Global Warming of Pacific Islands
A recent article in Western Leader started me thinking.
It appears from COP22 that Climate change has become a fact of life. It could be irreversible and continue for the next century.
The ratio of free oxygen in the air is 20% but the ratio of carbon dioxide has risen from 0.04% to nearly 0.1% which is what could be causing the change in climate. .
So to rebalance the planets ecosystems we need less carbon dioxide and/or more oxygen. Well, it could be the planets answer is to melt the tundra and permafrost around the poles to supply more oxygen but this will cause global warming and will surely cause the melt ice to increase the average ocean level a little.
In anticipation of this, governments everywhere should ban building within a metre or two of todays high tide sea level and plan for the evacuation of low level residents to new towns at a safe height above sea level.
Pacific Islanders particularly should not delay, as any outside assistance will be too late to avoid the flood disaster occurring but by all means play blame games to get green money from developed richer nations to clean up the damage done to their island.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
