This sprawl of pebble beaches and zillion-dollar houses has always captivated sun lovers and socialites. Today's admirers know not to miss the Côte d'Azur's textbook points of interest: animated St-Tropez; the Belle Époque aura of Cannes; the towns made famous by Picasso—Antibes, Vallauris, Mougins; the urban charms of Nice; and a number of spots where the per-capita population of billionaires must be among the highest on the planet: Cap d'Antibes, Villefranche-sur-Mer, and Monaco.

Here is a montage containing various photographs of Berlin taken by a friend who asked if I would like to make some music for it.
I wanted to use a mixture of synth as well as orchestral sounds to fit the various moods throughout the video. This is because working with this combination presents a slightly different challenge: orchestral instruments on their own pretty much balance and mix themselves really as the orchestra is a well-designed instrument in it's own right and is a well-trodden path. In an orchestra, each instrument has it's own particular function, frequency range and timbre meaning each has it's own space to sit in (although there is overlap if you need it). This 'personal space' ensures each instrument get's it's voice heard with clarity and/or effect because building up similar frequency ranges and incompatible timbres can lead to a confused and 'muddy' (unlcear) sound. Synth sounds don't really come with this control as such because any synthesizer can create such a huge range of sounds on their own and therefore output any range of sound frequencies; it is up to the musician to make the instrument focused and efficient in it's intended area by adjusting it's controls.
As the combination of orchestral and synth sounds can sound pretty cheesy, I made a conscious effort to stop that from happening by thinking about the sounds that I needed to use for effect. The synth sounds weren't replacing orchestral sounds as such (which would be a sensible choice as they could just slot in this well-honed instrument), but had an atmosphere to convey. Orchestral instruments could have done these jobs (although slightly differently) but the overall effect is a precise mood that I wanted to convey.
Well, there are the reasons for my intended path on this one! Please have a watch/listen below and let me know what you think. If you would like me to do something similar for you, or you know somebody that would, please do get in touch.

in response to paul_vincent_zecchino:
Thanks for reading. Appreciate your comments.
Aren't anti-gun cultists amazing? You state the world is round? They deny it. Show them photos of spherical planet Earth. They change the subject and make idiotic insults.
They can't defend a thing they say by means of facts, nor will they listen to any.
They keep burping the same old phony baloney anti-gun 'studies' such as the one in the link, this one by a Mr. Moroz. His 'study', to use the word loosely, is stuffed with logical fallacies, weasel words, vague generalities, and other leftist propagandist tricks. It's impossible to know where to begin debunking it, it'd be like cleaning out the Augean Stables.Suffice to say the so-called 'atlanticcities' study this guy cites is just plain old fashioned bunco.
Check out the post below yours. Yet another anti-gun braniac repeatedly and falsely asserts that gun owners have many enemies which is the reason why they want guns.
Talk about a revealing statement, eh?Is he speaking projectively?
Leftists accuse others of what they themselves are planning and doing. Conversely, to know what the Left is doing and planning to do, all one need do is listen to its endless projective harrangues against its many enemies.
The Left speaks as do crime syndicates. If you know how criminals speak, how they're always projecting onto others, you'll immediately recognize the same pattern in the language of the Left.
Can you think of any other group which counts so many people, institutions, and concepts as its enemies as does the genocidal, idiot Left? Neither can I.
Everything the Left says is nonsensical, taunting, and projective.
As such, one needn't argue what it falsely considers to be statistics or any other of its idiot 'talking points', because the Left isn't on the level.

Best doggy treat!
By Roll Tide Family
from Centreville, Alabama
Our pup is very particular about his treats and he loves these! Whether you use these cookies as a reward or a regular treat your dog will love them, too! They are baked like real people food and look delicious. Our pup is our child and we only give him the best. He will actually go to his pantry and show us what he wants and he always wants his Canine Cuisine Cookies!

Two of my sons have dogs and so it was nice to find something appropriate and not too expensive. They were packed nicely, had a good presentation and the package was larger than I expected.

Look just like regular cookies!
By Running All the Time
from Charleston, SC
My mother ordered these for all of the dogs in the family! She then got confused and gave them to her grandchildren for a pre-Christmas treat! They were so good, my 7 year old ate three. Grandma ate two this morning with her coffee. My wife, tried one, thinking it was unusual to shape them like bones, and figured out these were dog biscuits! We are thinging about getting grandma some "MilkBone" dog biscuits for a Christmas treat! The dogs, after we figured that they were for them, loved them! So did the kids!
looked good & dogs ate immediately
By Sharky's mom
from Lake Havasu City, AZ
This product is wonderful to give my best friend a reward to show him that I love him. He has never responded to a training goodie this well. I took some to the dog park and now the dogs just love us. They come to greet us even though I just gave them the treats a couple of times.

Matchbox jewellers
On Tuesday night I attended a launch at Matchbox Studios in Wellington which showed the two exhibitions of contemporary jewellers, Camille Walton and Mieke de Court.
Although the exhibitions ran side by side, the works of the two designers couldn't have been more different.
The main idea behind Mieke's jewellery making is to take random and overlooked objects such as chair legs and doorknobs and give them new life as beautiful pieces of jewellery.
Pictured left: Mieke with her mother, Pippa de Court.
Camille takes inspiration from her painting background, where she tries to capture certain aspects of painting such as form and colour, which she literally turns into wearable art.
Although the two designers are both inspired by different ideas, a real genuine originality can be seen throughout both of their works. I will definitely keep an eye out to see how the works of Camille and Mieke will evolve. The pieces really do speak for themselves, and you can see Mieke's Facebook page Mieke de Court Contemporary Jewellery to see more.
Below: Peter Deckers and Camille Walton. Peter is the Whitireia jewellery coordinator and tutor to both Camille and Mieke.

"Yes, cooking prosciutto does make dishes salty, but the taste of this dish is actually quite mild and pleasant to my palette." — Chef John
Watch video tips and tricks
1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 ounces minced prosciutto
ground black pepper
1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
1 pinch salt
4 eggs
1/2 lemon, zested and juiced
1 pinch ground black pepper
What an excellent breakfast this made! I toasted a slice of baguette in the pan that I cooked the Prosciutto in which was a great addition. My asparagus wasn't very thick so it only took about 10 total to roast. Thanks for another great recipe, Chef John.
What an underrated recipe! This was the best asparagus recipe I have ever had the pleasure of making and eating. The egg part was a bit tricky to make but on the second try it came out perfect, just be patient with that part if its your first time cooking your egg in such a way. Watch the video its very helpful.

Just finished this dish and loved it. Minor changes - used bacon since that's all I had on hand and didn't use any oil, just a little bacon fat w/the bacon pieces and salt and pepper on the asparagus. As someone else mentioned - great low carb dish and healthy (if you don't use too much bacon;). Next time I might try some grated Parmesan on top.
This was really very good! Invited my daughter and grandkids over for breakfast, everyone loved it. Thanks!
Amazing combination of flavors. Wonderful for our low carb diet!
I had this for dinner tonight with a baguette. It's great for one person but also easy enough to make for a group. Don't skip the lemon zest at the end!
I used just normal supermarket ham and it was still great!..Thanks for a great recipe. Since I made it for lunch, I ate it with Sirloin steak :)

Great 3BR condo. Nice pool, not 5 star resort pool, but nice enough. Remember, it's mexico, so a little quirky, but was a fabulous stay for our family. For... example, almost almost impossible to find from main road, poor signage. A/C was also a little sketchy, and it's not a hotel. All this being said, it was awesome. Definately need a rent-a-car. Take them up on the available boat rental, it's a beautiful boat. by a Hotels.com guest on 06/26/11

#11: Meyers Leonard
With the eleventh pick in the 2012 NBA Draft, the Portland Trail Blazers selected Meyers Leonard from Illinois. Last season, Leonard averaged 13.6 points, 8.2 rebounds and 1.9 blocks. Throughout the pre-draft process, he emerged as one of the best big men in this draft class after solid workouts and impressive interviews.
In recent weeks, executives fell in love with Leonard's potential. The 7'1 center turned 20 years old in February, and he's still very early in his development. He'll be somewhat of a project for Portland, but he has a lot of upside and room for improvement.
"It's just an unbelievable feeling, first of all, to be considered one of the top prospects in this year's draft," Leonard said. "They have got a great organization, a good staff and I'm just going to come every single day and work as hard as possible."
After drafting Damian Lillard with their first lottery pick, Portland went with Leonard to fill their second-biggest need. Leonard will be able to start at center for the Blazers next season.
"I'm going to come in and be a sponge and work as hard as possible," Leonard said. "Obviously, with Portland, they have LaMarcus (Aldridge) at the four and I'm going to have to come in and prove myself first and foremost. But knowing that I have an opportunity in front of me to quite possibly start or just even be a factor in games my first year, it's a great feeling. But at the same time, like I said, it's going to take a lot of hard work and dedication and learning a new game."
He's extremely athletic with a decent touch offensively. He'll continue to improve his post-up moves. Defensively, he's imposing with his impressive length, quickness and mobility.
Leonard is somewhat raw – he's still working on his understanding and feel for the game. At Illinois, he was inconsistent at times and he battled with foul trouble. However, as he continues to develop and mature as a player, these concerns should go away.
"I didn't have any guarantees," Leonard said. "I just had my fingers crossed coming in. It's a very exciting time for me and I couldn't be happier than to be picked by the Trail Blazers."

Year marked a break in Bush-Clinton continuum
The Daily Briefing
Buckeye Forum Podcast
The Dispatch public affairs team talks politics and tackles state and federal government issues in the Buckeye Forum podcast.
Your Right to Know
For the first time since 1981, there was neither a Clinton nor a Bush on either the departing or the incoming presidential ticket.
In 1981 and 1985, it was George H.W. Bush as vice president to Ronald Reagan, followed four years later by Bush as president.
In 1993, with Bush looking on, Bill Clinton took the oath as president and again four years later in 1997. Then, a departing Clinton took to the inaugural platform in 2001 as George W. Bush was sworn in.
Bush had a second inauguration in 2005 and then witnessed the inauguration four years later, in 2009, of Obama.
Clinton and his wife, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, did join lawmakers and other dignitaries on the inaugural platform yesterday. Former President Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, also attended.

What a beautiful idea....Thanks for sharing!
Love the memory jar idea - I can't imagine mine looking that tidy though.
Was not surprised to see that the Vacation Memory Jar came from Martha Stewart. No wonder it looked sooo perfect.
But I love the idea. Perfect for upcoming Spring Break with the kids!

NEW YORK (MainStreet) As the economy slowly recovers from the 2008 financial crisis, a new study shows consumers will still spend more money this holiday shopping season than last year.
Deloitte expects holiday sales to grow between 4% and 4.5% this year to a range between $963 and $967 billion.
While these numbers are positive, last year's holiday spending growth was also 4.5%, showing how anemic the economic recovery is, according to Deloitte's senior U.S. economist Daniel Bachman.
Still, stagnant growth in holiday spending and GDP isn't the type of news economists had hoped for five years after the recession.
Plus, the Federal Reserve's decision to continue its bond buyback program at a monthly pace of $85 billion shows how the economy is still in need of training wheels, at least for the next few months.
On the employment front, while the jobless rate is on a slow and steady decline, this comes on the heels of more and more people leaving the workforce. The labor participation rate is at its lowest point since 1978, which doesn't bode well for an economic recovery.
Adding to the economic uncertainty, political gridlock in Washington, D.C. continues to worsen, as fears of a government shutdown loom and yet another debt ceiling debate looms large.
While reaching the debt ceiling would cause interest rates on credit cards and mortgages to increase, political arguments typically don't impact consumer behavior.
"If consumers are employed and have income, they'll spend it," Bachman said. "For the most part, political sideshows in Washington is background noise for consumers."
Regardless of what's going on in the economy, making sure you keep your spending in check this holiday season is of utmost importance.
With a little over a month remaining until the holiday shopping season heats up, now is the time to establish a budget and reassess your spending.
Financing your holiday shopping with credit cards is a recipe for financial disaster, especially if you leave balances on the cards and double-digit interest rates kick in.
Once you set a cash budget, keep track of the retailers' deals in the store circulars and take advantage of price comparison tools both online and on your smartphone to find the best deals.

Vicki Gunvalson In Murder For Hire Plot
Have you ever heard of someone who is just a regular person ever hiring a hitman and getting away with using them? It never works. Invariably the person hired goes to the cops or the cops are the ones the person doing the hiring calls and gets involved in a police sting. It never works out. Ever. Brooks is suing the guy for defamation saying it never happened and that he would never hire anyone to kill someone. I tend to believe the business partner. I also wonder if Brooks was doing this, if Vicki knew. I know she didn't know about the cheating and that Brooks kept things from her to some extent, but I don;'t see how she could not have known what was going on. Was the guy going to turn up dead one day and Brooks was not going to tell her his involvement? Was he keeping her informed every step of the way? Where is the criminal investigation?

TALLAHASSEE -- Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll's surprising resignation spares Gov. Rick Scott a decision that increasingly looked inevitable: to drop her as his running mate in 2014.
Carroll looked good in 2010 when Scott, a political neophyte, had little else going for him other than his vast personal wealth. Her military record and race brought diversity to the ticket, but in office she turned into a political liability by violating a cardinal rule.
She became an embarrassment to Scott and a distraction from his agenda.
The CEO-turned-governor who takes pride in hiring the right people was forced again to see a top appointee step down, this time in disgrace.
It's particularly embarrassing because Carroll was Scott's public partner and represented his first big political decision.
"It's very disappointing to have to bring this news to you," Scott said Wednesday. "My focus, as you know, is getting our state back to work."
Scott has parted ways with state agency heads who flopped, hired three chiefs of staff in 18 months and overhauled the communications shop that shapes his message.
And as he has tried to shift focus from his controversial about-face on Medicaid expansion to his more popular goal of increasing teachers' pay, Carroll's resignation drowned out other messages and horrified Republican activists, adding new turmoil in Scott's world.
"This entire thing was such a shock," said Cindy Graves of Jacksonville, a friend of Carroll's and president of the Florida Federation of Republican Women.
In their first appearance after winning office in 2010, Scott, with Carroll by his side in a Fort Lauderdale hotel ballroom, said: "Jennifer and I are going to surround ourselves with absolutely the best people out there."
Then, one by one, eight agency heads came and went in Scott's first two years, and with the uncertainty of the 2014 election approaching, more are expected to leave.
Slowly but surely, the Scott-Carroll pairing looked awkward.
The latest sign of Carroll's growing irrelevance came last week. In Scott's annual State of the State address to the Legislature, Carroll merited a passing one-sentence mention. The Miami port director, Bill Johnson, received more time.
Scott called Carroll "tireless" Wednesday, and once described her as the hardest-working lieutenant governor in the country. But if she was, it was hard for anybody to see.
She had few duties other than chairing a board promoting the space industry, and every time she made news it seemed to be negative, to the point where it was widely believed Scott would have chosen someone else to be his running mate in 2014.
He dodged that question Wednesday.
"It doesn't matter now," he said.
Carroll is a former lawmaker who was used sparingly to push Scott's agenda through the Legislature. She's an African-American who was largely silent when black lawmakers recently assailed Scott's record at hiring minorities for judgeships.
Most embarrassingly, she's a decorated 20-year U.S. Navy veteran whose downfall stemmed from ties to Allied Veterans of the World, which authorities say was a criminal enterprise that exploited veterans to make money. Allied Veterans was a client of Carroll's public relations firm.

I think this route is a three-star-classic on a worldwide scale. The Hose may not have a postcard view or alpenglow ambience, but the climbing is spectacular, and there is always plenty of air below your heels. This route is dangerous at the bottom and will humble most any dry-toolin' psychopath, but at the top it gets fat and widens out to a steep slab of blue ice clinging to the black wall. Approach: 1 hour. Start at the power plant and find a trail which heads towards the lower Ames Falls (don't take the right fork down to the base of the Ames Practice Area and base of Ames Falls), and walk past the top of them to the railroad tracks which run through the canyon. Follow the tracks away from the highway until you are at the bottom of the drainage where the climb forms up on your left. You can see ice from where you need to leave the railroad tracks. Follow the steep gully to the base of the climb. Pitch 1: 120' WI4+ to M6 VS Yikes. Conditions vary greatly on this pitch and it can be anything from a difficult mixed climb with no pro to a WI 4+ pillar. When I belayed Mike Ivie up this pitch in 2000, it was WI5 with some sections of thin ice and was reasonably well protected, this is not usually the case. If there is no ice or if it is too thin to climb, head up to the right of the ice (or wet spot) and bring some small wires and some huge nuts! There is a bolted anchor at the base of a gully that diagonals up and right. There can be a protected nook from which to belay on the right. Pitch 2: 200' WI4-5 Head up the gully to the right to a large ice covered ledge below the spectacular upper pitches, and belay from screws on the right side of the ledge. Be very careful not to knock ice on your belayer at the base of the gully!! Pitch 3: 200' WI 4-4+ *Classic* Follow the best looking line up the massive ice flow in front of you. Save some screws for the top and belay off of a tree on the left hand side of the flow when the ice turns to snow. On a warm day, this pitch can run with water. Descent: 3 double rope rappels starting from the tree and following the left hand side of the climb. The 2nd rap is off rock slings on the left or V-threads if you have 60m ropes. You may reach a 2 bolt anchor with 70s. The last rap is from the bolts on top of the first pitch. Allegedly, there is a walkoff far left, but it looks arduous.
A few stubbies and a bunch more screws for the upper pitches, small wires and TCUs for the first pitch. Please do not add any bolts to this climb!
In Alpinist 18, p. 20, there is a writeup by Michael Kennedy about the FA.
The 2nd pitch can be more serious than the 1st, again conditions-dependent. At the end of November 2001, we climbed the M6 variation to the 1st on the right, then about 80 feet of the 2nd pitch. This involved two good pieces of pro, a cam and a 17 cm screw inside of a cave in the back of the gully (offwidth size cave), with no ice and no pro for the next 50 feet. I would have guessed M6+ X. I've also seen pictures where this pitch looks WI4. Awesome route.
It would be nice not to see any current conditions...(photos) posted about this route as the first and second pitches don't stand up to a lot of ascents thin, patchy, sometimes discontinuous - i.e. normal conditions). After seeing the full on cow trail on the approach and several parties vying for position the other day, it appears that some of the ice park craziness is starting to spread into some of the more quieter ice locales of the San Juans. Nothing wrong with that but...stupid internet....
It seems some a-hole decided to add a shiny new bolt to the rock start to the first pitch. The bolt was placed right next to a bomber stopper placement. The tool actually had the balls to tie the fixed stopper that was in place to the new bolt. The whole pitch takes good gear wherever you want it, and where the bolt is placed does not really protect the leader from hitting the ledge at the start for very long. I'm all for clipping nice new bolts on mixed routes, but this is a long established route that sees dozens upon dozens of ascents each year. Mugs would be roling over in his grave. It's probably already been chopped.
Dude who bolted it is Chuck Burr. Lives in T-ride. If anyone has a problem with the bolt, you are ecouraged to call him. A good opinion on this can be found at www.skywardmountaineering.com, Vince calls it like he sees it and hits it on the head. The Hose isn't the ice park and shit.
I made a solo ascent of this route in February 1997 ('98?), I went up the ice bit at the bottom, so I haven't done the mixed start. This is one of the best "long" routes I have done in CO (along with Bridalveil), a good, steep, relatively remote and serious route. I am not really clear on why this alternate start keeps receiving a new bolt. A friend of mine did this mixed start last season and informed me that the 1st bolt had been chopped. Also, that the dry-tooling was pretty reasonable. Am I missing something here?
This is in the top 5 climbs I've had the pleasure of climbing. When it's in, "get on it" >>>>
Is this new bolt true or is it a troll? Did Chuck Burr go against the opinion of the whole climbing community? What is this guy thinking? Say it ain't so!
The FA was done in January 1976 by Lou Dawson, Steve Shea, and Michael Kennedy. Volume 18 of Alpinist has a great description written by Mr. Kennedy.
Pretty drippy 2nd pitch on 12/15 - never seen so much water on this route. Guess all that rainfall in Oct. Should be huge come Feb. Definitely prefer the patchier conditions on this route as it makes for some wild climbin'! Thanks to the person who pulled the bolts, however the holes need to be patched as they are butt ugly. I'll take a hike up there in the spring-summer and do it unless someone beats me to it. Hopefully those feeling the need to bolt this have given up. - Miles Newby
Conditions on 2/17/07 are very fat. We climbed it in 2 pitches with 70s. It's a rope stretcher to make it to the belay ledge on the first pitch if done this way. 2 raps from the top (with 70s), and you're back on the ground. Absolutely sweet climb!

Does anyone know what kind of rock the Ice Hose is on? I've not climbed much in the area nor do I know much about geology, and I had no idea what that stuff was. From afar it almost looks granitic, but up close I couldn't have told you if it was quartzite or limestone. Anyone know?
Although this was my first ascent of this classic I'd say it was very fat. There has been a bit of traffic on it so it shows the wear and tear making it easier than what I am sure it is most winters. Top of the upper slab is where the freshest ice is and consequently the most attention to your feet. The first pitch is fat and cruiser. Must do climb!
Apparently the rock is Rhyolite, which according to Wikipedia "can be considered as the extrusive equivalent to the plutonic granite rock, and consequently, outcroppings of it often bear a resemblance to granite." Good to know.
When you park at the power plant, park all the way on the right in front of the trees and not in front of the buildings.
Good shape all the way, pretty hacked up on pitches 1 & 2 but still good climbing. Definitely a classic. Lots of tat on the anchors, lots of anchors, could probably use a bit of a clean up? Also, we accidentally left a pair of BD Punisher gloves at the very top; set them down next to the tree anchor and then rapped off, totally forgot them. We'd be psyched to get them back. Cheers!
Got dragged up this in January of 2012, and it was in pretty good shape. The first and second pitches remind me more of mixed climbing even though it's ice. The last pitch I tried to lead but bailed. It's freaking entirely vertical for 100+ feet. At the WI4 rating, it's probably true but very intimidating. I would suggest being very comfortable on WI5 lead before you think about taking on this classic.

Let me just start this post by explicitly stating my views on the upcoming Rio+20 convention, set to kick off later today in Brazil, which may hold the keys to a future radically different from our current one, either for the bad or good. I wholeheartedly hope and wish that something good comes from this meeting of leaders, that a proper binding agreement, with goals, punishments and harsh realities, one that actually kicks our lazy society into gear truly does rise from the ashes and usher in a new day; I would love nothing more than for this to be accomplished, and I have always thought this.
However, whilst hoping for this, I believe in an entirely different outcome - that nothing useful, meaningful or optimistic will result from Rio+20, or any future global event, and that not only will it simply prove to be a stage for multiple nations to bicker and fight for three days straight, but will also prove to give nothing towards to the future we want.
I nurture this gut feeling from past experience and current knowledge of the structure of such conventions on environments, energy and development. Most, if not all of the past +whatever conventions have resulted in absolutely squat, with the Kyoto Protocol the only real agreement I've seen which may have actually made a difference to our global society, and even that is set to die this winter without any hope of a successor. Add to this the fact that multiple powerful nations, of which I feel I do not have to name, have continually proven to be like children stubbornly refusing to go to bed, blocking all hope of a unifying agreement on anything from carbon emissions to green job investment. None of this has changed this year.
In my opinioin, when Rio+20 finally opens it's door to its many leaders and closes it behind them, all that will proceed will be a mad scramble to see who can shout the loudest, point the straightest finger and pull the angriest face. Think of it this way; when you have some of the most powerful people in the current political and economical sphere, all whom harbour untold morals, ethics, hidden motives and plans under their bonnets, and who have all their life grown up not listening to others but actively seeking to control them, it is daft not to think nothing whatsoever will be accomplished. Continuing with this notion, it is not hard to stretch the imagination to the point where it is simply children fighting over a candy bar.
To take us back down to earth once again, consider this approach. Some leaders will want clear goals on emission reductions, such as Europe and Japan, some want advances in renewable energy investment and green sector growth, some want CCS and natural has to take centre stage, whilst others simply want to end the whole thing there and then and go back to their fossil fuel rich lands without legal requirement to stop pillaging them. You cannot expect to put so many powerful voices against one another and expect a resoundingly democratic response to come out of it, and that is the horribly unfortunate truth of the matter, one I've tried to ignore for so long.
Thinking along these lines, it staggers me to think how anything ever got done through this mass gathering process, and yet progress of a small calibre has been made in some areas. REDD+ was at least recognised and drafted in the mid-noughties, Kyoto set tough but realistic emission goals and the backing of giants such as US and China finally came on board to at least listen to the rest of the world in the past several conventions. These made future gathering look like ever closer to the final 'this is it' moment, when a real, legally binding, sustainable agreement would be ratified by all involved. But here lies the problem. Every time one fails to achieve what it set out to do so, everyone simply shouts that the next one is when it will really happen, and that waiting another year for something to result is perfectly acceptable, despite the ravaging the environment undergoes during this time.
This time however is looking just as bleak as the last, with many nations causing trouble across the entire board. The US has effectively rewritten the initial draft in favour of vague terms and practically pointless prose, whilst the UK has ruined its own climate policies and energy roadmaps with slashes in prices and restrcutrings entirely unnecessary. Couple this with the current economic crisis, elections and Euro woes keeping Obama and Cameron from even attending the talks, and highly destructive logging and fossil fuel practices in Brazil, the host nation for the damn convention, and we have a perfect storm of absolutely zero progress in any direction.
Despite this, there is perhaps a glimmer of hope. This year, the talks are party to the first attempt by a globalised social network of concerned citizens and supporters to actively influence decisions on the global stage. The endfossilfuelsubsidies Twitterstorm, Avaaz, 350, Rio+Social and multiple other outlets have all acted together to slam home how much this means to the global society, and that we desperately want our voices heard by each and every leader.
Alongside this, more and more nations now recognise the extreme threat that warming climates, rising seas, carbon emissions and biome degradation really carry, and with the science only getting stronger, there is less room for them to squirm around in and avoid the real issues. Perhaps, with a determined and combined pincer attack by the socially active public and the obvious knowledge that we have screwed with our planet for too long, something may actually come from Rio+20, just something.
I'm certainly not thinking of anything truly legally binding and goal-setting, but just maybe, a draft which demonstrates that our global leaders, the rich who hold the power to change how we treat this world, have listened for once, and considered what their public have to say. For me personally, a true decision on redirecting fossil fuel subsidies into renewable investment is my highest of priorities. The only thing that rides higher than this, is that we finally realise that by flunking this convention, we cannot hope to believe the next one will be 'it', because it won't be. We are rapidly running out of time for these events to be occurring, so something must be done now.
