the multiplication theorem applied. More energy, more income for the power & energy providers.....

Quicker the way we destroy ourself.

The pollutants cause inborn defects & cancers.....therefore we are doom to shotten our life.

More plastic is means more petrol by products, more polltuions.

In Mongolia the plastics & PVC recycling area, I am imformed for the next 100 years or so no grass can grow on their Grassland within 200miles radius!!

Well those in power in the various department are aware of it, but they would rather do something that the numbers is achieve than doing something which would show their bad performance resolutions.

That is the phenomenal everywhere.

These kind of window unit airconditional are contributing to the green house gas & more carbon in the Air.

It is transplanted the same technology to China & major 3rd world countries.

I am the advocator against those none energy efficent design building & construction & the installation of such Airconditional.

In Singapore when these aircon agging or having condensate the drips would naturally flow down to the floor, the owner of the aircon unit would be fine.

In my opinion these is not law of enforcement. However, that have been implemented for over 30 years I believes.

Climate change skeptics say it's hard to get heard

This article say about the scientists saying are hard to be heard!!

My experience is many activies like me is also hard to get heard!!

For example, few years back I promoting the Energy saving home & building home not using wood sticks. I have talk to many planner of cities, counties but I am facing the same word "Sorry"!! "We know oue job best, We cannot forgo our retirement benefits"!!

Well, please read further below:-


The following article from Reuters,
Wed Apr 18, 2007 2:15PM EDT

By Jeff Mason

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - skeptics of the seriousness of global warming complained on Wednesday of not being heard by the public or policy makers while warning governments to take a second look at the scientific consensus on climate change.

Scientists who doubt the scope and cause of climate change have trouble getting funding and academic posts unless they conform to an "alarmist scenario," said Roger Helmer, a British member of the European Parliament, at a panel discussion on appropriate responses to rising global temperatures.

"If global warming is happening, we can then ask: is it accelerating and is it likely to be catastrophic?" he said. "Many people think not."

European Union leaders agreed in March to try to cut greenhouse gas emissions by at least a fifth compared with 1990 levels by 2020 and as much as 30 percent if other industrialized and emerging countries joined in.

The EU pledge came shortly before the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which groups 2,500 scientists and is considered the world authority on the issue, said all regions of the planet would suffer from a sharp warming.

David Henderson, an economist at the Westminster Business School in London and former head of the Economics and Statistics Department at the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the OECD, said governments had given the IPCC a monopoly on climate advice.

"The very idea of creating a single would-be authoritative fount of wisdom is itself dubious," he said, urging countries to seek a more balanced approach than the IPCC and to stop pursuing programs to urgently reduce carbon emissions.

"In this area of policy it's high time for governments to think again," he said.

Mahi Sideridou, climate policy director at environmental group Greenpeace, rejected criticism of the IPCC.

"Saying that the IPCC is not balanced is probably the most ridiculous claim that anybody can make," she said, stressing the group's reports were based on scientific consensus.

The IPCC findings are approved unanimously by more than 100 governments and will guide policy on issues such as extending the U.N.'s Kyoto Protocol, the main U.N. plan for capping greenhouse gas emissions, beyond 2012.

Benny Peiser, a professor at Liverpool John Moores University, questioned the methods used by climate scientists. He said many were recognizing that using computer modeling to predict an "inherently unpredictable future" was illogical.

"Today's scientific consensus very often turns out to be tomorrow's redundant theory," he said. He said that scientific journals refused to take papers from scientists who doubted climate change.

Most scientists say climate change will cause seas to rise, glaciers to melt and storms to intensify, potentially leading to more natural disasters around the world.

This boat & house are real Green & sustainable products.

Last year, when I attended the conference on the sustainability.

An expert from UK, have study into the South East Asian & Chinese architecture, As well as the African , South American Natives buildings...etc.

He said to the attendees that those architecture of the legend are great projects as well as real thinking of Green & sustability!!

The Fully Automated Da-Ba In The Making



The Fully Automated Da-Ba In The Making

This is the greatest Dam in the world.

The Automated Dam would be the No 1 in the world.

But thinking of the event that Da Ba is done by act of god, all of US in West Coast of America, both North & South, Need not to say about the cities in Shanghai & Zhejiang Area would be under the water.

Few hundreds millions of people & beings would be re-union with the gods or Lords or return to Heavens & Hells.

As Lao Zi said:

The Most Harmony thing is Water.

Water Can afloat a boat,

& Water can capsize the boat!!

One can move the mountain,

However,

Don't ever plays with Water!!
