Further on Kea …

Do they let day-release folk work in the Public Service?

Would account for his hostility to the NZ police.

Now now Jack5, remember what happened last time you called me a liar. You don’t want to end up looking silly again do you?

nasska, even the front line staff can get infected by the prevailing culture in the public service, but most folk start out with the best of intentions and do work hard. I have done some pretty tough jobs, but this one is the toughest.

It is funny speaking with other government departments. They all say the same thing and the front line are all faced with similar bullshit. Your piece really does hit the nail on the head. That mentality and arse covering, are the at the root of it all.

A new scientific instrument has been discovered….the alarmists will probably seize on the idea & use it to produce some ‘suitable’ data….bastards! 🙂

What ???

Did you mean to say; hostility towards those who abuse positions of power and are thugs ? I think most cops would/do back me up on that one. Idiot.

Thank you, thank you Elaycee old chap! 🙂

I have planned to have the whole 10,000 bound (but not gagged) into a tome which shall form the founding document of the
“Church of Sheepology”.

I am about to hie me to a mountaintop in the Hindu Kush to finish meditating on my gospel but seem to have misplaced my Frenchwoman. 🙂

@Johnboy – sounds like a plan. Of course, if the Frenchwoman pikes, you could always ask the rate dodging, skunk cap wearing water woman to join you. Don’t you have a soft spot for her??? 😯

China’s decade-long boom in coal-driven heavy industry is about to end as the leadership shifts priorities towards energy conservation, say officials and policy advisers.

The advisers predict China’s coal consumption will peak at only a fraction above current levels after the State Council, or cabinet, last week set an ambitious new total energy use target for the five-year plan ending 2015.

“Coal consumption will peak below 4 billion tonnes,” Jiang Kejun, who led the modelling team that advised the State Council on energy use scenarios, told Fairfax Media.

“It’s time to make change,” said Dr Jiang, who is director of the Energy Research Institute under the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC). “There’s no market for further development of energy-intensive industry.”

The imminent stabilisation of coal usage, if broadly achieved, would mark a stunning turn-around for a nation that is estimated to have burned 3.9 billion tonnes last year, which is nearly as much as the rest of the world combined.

Griff, was there a point to that post about Chinese coal consumption ? Sure they do not want to be too dependent on one form of energy, but nor does any country. I can tell you one thing though, they are not worried about AGW and neither is India. Right there we have a huge chunk of the worlds population.

Oh and Griff, do not take anything the Chinese government says too literally. That would just be silly.

I copied the troll Kea’s Russian quotation (9.44 post) into an online translation site and the English meaning doesn’t seem relevant to anything else in the thread.

Explain Kea, or admit that you are poseur as well as a lying, disturbed troll.

Then take your valium and go to bed.

Jack 5, you really are silly wee boy. You can not translate backwards with a cut n’ paste like that. Most kids your age know that.

I guess you think all the others speak fluent Welsh then ? 🙂

Now best you get some sleep before mum comes. Its a school night and with your “difficulties” you cant afford to be tired. Just remember your very very special.

The troll Kea (10.51) says:

That’s not true. More bluster and lies confirm you are a poseur as well as a lying troll.

Both “backwards” and “cut n’paste” are irrelevant to online translation.

This is the second time today you’ve used the term “cut n’ paste”. Are you an old-time journo, Kea?

Jack5, as an autistic kid who fixates on things (eg: Kea) you like detail, so I will help you out. A person with a different point of view (eg: they do not approve of police brutality when you do) is not by definition a “troll”.

One more point, it is actually “trawl” though it is changing through common usage to troll.

Keep taking the meds and before you know it you will be out of the secure wing and in the day room with all the others. That compulsory treatment order will be gone before you know it. Hang in there.

“Oh and Griff, do not take anything the Chinese government says too literally. That would just be silly”

Yep Kea and he has failed to notice this report from late last year.

More than 1,000 new coal plants planned worldwide, figures show
World Resources Institute identifies 1,200 coal plants in planning across 59 countries, with about THREE-QUARTERS IN CHINA AND INDIA.
The capacity of the new plants add up to 1,400GW to global greenhouse gas emissions, the equivalent of adding another China – the world’s biggest emitter.

Ouch … that has gotta hurt the CAGW cause 🙂

axeman, Griff is a simple soul and the workings of Chinese politics are well beyond him. China and India are building Coal fired power plants at an incredible rate.

But it gets worse. Much worse in fact 🙂

The big climate question: Will the world build 1,200 new coal plants?

Climate scientists have sometimes warned that it could prove impossible to avoid high levels of global warming unless the world stops building new coal-fired plants. But that’s not a simple proposition. Across the globe, there are at least 1,199 coal plants now on the drawing board, according to a new report from the World Resources Institute…. in Europe and Japan, once-moribund coal plant proposals are being revived after nuclear reactors were shut down in the wake of the Fukushima disaster.
