US rules out joining Kyoto treaty The US has told a UN conference on global warming that it has no intention of re-joining international efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions. The chief American negotiator at the conference in Argentina's capital Buenos Aires ruled out any move to sign up to the Kyoto Protocol for years. He told reporters that efforts to cut emissions were based on bad science. The US was focused instead, he said, on implementing President George W Bush's plans to promote energy efficiency. Harlan Watson, who is leading the American delegation, told a news conference that this was not the moment for the US to reassess its policies. He said US President George W Bush had a 10-year programme to reduce the carbon intensity of the US economy by 18% by 2012. The government was totally committed to carrying out the programme and wanted to wait to see the results, he said. But Mr Watson admitted that even if the US achieved its target, it would still be producing 15-16% more greenhouse gases while the rest of the industrialised world was committed to an absolute reduction.

Kilroy-Silk attacked with slurry Euro MP Robert Kilroy-Silk has had a bucket of farm slurry thrown over him by a protester in Manchester. "The UK Independence Party member was arriving for a BBC radio show when the attacker emerged from behind a bush. "Fellow guest Ruth Kelly MP was also hit by the slurry. Mr Kilroy-Silk said the man, who later disappeared, claimed he was "doing it in the name of Islam". ... He told reporters he was "very angry" and planned to press charges if his attacker was caught. He said the man shouted: "You've offended my religion, I'm doing this in the name of Islam." "As I started to turn round a guy tipped a bucket of farmyard muck over me and then threw the rest of it over me and the car," Mr Kilroy-Silk said. "I was totally covered, it was all through my clothes, and it stank to high heaven. It went all inside the car and splattered Ruth Kelly."

"Analysts Jupiter Research found that a quarter of web users said they spent less time watching TV in favour of the net." " The biggest jump was in Italy, where it rose by 120%. Britain was close behind, with broadband users almost doubling in a year." "The threat to TV was greatest in countries where broadband was on the up, in particular the UK, France and Spain, said the report. It said TV companies faced a major long-term threat over the next five years"

Hate the Band Aid Single?
Posted by joe (8 Comments)	Thu Dec 2nd '04 01:12:23 PM
Yesterday's release of Band Aid's revamped version of the, ahem, classic Do They Know It's Christmas has put many charitable souls in a bit of a quandry. The fact is, you want to help the Sudanese refugees by supporting this excellent cause, but the single is, well, crap. Technically, this is known as the Band Aid Dilemma - a disturbing condition in which the natural instinct to help those less fortunate than yourself battles the primordial desire to avoid dreadful pop like the plague. So, what's the solution? Fear not, help is at hand in the form of the Band Aid Dilemma online resource. Here's how it works: "You want this record to succeed, because you feel for the plight of the refugees in the Dharfur region of Sudan and this project is funding aid projects on their behalf. However, you hate this recording and feel your musical ego looming and refusing to be bruised. The answer? * Buy as many copies of Do They Know It's Christmas by Band Aid 20 as you can afford. * Destroy them in amusing ways, on camera. * Send us the pictures. Charity. Violence. You know it makes sense." Excellent. We hope that this admirable initiative will considerably swell the Band Aid coffers while ensuring that as few copies of the record as possible escape into the wild. Go to it. ®
