Many States of Mind

Can they possibly outdo themselves any further? Hmmm, give them time since I’m sure they’ll come up with something.

Let’s see, their past, present and future construction projects include the Burj Al Arab, a hotel which at one point was the second tallest structure, or first since heck, who can even keep track?; the Dubai Sunny Mountain Ski dome which is just as you imagined, an indoor ski resort in the desert; Palm Islands, yup, artificial islands and coming right up? Brace yourselves now…that’s right! Air-conditioned beaches.

Now hey! Who am I to be complaining about or criticizing an economically crippled nation just because they, against better judgment, are hedging their bets on the luring of rich tourists? The last time I checked you’d definitely have to be rich to vacation there and why else would you have such luxurious undertakings as they have? Mind you I say ‘economically crippled’ since it’s no secret that Dubai is hanging by a thread these days.

If you’re still wondering what’s got me all riled up then hold tight since there really is a method to my madness. Any of you who’ve read my previous rants would know of where I stand when it comes to the Copenhagen talks and the United States’ pledge of tens of billions of dollars to developing nations in the name of ‘global warming’…errrr, I’m sorry. They’re calling it climate change now. The correlation I wish to make here is that as incredulous as it may sound, some Arab nations if not all will most likely be amongst the so-called developing nations seeking handouts.

I had to look up any references since I vaguely recalled reading about the notion.
As it turns out there’s a concern for “Reinforcement measures around Dubai’s coastline to be taken to avoid any damage from rising sea levels caused by climate change.”
It also would not take a rocket scientist to foresee the effects that a world turning away from fossil fuels would have on nations which have sustained themselves on their sales of oil.

Of course it would not matter to the UN’s ipcc (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) or other involved clowns whether or not there was the slightest bit of truth to today’s climate change arguments since in the end, saving the earth is the least of their sought out goals. Have myself already gone down that road of World Governance and such but I’ll be sure to revisit the subject again very soon.
