Australia has given the green light for extension of the Abbot Point coal loading
facilities in Queensland , which
involves dumping millions of
cubic metres of dredged material on the Great Barrier
Reef and huge
new mines . Just today,
a Bali contact reported that a
free fortnightly newspaper for
expatriates recently asked why do so
many Chinese have bruises on their foreheads. The supplied
answer said that because
there is so much carbon dioxide pollution in the air the
Chinese can only see three inches
in front of them
and frequently bump
into each other ,
bruising caused when they bow to apologise .
