A time machine would be nice..........Except I'd still be me doing what I did then.......

Don't shed a tear for the past....it's gone.......just cherish the memory and learn from it........

"be here now"... - babba ram das

True dat!!! We gotta deal with what we have now and make some changes. Mother Nature doesn't play by our rules...she has her own agenda. Gotta respect Mother Nature and do all we can now....to make the change!

Love those two pictures, South Beach and Negril. They say it all about why I would always choose a beach in Jamaica.

OK Kahuna3 you are right. No comparing Miami and Negril. Stats from Mainstream Media 1980 (40,000) visitors to Negril Beach, 2010 (400,000) visitors. Negril has not yet become South Beach which is a great thing. South Beach dates back to 1910, 104 years ago. Negril was virgin back in the 1970's 44 years ago.

The point that those who really care about the future of Negril Beach is that a consensus of right practices and levels of conservation have to be incorporated and maintained to save the beauty that is there.

Like Cap says don't shed a tear for the past but save your tears for the future cause at the current rate walking Negil Beach becomes more difficult every year!!

Where did I say that I don't care about the future of Negril? You must have assumed that because I dared to question the Hypocrite, Gore-ist dogma of the 'Environ - Alarmists'. I care very much about the future of Negril, brother. I always have and always will, until the day I die. I also care profoundly about the environment as a whole. As a mountain biker, I spend a lot of time gloriously deep in the woods, ensconced by nature - streams, trees, bird song, the wind sighing through the leaves, the dirt, the mud and the rocks. And I am as blissfully happy there as I am walking the beach in Negril.

But I'm not one to blithely accept the herd-raving of the Chicken Little-ists. I read, I watch, I question, I reason. Then I come to my own conclusions. I wish more people would do the same rather that swallowing the whole climate-change enchilada. One doesn't need to subscribe to the tenets of the new religion of 'Environmentalism' (and it is a religion) - to care about the world we live in, although followers of the faith will brand you a 'Denier' (Apostate?) if you dare question anything. There is absolutely no questioning the beliefs of this new religion, and in that way it is truly a faith.

You say it's getting difficult to walk the beach. I saw in another post that you said you haven't been to Negril for a while. If you'd been there last year, you'd have seen that there was more beach to walk on than has been there for many, many years. Same thing goes for this year. How can the 'Environs' reasonably explain that? Difficult, I know, because it's not how the 'Book of the IPCC' has called it.

You also imply that, given another 60 years Negril will look like South Beach. If you really believe that, mi friend, you have a lot to learn about Negril.

Like Cap says don't shed a tear for the past .........CLIP...but save your tears for the future cause at the current rate walking Negil Beach becomes more difficult every year!!

I never said any of the words after the CLIP.

Please don't put words in my mouth.

My views on the Negril Beach are well known. From 1969 until today. More hotels and people with all that comes with it. However the beach seems to be about the same give or take a year year here and there

My mountain still looks the same though

I agree with you Cap; however one of the worst threats is global warming and all the severe weather that is resulting. Here is a link to a short documentary recently produced by the Canadian CBC on severe weather around the world in the last few years and the likely effects which is very scary.

I used to be in climate change denial, then I did some real research on my own, and I'm not anymore. The evidence is overwhelming, and something like 95% of peer reviewed journals back it up. That's tough to argue against.

[Kahuna3]

Back in the 70's 'THEY' told us there was going to be an ice age. Check it out. Now 'THEY are talking global warming. Hmmm.

Back in the 80's 'THEY' said that we would soon run out of food becuase of the 'population bomb'. Huh, didn't happen.

Back in the 90's there was the 'Peak oil' theory - we were about to run out. Huh, now we are awash in oil.

Back in the 2000's that said that were were going to have global warming, Huh, no warming for 18 years.

This board is not the forum for this exchange. So, peace out.
