        <description><![CDATA[Global climate change requires an international response under the UN system, in which USA should be a part. Individual countries are active through their national initiatives, but the cooperation and coordination required in scientific information sharing, technology transfers can come about only through the multilateral process. Doha conference next week should generate optimism and come out with sharper plans of action compared to the Rio+20 conference. Doha must aim towards tangibles and greater involvement of the private sector management skills through intergovernmental cooperation.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Advance warning systems will promote international cooperation in climate change, much more than mitigation and adaptation, it will be less divisive and political. With Kyoto on its way out in Doha, one should return to the basics. Fortunately, most developing countries are acting individually on climate change without waiting for Nortn - South cooperation.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Rather than confront the arrogance of man and admit there is overwhelming poverty leading to uncontrolled development in these parts of the world, people such as yourself, Edwina, find it more convenient to blame an abstract called global warming or climate change.  You are avoiding the truth.Multiple UN reports, written by people who have not bought into the global warming scam, have repeatedly pointed to the same problems as being behind the ever increasing danger of living in many large Asian cities.&quot;The increasing occurrence of disasters throughout the world is a commonly identified indicator of non-sustainable development.&quot;  (United Nations, 1994; Burton et al, 1993)Follow on UN reports in 2000, 2003, 2007, 2009 and 2012 all have the same findings with ever increasingly dire warnings of larger and more frequent disasters brought on by unsustainable development.   Not one mention of global warming or climate change in any of the reports.NY city and state officials were warned for decades of the type of flooding seen from hurricane Sandy. All of the scientists used historic flood records to warn against the significant development being done in historically flood prone areas. The most recent warning was in June 2012. The scientist speaking in June called 2011s hurricane Irene a warning before he went on to nail every flood zone down to the number of city blocks that would be flooded just 4 months later.He was scary accurate, yet they laughed at him and publicly mocked him when he predicted the NY subway system would become the worlds longest urban aquarium.Sadly he was RIGHT and people died because precautions were not taken and evacuations were not extensive enough.All his work was based on history, not hysteria.http://www.propertycasualty360.com/2012/10/29/nyc-the-most-dangerous-place-in-the-world-for-storPlum Island MA, Chatham MA, Norfolk VA, New Orleans LA, Saint Louis MO, San Diego CA, San Francisco CA, Portland OR and a thousand other places have chosen to blame local development issues leading to regional flooding on the evil of our day, global warming, instead of confronting the human arrogance of building where we should not.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I see the disinformation crowd is all out in full force again.US Republicans just can't learn that they will face extinction before many other species. It is a competitive world where the stupid goes extinct.Reversing climate change merely involve using less energy, adopt renewable energy, &amp; consuming less material rubbish. They are all very easy to do except for people in addictive denial.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[At one time the UN machine was honestly looking at the flooding problems in Asia without blaming global warming.The real problem is poverty and over development of flood plains.  Notice the dates of the reports mentioned predate the global warming hysteria.Another UN report in 2007 came to same answer.  Overdevelopment. http://www.jstor.org/discover/10.2307/3059653?uid=3739800&amp;uid=2&amp;uid=4&amp;uid=3739256&amp;sid=21101456760307Even in 2012 there is no mention of global warming at the more honest UN agencies.&quot;95% of urban population growth takes place in informal settlements with poor housing infrastructure, and on lands of last resort that range from railway tracks, coastlines, and flood plains to river banks and volcanic slopes - locations all highly exposed to hazards.&quot;http://www.unescap.org/speeches/reducing-vulnerability-and-exposure-disasters-asia-and-pacific]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Climate change crisis would have been a virtual comet hit of an emergency if it had been true, (Since nothing besides nuclear war could be worse-deny that please?) and it has turned out obviously to not be the crisis science claimed it might have been. -IF it were a crisis the world would be in a global emergency status and the millions of people in the global scientific community would be leading the mission to deal with a climate crisis and probable death of their own children, not just ours. -If it were a crisis the news of this coming crisis would be the leading tag on social media and at the top of the news casts and not at the bottom. -The UN would have issued TV commercials and issued posters and bumper stickers because a little climate crisis is impossible. The exaggeration of climate change was astounding and history is already calling this CO2 madness; climate control omen worship; I see the signs of change. The change is all around us]]></description>
