22-Sep-14 World View -- Israeli-Hamas peace talks to resume in Cairo on Tuesday

New climate change circus in progress

This morning's key headlines from GenerationalDynamics.com

Yemen's Houthi (Ansarullah) anti-government militias took control of many government buildings in Sanaa, Yemen's capital city, on Sunday, and then agreed to a United Nations sponsored peace agreement to end the fighting. However, some reports indicate that the fighting is continuing as before.

The Houthi militias are believed to be receiving weapons and training from Iran. Yemen is also the base of the Sunni jihadist al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), and southern Yemen is attempting to secede from Yemen.

The concern is that sectarian (Shia versus Sunni) violence will accelerate in Yemen, affecting the entire region. Gulf News and The National (UAE)

Israeli-Hamas peace talks to resume in Cairo on Tuesday

It's been a month since the Gaza war between Israel and Hamas ended with a ceasefire agreement, and part of the agreement was that peace talks would start in a month on the core issues. So indirect talks between Israel and Hamas are going to begin in Cairo on Tuesday. The talks are called "indirect" because Israel and Hamas don't actually talk to each other. They sit in separate rooms, and Egyptian mediators run back and forth between the rooms carrying messages.

Israel's demands are:

Hamas's demands are:

It seems unlikely that any of these demands will be granted. On the other hand, it should take about six months for Hamas to reconstruct its tunnels and restock its rockets, so we might expect a new Gaza war in six months. Gulf News and Jerusalem Post

New climate change circus in progress

Every couple of years, a new farcical climate change takes place, with pompous politicians saying that climate change is the biggest danger threatening mankind for now and forever.

On Sunday, the "People's Climate March" took place in New York City. Organizers claimed that it also took place in 2,000 locations worldwide, and that 310,000 people joined the march in New York.

I've written about these circuses many times. Let's summarize the climate change situation:

On Tuesday, the UN will host a climate summit in New York with 125 heads of state and government - the first such gathering since the unsuccessful climate conference in Copenhagen in 2009, that ended in total farce. ( "Climate change conference winds down with search for villains" The new conference will end the same way, with all the politicians running to cover their butts and blame other people. BBC and CNN
