Vote Now for Worst Corporate Lobby Award on Climate

by: Eileen

Mon Nov 30, 2009 at 15:18:26 PM EST


Click here to cast your vote in the Angry Mermaid Award and help decide which company or lobby group is doing the most to sabotage effective action on climate change.

Voting is open until Sun., Dec. 13, 2009. The winner of the Angry Mermaid Award will be announced in Copenhagen on Tues., Dec. 15, 2009.

"Crucial UN climate talks take place in Copenhagen this December. While people, organisations and social movements around the world are calling for strong action to prevent climate change and ensure climate justice, big business has been lobbying to block effective action to tackle the problem, while also seeking to benefit from it. Lobbying is defined as attempting to influence the decision-making process.

The Angry Mermaid Award has been set up to recognise the perverse role of corporate lobbyists, and highlight those business groups and companies that have made the greatest effort to sabotage the climate talks, and other climate measures, while promoting, often profitable, false solutions.

Named after the iconic Copenhagen mermaid who is angry about the destruction being caused by climate change, the Angry Mermaid Award winner will be decided by a public poll. Read the story of the Angry Mermaid.

How does NASA affect climate change? NASA recently carried out a mission to determine if there was water on the moon, granted it was by dropping a bomb on the moon, but it was confirmed. There is indeed water on the moon, or rather, there are ice particles. This means some degenerates are going to try and see if anyone is dumb enough to want to buy moon water - meaning ice that sits under tons of dirt and rocks, and gets irradiated by the sun and other radiation in space constantly, and if you drank it - say hello to radiation poisoning and losing a kidney! So whatever you do, don't go to a money lender to start selling bottles filled with the water on the moon. Does it really have to do with NASA? What about our Health care costs?

Microsoft Office 2010 is greedy, but it is not fair when drive user crazy. Also, the full featured access to pdf is a plus - but this is in 2007. My Office 2010 was set to "Automatic Update, my "Home & Student Office" Package wasn't included Outlook, but after I installed the package, at the Shutdown time, window7 keep issueing "Update Error" every time.  When I bought Microsoft Office  I had the same problem, all I had to do was call a certian number, type in the key and the problem went away.Outlook 2010, like almost everything else, has lessened the quality of it's service Look deeply into the Microsoft outlook 2010 messes, I have found that it tried to update the Microsoft Office 2007 app. which was not available, that why error raise. Also, I've had an absence of crashes - with complicated documents and spreadsheets - which used to crash on Office 2007
