Londoners breath such toxic air that they will be forced to pay a special tax imposed by the EU

In its relentless drive to create a better world, what has humanity wrought?

William Wordsworth, whose sonnet composed upon Westminster Bridge, September 3, 1802 extolled the clarity of London's "smokeless air," would have been surprised.

Earth hath not anything to show more fair:
Dull would he be of soul who could pass by
A sight so touching in its majesty:
This City now doth, like a garment, wear
The beauty of the morning; silent, bare,
Ships, towers, domes, theatres and temples lie
Open unto the fields, and to the sky;
All bright and glittering in the smokeless air.

Never did sun more beautifully steep
In his first splendor, valley, rock, or hill;
Ne'er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep!
The river glideth at his own sweet will:
Dear God! The very houses seem asleep;
And all that mighty heart is lying still!

Well we may have polluted the air, the oceans the rivers and the soil, but surely we no longer write such dreadful poems.

Mish: Depression? It's here

Mish: The Economist "Rising Government Debt is a Ponzi Scheme"

The chart shows that, in terms of debt, the only healthy economies are the fast growing cheap labor economies such as China, Brazil, India and Russia.

There is no way out of the depression without resolving the disparity in wages between the cheap-labor economies and the high-wage developed economies. Ultimately, the solution will be found in massive devaluation of the Euro, US$, etc. brought about by money printing.

Mish thinks otherwise because he believes that Governments of developed nations will not do as Robert Mugabe did in Zimbabwe, namely to steal every penny ever saved.

However, governments will find the necessary incentive to rob citizens both rich and poor, either as the result of an expanded war that threatens Western hegemony, or a revolt of the masses driven to despair as a consequence of steadily worsening unemployment driven by relentless outsourcing of both production and service jobs to the low-wage economies.

WORLD SUMMIT NOTEBOOK: Fakelakegate takes the cake

The thing is, the fake lake cost $50 thousand, so where did the other $1 billion plus go?

Consider this: Suppose the average delegation had 100 members, which means a total of 2000 people to be hosted and kept secure. Assume it cost a thousand dollars a day per person for board lodging and security, then the total cost would have been $2 million per day plus $50,000 for the fakelake, far short of the actual cost of $1.2 billion.

So say it cost $10,000 per person per day for board, lodging and security. In that case the total cost would still have been only $20 million per day, or say less than $100 million for the entire meeting -- less than 10% of what was actually spent.

So how much did it cost per person: something like $200,000 per person per day. Blimey, they must have given everyone a one of those refurbished Leopard tanks for security during the meeting and to take home with them afterwards.

Will Obama push for a carbon tax?

A modest proposal: Obama should abolish the corporate income tax and replace it with a carbon tax and a financial services tax

This would be a highly intelligent move.

The cut in corporation tax would give investment in American manufacturing a huge boost.

The carbon tax would set off an investment boom in energy conservation, cause the price of oil to fall and reduce America's massive trade deficit.

The financial services tax would compel the parasites to return to society a portion of the blood they have extracted.

But then a fellow doesn't reach the top of the greasy pole by showing imagination. He gets there by doing what his backers funded him to do and for which they will reward him after he leaves office.

BP's Deepwater Oil Spill - Energy and Commerce Committee's Letter Outlining Risky Practices

The Committee's letter appears to present a devastating indictment. If BP CEO Tony Haywood attempts to justify what was done, it will surely appear that BP does not know its business. If he admits that what was done should not have been done, it will be an admission that BP's management failed disastrously. In either case, Haywood seems to have no option but to resign. Almost certainly there are a number of others in the chain of command who also need to be replaced.

An entirely different corporate culture must be imposed. To prevent rash and irresponsible actions everyone in the company must be empowered to resist what they believe to be a dangerous decision. The idea that what the top guy says always goes, must be totally refuted. It has to be the responsibility of everyone engaged in a dangerous operation to exercise judgment and act on it when necessary without fear of retribution.

Cameron warns Obama over criticising BP

it was clear the difficult subject of BP's value as a FTSE 100 standard-bearer undermined by White House pressure ...

First Obama bullied BP into signing away its right under American law to limit cleanup costs to $75 million - that's million with an M. This concession alone will cost BP billions - that's billions with a B.

Then the Administration imposed a 6-month ban on deep water drilling contrary to the technical advice given and then demanded that BP pay the wages of workers thus made redundant.

Then Obama repeatedly insulted BP CEO, in effect demanding his resignation.

Now Obama wants BP to stop paying dividends, a move that would damage BP shareholders in two ways. First, the concession would imply that BP lacks the resources to pay for the cleanup, meaning that it is essentially bankrupt, a contention completely unwarranted in view of BPs enormous portfolio of assets and massive cash flow, and second it will lessen the market value of the company simply by lowering the dividend yield.

At this stage, the cause of the accident is unknown. There is, therefore, no justification for the Administration's drive to destroy BP, an effort which if successful would no doubt benefit Obama's Wall Street friends and financial backers.

It is time for BP to tell Obama to go piss up a rope. David Cameron should have made that clear in his conversation with Obama today.

John Hofmeister, former President of Shell, answers questions about the BP oil spill

Yuma, Ariz.: What are the chances that the well casing below the sea floor has been compromised, and that gas and oil are coming up the outside of the well casing, eroding the surrounding soft rock. Could this lead to a catastrophic geological failure, unstoppable even by the relief wells?

John Hofmeister: This is what some people fear has occurred. It is also why the "top kill" process was halted. If the casing is compromised the well is that much more difficult to shut down, including the risk that the relief wells may not be enough. If the relief wells do not result in stopping the flow, the next and drastic step is to implode the well on top of itself, which carries other risks as well.

If BP's accident could have happened to anyone, then BP was simply unlucky and cannot be held responsible for the fact that deep-water drilling is now deemed too hazardous to permit.

For the Administration to claim otherwise, sugests that it is intent on destroying BP, either from sheer malice amounting to lunacy, or to assist favored parties in the looting of BP's assets.

NOAA: Under water oil plumes confirmed: They're 99.99995% water

NOAA Administrator Jane Lubchenko said that the tests conducted at three sites by a University of South Florida research vessel confirmed oil as far as 3,300 feet below the surface 42 miles northeast of the well site and also oil below-surface oil 142 miles southeast.

Lubchenko said the analysis "indicate there is definitely oil sub surface. It's in very low concentrations" of 0.5 parts per million.

The concentration of oil is very low. Earlier, we estimated that the oil plumes must be more than 99.99% water. We were right. In fact they are more than 99.99995% water, or to put that another way, one liter of oil is dispersed in over 2000 tons of water. In fact mostly, the oil component of the water is measured in parts per billion or parts per trillion and if found in drinking water would be certified safe in accordance with US Federal drinking water standards.

So basically the "oil plumes" are not plumes of oil. They are plumes of water in which oil constituents can be detected with very sensitive equipment.

And one other thing, chemical analysis indicates that little if any of the oil is from the Deep Horizon spill.

NOAA Has not confirmed the existence of underwater oil plumes originating from the Deep Horizon spill

Imagining the Worst in BP’s Future

According to the independent panel established to estimate the size of the leak, the Deep Horizon well was initially releasing between 14 and 19 thousand barrels per day, which increased by 20% with severance of the broken riser.

Taking the mid-range estimate of 16,500 barrels per day plus 20% and assuming the leak continues without containment for 90 days, the spill will total just under 1.8 million barrels or 300,000 tons.

Assuming that penalties, compensation claims and clean-up costs amount to $10,000 per ton, the total cost to BP would be $3 billion, or $10.00 per liter. Yet some people are projecting a total cost ten to twenty times that much. Does that seem reasonable: $100 to 200 per liter?

It is true the spill might be larger than 300,000 tons if the relief wells fail to intercept the flow, or if the rate of leakage increases due to sepage to the surface through the compromised well casing or failure of the blow out preventer.

However, if capture of most of the leaking oil is achieved within a matter of days, then the total spill might be little more than 100,000 tons.

The fact is, the Israeli mind has been closed since the founding of the state of Israel. It is just that when it comes to squeezing the Palestinians out of the last bits of territory that they possess the struggle becomed more desperate and more deadly.
