Now that's what I call an avalanche – Serre Chevalier

The global-changing decisions that are taken by governments around the world in the quest for sustainability are a catastrophe for humankind in the long-term. Two of these decisions at the forefront of news presently are biofuels and carbon capture and storage.
Biofuels – the fuel revolution that will supposingly help us
1. Growing crops in the USA for biofuels takes around the same energy input for fertilisers and processing the crop as is saved by replacing petrol on the forecourt (Biofuels – A solution worse than the problem, Daily Telegraph).
2. By harvesting the peat bogs for biofuels we release 30 times more carbon dioxide than will be recouped by burning the biofuel produced (Prof. Jack Riely, University of Nottingham)
3. Growing biofuels takes a lot of land and huge amounts of water, neither of which the world has to spare.
4. China and India risk famine if they proceed with their biofuels plans, because they don't have enough water to grow both fuel and food (International Water Management Institute).
5. Biofuels are killing forests and leading to more global warming besides taking land away from food crops (Global Forest Coalition).
6. The diversion of land meant for food crops to agrofuel production is a “crime against humanity” (Jean Ziegler, UN's Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food).
Carbon Capture – Putting off today what others will have to solve tomorrow
1. Carbon sequestration and storage (under our oceans and land) is an untried method of locking up carbon dioxide forever but where there is not a 100% assurance that it will not escape in time. The possible escape routes can be through earthquake, land shift, terrorism (holding the world to ransom) or human disaster/accident.
2. Sequestration and storage of carbon dioxide is not a solution, but a problem that humankind will have face in the future. Indeed, eventually one that would threaten the existence of human life itself on Earth for nothing ever designed has lasted forever.
3. Governments as usual are only looking at solving problems today without any understanding of what this will bring in the future. Indeed, making matters far worse in the years ahead for future generation’s to basically suffer at the hands of their creative neglect. It is an attempt at locking up gasses that are toxic to humans and leaving any problems to future generations to solve and fix.
4. If ever there were a rupture in the storage vessel, the ramifications for the world would be immense to say the very least. Therefore it is a technique of putting off today what others will have to fix tomorrow philosophy (that is if they can).

I do appricaite Dr. David for his concerns professional updates/ feedback on Pamirtimes. A BIG thank you Doc. I wonder if our youth from Gilgit-Baltistan are thinking to go for studies in universities abroad including where Dr. David is teaching. We need to influance G-B governmnt to allocate budget for young people to attend short/ long term courses in natural disaster issues.

an absence of disaster and accident, the reassuring knowledge that no one in the community has anything against us, that the power above or below can dominate or hinder us, and that in Moslem/Christ a social and a cosmich peace will be achieved.

Actually I can't really remember a disaster or an accident in our village. Fortunately we live in an area which is quite safe. However, we are surrounded by mountains and there is also a big river running through our tiny country.

But my father told me that we had a big forest burn in the year I was born. He remembers this day very well and even a film (video tape) of this disaster was made. It must have been dangerous to bring it in order and at the same time it was pretty impressive. The reason why the forest caught fire I can't remember. But it is said to be the worst fire burn in Liechtenstein.
