Global warming is definitely here.  The naysayers can pound sand all they want to but it doesn't change what is happening all around us. Nancy It is definately here.. Pacific Island nations being surrounded by the sea have seen first hand what the Global Warming can do. Change in the temperature, sea level rise, cyclones getting stronger every year and we only pray that it does not get any worse than that.

k2ce4 Rain fall is off the charts for these areas for this time of year.  You have our prayers from Vanuatu. we got hit with a massive category 5 Cyclone with winds up to 250 km/h on March 2015. we pray for the families affected by the Hurricane.

I've been following the events in relation to the statue for some time now, and I have to agree it is art, it took someones time, skills and sweat to create a masterpiece such as Nancy's Pic here. I am from the Pacific, our ancestors were taken as slaves to Australia working in the sugar cane plantation and left there. Now they are proudly living in Australia as citizens, they do not look back to the past with hate at what the Black Birders did to our ancestors but appreciate what we have at present, but still remember where we truly came from. I am not saying Americans should do the same, we all have different ways of seeing things,but be reminded that they are not the only ones who had to suffer as slaves, all black people were slaves. but we should be proud that as slaves our ancestors built their citites, changed the course of history. so let them have their monuments, like this particular fellow, he lost the war. If there are those who support slavery in the present times, then we can say they are stupid, uncivilised and still in the dark ages. soo to answer your question Nancy OShea​ this is art, to remove or not to remove will entirely be up to the Americans, but as a descendant of once slaves, I say leave the monuments they are History, it is the neo-nazi and KKK we should be worrying about. ...
