Pro-whaling nations win vote to resume whale hunting

Global Warming has been talked about for many years but now it seems that many of the early predictions such as the melting of the Arctic ice shelf and extreme weather are now a reality.

Many political figures around the world have accepted that Global Warming represents an inconvenient truth that must be faced and many are campaigning serious to globally cut human generated greenhouse gas emissions.

The pro-whaling nations won their first vote towards the resumption of commercial whaling for 20 years.

The latest meeting of the International Whaling Commission backed a resolution calling for the eventual return of commercial whaling by a majority of just one vote.

Japan, who were pro-active in securing the victory said that the outcome was "historic".

Conservation groups expressed dismay at the outcome and have urged all nations to work harder to prevent the decision from being ratified. For the 1986 ban on whaling to be lifted it needs support from three-quarters of the commission.

Japan and other pro-whaling nations want to move the International Whaling Commission away from conservation towards managing whale numbers.

Most scientist agree that the numbers of certain species of whales have now reached pre-ban numbers and so could support controlled commercial whaling.

Do you think that the ban on whaling should be lifted?

How serious are the effects of Global Warming?

Global Warming has been talked about for many years but now it seems that many of the early predictions such as the melting of the Arctic ice shelf and extreme weather are now a reality.

Many political figures around the world have accepted that Global Warming represents an inconvenient truth that must be faced and many are campaigning serious to globally cut human generated greenhouse gas emissions.

Emerging countries such as China and India are reluctant to stifle their economic growth and President Bush has publically announced that he is only interested in focusing on technologies that deal with the issue.

Sceptics who argue that the global climate is merely in the midst of a natural cycle are now faced with strong evidence that indicates that global warming is accelerating proportionally to the human output in greenhouse gasses and that there will become a point when the damaged caused is irreversible.

How serious do you view the issues surrounding Global Warming and do you think your own government is doing enough to address the problems?

Can England as the tournaments second favourite match their potential and claim the crown of the sport they invented?

What is almost guaranteed is a fair share of controversy, some breath taking skill and disappointment for thirty one teams and elation for one.

Who do you think, and who would you like, to win, and who do you really not want to win?
