Oh Please let the Pacific islanders look after themselves. That is catch the abundant fish around them and eat this rather than buying US junk food and killing themselves by doing so.
Seems to be they employ smart arse mouthpiece actors to drum up all this nonsense.
The oceans are not rising the Islanders are dying because of their poor life style choices and it is up to them to sort themselves out!

Who the hell paid for a load of ideologically brainwashed moneywasting Student Activists to travel to Durban? I suspect we all did. Why do we need thousands of 'observers' from all manner of dodgy Non government organisations to go there?

These conferences are all junkets for acolytes of the AGW religion and serve little other purpose. Now some nations are using climate change as reasons for mass migration to economically better off countries. All part of the UN's share the wealth agenda.

Oooh when I think of the money wasted on this crap!

Jayden,

Did South African President Jacob Zuma offer to resettle any climate
refugees from the Pacific Island nations?

Where's the need for translators?

English is an official language of Kiribatti, Tonga, Samoa, and Fiji.

Grow up you are talking with adults here.

Jayden,

You can tell who are the grown-ups on this forum by the pseudonyms they use....

I agree JBowyer that the Pacific Islanders can & should look after themselves.

I do not agree they are dying out. I took a Google earth cruise around my old stamping grounds, to the north & east of New Guinea recently. I was quite shocked at what I saw.

On many of the high [volcanic] islands the villages are much larger, but apart from the palm oil areas, much of the coconut plantations, flourishing 30/40 years ago are reverting to bush.

It is even worse on the low [atolls] islands. The loss of plantations is similar, but the growth in housing, & the huge increase in numbers of canoes, pulled up on the beaches shows a population explosion.

These atolls have a limited carrying capacity. Even the larger ones, with 200 or 300 square miles of lagoon it is really only the fringing reef that supports much fish life, & water is always limited. Some I knew with populations of 3 or 4 hundred must now be over a couple of thousand.

We may have to do some humanitarian work with these folk, who are breeding themselves out of a home, but it must be for the true reason, to enable the right solution.

Hey Poirot,

the wild celebration in the Labor Party following the passing of the Greens policy on Carbon Tax is odd. We see them still gaining around only 30% in the polls ... among the adults.

hahahaha
