³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ

I wonder if the Chinese would break off trade talks no matter what the demands of the US would be.
Any diruption of trade would strangle Chinas economic birth but it would not ruin the economy of the US.
I think that we Americans need to get some backbone and stop cow-towing to China.
In the end we all will need each other, the sellers of inexpensive products and buyers of same.

There are few media figures that would draw my attention as sharply as Sir David. He does not rattle empty cages!

I respect his concerns on the ever-accelerating rate of energy consumption, together with the fact that renewable energy does not even come close to fathoming the gap.

One angle that none of the media gurus seem to be actively reconciling with oiul extinction is, "what do we use to make plastics from when we gas-guzzle our last litre?" The developed world cannot surely give over enough crop area to manufacture plant oils in anything like the quantity we currently would need!

Then, of course, there are the other issues of bio-diversity - in particular, the rate of extinction of (more tangible) larger life forms - let alone the essential micro-organisms that predetermine our sustainability on Earth.

Sir David's call for reduced consumption could buy us a little more time - if the call was heard - and lived! - globally!

I fail to understand what David Attenborough and his feelings about global warming have to do with the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ to warrant you putting it into the '³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ In the News' section.

I watched Coast tonight and it featured the essex and thames coast lines. Apparently there is a sunken ship in the estuary off Sheerness with bombs on board and there is a dilema regarding the disposal of it.

I have a suggestion which might be very costly although any other option might also be very costly. Could this be put to the powers that be:

Would it be possible to tunnel under the vessel and then collapse the tunnel so that the ship lies at a greater depth. Then blow it up.

Re WASTE OF ENERGY.

I would not presume to disagree with Sir David Attenborough.
I would say that such a crusade would have to include most of the leaders of the medium to large nations and, to give it any chance of being effective, they would have to act within a few years.
What does history tell us about such a possibility? Probably that the Earth will act first and any remainder of mankind will watch in awe.

When I first saw the headline naming the killer the 'Ipswich Ripper' I thought what an idiotic thing to do. This killer has now been put in direct competition with his predecessors, Jack the Ripper and the Yorshire Ripper. He has already reached the status he desired, to be notorious, to be infamous and to be labbelled a 'ripper' now he has to carve out his own name, he has to be bigger, better and more frightening than these killers have ever been before.

I think it is irresposible and playing directly into the phsycopath/sociopaths hands.

He is unashamed by his actions and this is perhaps the most frightening aspect of the case. Killers who feel guilt usually try to hide the corpses of their victims or even dismember them as backward a move as that sounds. This killer does no such thing, he puts these poor women out like the trash he believes they are, he leaves them naked, exposed and in the open. He is saying 'look what I can do! I am beyond reproach and I am in control'

His desire to kill is such that he cannot suppress it, he will continue to kill until he is caught, whether it be in Ipswich or somewhere else. The killings are close together in both proximatey and time. He feels untouchable right now and perhaps the only way he can sustain that feeling is to kill again.

These are young, beautiful women who were not dealt a kind card in life and they are being made to seem less that that, even inhuman because of where their lives took them. Yes bad choices were made, but these girls were driven there by circumstances and people only too happy to take advantage of them. They are real people, with real families and they had real lives - that have cruely and terrifyingly snatched away. Who are we to judge how they lived and who is this killer to see himself as judge and jury and to exact a cruel, evil punnishment on young women who are innocent...

It is sad that they were made to feel so desperate as to what they did to themselves, it is the people who led them there who committed the unforvigivable acts. These women were simply driven by desperation, the drug pushers, pimps etc... were driven by nothing but greed!!

I wonder whether this killer sees himself as some sort of avenging angel, I should think that when he is hopefully caught he will certainly claim that. But I think this 'person' is simply seeing them as easy targets, a way to satisfy his hunger for death and sufferring. His own greed and social incompetance are a driving force. He wants to be nortorious and unfortunatly in essense the media has no choice but to play right into his hands.

No serial killer suddenly becomes one, this person has been nurturing the lust for death and will no doubt of killed before in a similar way but now he just can't stop himself. The liklihood is that it is a man, statistic and logistics tell us this. But the police do need to keep an open mind. I would imagine he travels with his job and possibly has some sort of military/martial art training, because of the way he kills. He may just have researched, but he knows how to asphyxiate someone instantaniously, he has learned that from somewhere.

I would encourage anyone with any doubts or wonderings about someone they know to come forward with the information, and if you have your suspicions and live with them, check what sites they have visited - they would no doubt of been following the case very closely, may of been looking at other similar crimes, would probably be looking at cases of old, such as Jack the Ripper etc... and would have an interest in asphyxiation etc...

It may be nothing but it just may be something...

These women are just that and no one has the right to steal their lives from them and them from their friends and families lives.

The media and the police need to push that message accross. I have heard people say awful things about these girls, I have heard bad taste jokes, and it is disgusting that we live in such a judgemental, unfeelng society. I just hope and pray that someone will come forward with information and put human life first.

"Sir David Attenborough has called for a "moral" crusade against wasting energy." Am I the only one who sees the pure irony of this statement? The statement itself is a waste of energy. That's all the world needed, one more voice telling us about global warming and the dangers we all face if we don't do something about it soon. Sir David, with all due respect,.....I think all of us have already gotten that message. What we need is for someone to tell us how to do it in a way that will be universally regarded as fair, effective, and won't trade a looming worldwide ecological disaster for an immediate worldwide economic disaster. So far, nobody has come up with an answer to that. Come back when you've got one.
