' protection against climate change ' ??? ' The Islands ' have always had good drugs and Big Religion .
We can stop ' climate change ' ??? We can change what has happened for millions of years before we even existed ???

There's nothing new about climate change. The only new thing about it is that the Earth has nearly 7 billion human beings on it and we can barely survive with the climate as it is. Any change may 'rock the boat' and things could become very unpleasent especially for countries with a fast breeding population and few natural resources.
I recon by about 2010 the brown stuff will hit the fan or probably earlier.

That's like the redneck sitting out on his porch during the winter screaming 'Global warming isn't real! I'm freezing my ass off!'

The United States should buy all of these islands and offer residents free transport to the country of their choice. Taken together, they make up about the same land area as the whole of the United States. Their are many uses to which they could be put, especially if the native populations are happily employed elsewhere.

Gaiacomm International terahertz technology can be used for IED detection and for wireless broadband communications. It also can be used as a replacement for SONAR, thus having considerations for the mammels of the seas!

You know half the highways in California are going to be underwater in 50-100 years and they won't do anything about that so why would they care about small islands? they do not give a crap about anything but making money and for that they need breeders to buy high density developments and all the garbage they sell us that ends up going stright to the land fill. There is no politician who will fix this, there is no party that will fix this. There is only one way and that is to have everyone stop breeding.
