Oil platforms (StatoilHydro)

I’m normally not your average aggravated person, but I suppose my last post got me going, fuelling my currently sombre view of our nation’s state. We are indeed holier than thou in every respect, negotiating peace wherever we go — or so we think — and (and this is just too amusing) fly to Bali in order to instruct the world of the environmental hazards of flying.

I don’t know about you, but coming from a country whose economy depends on the exploitation of the world’s natural petroleum and gas resources… How do you rate its credibility?
