Climate negotiations are a
con-trick<http://aworldtowin.net/blog/climate-negotiations-are-con-trick.html>
Suggested targets for cuts in greenhouse gas emissions are almost a third
below what are needed to avoid dangerous climate change, according to a
report from the World Wildlife Fund. That’s the reality facing the planet,
as negotiators at the latest round of UN climate talks in Tianjin, China,
wrangle over even these inadequate proposals.

International currency war under
way<http://aworldtowin.net/blog/international-currency-war-under-way.html>
The Bank of Japan’s decision yesterday to further reduce its close to zero
interest rate looks suspiciously like one of the opening shots in an
exchange rate war that will intensify the problems besieging the already
weakened major economies.

Tea Party brews up a political
crisis<http://aworldtowin.net/blog/tea-party-brews-up-political-crisis.html>
Only in America could a woman like Christine O’Donnell become, in the words
of *New York Times* columnist Frank Rich, “the brightest all-American media
meteor since Balloon Boy”.

Capitalism's crisis dictates the
cuts<http://aworldtowin.net/blog/capitalisms-crisis-dictates-cuts.html>
As the coalition begins to unveil its public spending cuts, the
muddle-headed idea that they are simply “ideologically driven” remains
fashionable, especially among those who think protest will produce a
government U-turn.

The continuing tragedy in
Haiti<http://aworldtowin.net/blog/continuing-tragedy-in-haiti.html>
Haitians are no strangers to natural disasters such as hurricanes and floods
but January's earthquake was much more terrible in its destructiveness. Yet
why, after all the pious promises in the wake of the calamity, is
desperately needed aid not reaching the people of Haiti?

Species loss gathers pace while the world
watches<http://aworldtowin.net/blog/species-loss-gathers-pace-while-world.html>
While the earth’s interconnected and interdependent eco-system faces an
existential crisis, a high-level UN conference on bio-diversity taking place
in Japan is set to take no action whatsoever to achieve goals set as far
back as 1993.

Crank up the printing
machine<http://aworldtowin.net/blog/crank-up-printing-machine.html>
Adam Posen, an expert advisor to the US Congress and an influential member
of the Bank of England’s monetary policy committee, is urging governments on
both sides of the Atlantic to print more money to rescue the economy from
impending disaster.

America's 'enemies within' number
millions<http://aworldtowin.net/blog/americas-enemies-within-number-millions.html>
“Imagine being among several hundred million people who wake up each day
having to prove they are not a ‘terrorist’ by whatever arbitrary means the
government has decided to both define the terms of such a crime.”

A victory for instability<http://aworldtowin.net/blog/victory-for-instability.html>
Perhaps the most telling statistic in the Labour leadership election was the
abysmal turn-out in the trade union section of the electoral college. At 9%,
it was lower than during the ballot for the party’s deputy leadership held
in 2007.

Frontline *The truth about species
loss<http://www.cbd.int/doc/speech/2010/sp-2010-10-01-rome-en.pdf>
*

The shocking truth about the speed up of mass extinctions of animals and
plants was laid out in advance of global talks taking place in Japan.
*Anti-Gypsy racism alive in Essex
too<http://aworldtowin.net/frontline/DaleFarm14.html>
*

While last minute attempts are being made to stave off the eviction
operation at Dale Farm, it now looks certain that a violent confrontation is
being forced upon residents by a merciless council.
