Final negotiation on the joint implementation agreement of ITER concluded on 6th December 2005:
"With this achievement, the Delegations are pleased to declare that their work is finished, opening the way towards concluding the negotiations at political level." http://www.iter.org/N_12_Joint_Press_Release.htm
The news title should read: "Political Green Light..."
or else is old news...
And why is this submitted to Hardware? Is it because it was so HARD getting to this point?
Paramount Classics announced today that "An Inconvenient Truth" has grossed over $20 million dollars, making it the #4 highest grossing documentary of all time. As part of the campaign to encourage audiences to see "An Inconvenient Truth," Classics made an unprecedented pledge of 5% of all box office receipts to be donated to The Alliance for Climate Protection. With the success of the film, that donation will exceed $1 million dollars.
This reminds me of Mohamed ElBaradei,2005 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, Lecture in the Oslo City Hall, December 10, 2005:
Consider our development aid record. Last year, the nations of the world spent over $1 trillion on armaments. But we contributed less than 10 per cent of that amount - a mere $80 billion - as official development assistance to the developing parts of the world, where 850 million people suffer from hunger.
My friend James Morris heads the World Food Programme, whose task it is to feed the hungry. He recently told me, "If I could have just 1 per cent of the money spent on global armaments, no one in this world would go to bed hungry."
