#1 Bugger global warming, I'm still in shock over those 600 foot high tsunamis that swept over Western Australia in the not to distant past.

#2 Fred, either you ban this guy or face up to the fact that your inline commentary crown is at risk.

the proliferation of deadly weapons

Aahhhh … Scamper for your very lives! There’s a .22 bullet on the floor of that shop’s doorway!!! Run away! Run away!

Experts are demanding swingeing cuts

The cuts aren’t swingeing if you aren’t whingeing!

It is a cesspool of thieves, hate-mongering misanthropes, and self-serving elitist whores

Ummm … you left out 'graft-riddled anti-American socialist dilettant assholes'.

#3 UN chief Kofi Annan demanded that world leaders give climate change the same priority as they did to wars and to curbing the spread of weapons of mass destruction.

World leaders demanded that UN chief Kofi Annan give to wars and curbing the spread of weapons of mass destruction the same priority as climate change.

There. Fixed it.

#4 .com has always been the MAN when it comes inline and non-inline comments. The rest of us are mere pretenders/shadows on Plato's cave.

#6 Gaza did its part already by taking an axe to its greenhouses. No more e-e-e-evil gas emanating from Gaza. The rest of the world should take note. And send some cash to the Paleos, the Zionists won't let them eat.

#7 Lyrics here

Its time to make a song about kofi...
Somewhere to define his shifty ways..

Maybe this Blue Oyster Cult song can stimlulate a decent rendition of this shyster.

"Then Came The Last Days Of May"

Parched land no desert sand, sun was just a dot
And a little bit of water goes a long way, 'cause it's hot
Three good buddies were laughing and smoking in the back
Of a rented ford
They couldn't know they weren't going far

Each one with the money in his pocket
Could go out and buy himself a brand new car
But they all had the money they had
Money they hoped would take them very far

The sky was bright, a traffic light, now and then a truck
And they hadn't seen a cop around all day
They brought everything they needed
bags and scales to weigh the stuff
The driver said the border's just over the bluff

It wasn't until the car suddenly stopped
In the middle of a cold and barren place
And the other guy turned and spilled
Three boys blood, did they know a trap had been lain?

They're ok the last days of may, I'll be breathing dry air
I'm leaving soon, the others are already there
You wouldn't be interested in coming along, instead of staying here
They say the west is nice this time of year

#8 The United States, meanwhile, which walked away from Kyoto in 2001, is being scrutinised for any gesture towards the pact in the light of last week's US elections, in which the Democrats wrested control of Congress away from President George W. Bush's Republicans.

Uhhhmmm, nope. Try again. We walked away in 1997/1998, when it was defeated in the Senate by a 90+% vote, and that was under Clinton's watch. When even the UN's own climate "experts" say even IF we'd implement Kyoto (at the cost of BILLIONS of $ alone in the US), it would only slow the increase by less than 1 degree C, then you've gotta watch the money pot. Even more so, now that Annan's pushing it.

#9 Water vapor is the worst offending green house gas.
I'm for stopping evaporation. Let's put an end to this dangerous practice now. Who's with me on this ? Let's get going. We have to save this planet. Oh, the humanities.

Well, generates water vapor, doesn't it? Who can we live without? :-)
