災變二○一二
氣候峰會遽轉樂觀
十二月七日即將在哥本哈根舉行聯合國氣象變化會議。一百九十二國、近六十位元首能達成協議嗎?大家認為全球暖化是碳排放太多。窮國要富國帶頭減碳排放量,美國做不到。九七年京都議定書,美國參議院沒通過,破功。中國○六年躍升碳排放總量冠軍,卻自認為人均收入低,是窮國。帶頭減碳?不幹!
2012與全球暖化
美國航太總署(NASA)上周再次駁斥世界將於二○一二年十二月廿一日毀滅的說法。其實,電影《2012》固然過分誇張,但是NASA全力為安定人心,說法也故意忽略一些科學事實。
近來美日關係急速轉變。
第一,今年十月底,美國國防部長蓋茲訪日,要求日本政府儘快實施沖繩美軍遷移駐防地點的協議,然而日本卻強硬拒絕。於是蓋茲回絕了日本防衛大臣的邀宴,也不出席日本儀隊的致敬典禮,場面尷尬。

ON DECEMBER 9, 2003, in the presence of visiting Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, President George W. Bush broke significant new ground in
U.S. relations with China and Taiwan. Having pledged in April 200l to do "whatever it takes" to help Taiwan defend itself, Bush changed tack, reaffirming U.S. support for maintaining the status quo in the Taiwan Strait. Of even greater significance, he rebuked Taiwan's president, Chen Shui-bian, stating that "the comments and actions made by the leader of Taiwan indicate that he may be willing to make decisions unilaterally to change the status quo, which we oppose."
