I have a good friend who has family in Brisbane, last time her cousin was here i had the chance to speak to her and after her last visit in Brisbane she brought back about 5000 pictures of a two weeks holidays , about 20% of them from her family there and where they live. So I'm concerned about them, because my friend is concerned. If i look at the news I see mud avalanches in Rio de Janeiro, flooding in middle Europe because of thaw and blizzards in America, aside from the dramatic pictures of people either saving there lives or there property in Queensland. But I see that neighbours help each others as well and I see that people are happy who are saved and I see that those people there are helping each other to survive. They do the best in the situation help and after the catastrophe then they will get help too and I say that because i know that others around the world like me are worried about them and are happy if they get news from people that live there who we know and know they need help to rebuild what they have lost. My opinion on Global climate change in all above ( the flooding of Queensland, blizzards in America, the middle Europe thaw, mud avalanches due to heavy rain in Rio de Janeiro) mentioned water is involved so I'm pretty sure that that it has something to do with the melting of the poles. Due to political incompetence of our nations leaders the Kyoto Protocol ends 2012 and northing comes after that is at least acceptable to get the global changes of +2° Celsius (scientist that are less dependant from political founding are calculating with more) at least that will stop to reduce the sources of the melting of the poles that are an effect of the global climate change. Now I'm getting back to worry about my friends cousin from Brisbane.
