ETHNIC CLASHES INCREASE IN NETHERLANDS SCHOOLS

And they seemed shocked...

Immigrant and ethnic Dutch students are fighting in school more and more often. According to data from the education inspection, almost 40% of secondary schools had ethnic conflicts last year, an increase of 10% in two years.

There were ethnic conflicts between students in almost 250 secondary schools. Fights, discrimination and problems with extreme-right 'Lonsdale youth' happen the most in vocational and technical schools.

There's a marked increase of such violence in university preparatory schools (havo and vwo), where 30% of the schools deal with ethnic clashes, twice as many as a year earlier.

Just gonna get worse.

SYDNEY POPULATION TO GROW ONE MILLION IN NEXT 15 YEARS

The article doesn't mention where these immigrants are coming from and why?

SYDNEY'S population will grow by nearly 1 million people by 2021 due to the Rudd Government's expansion of the immigration program - putting huge strain on the city's public transport, health, education and housing.

A leading demographer, Bob Birrell, said the immigration intake would pump up the city's population to more than 5.1 million, up from about 4.3 million now and 350,000 more than planners had expected.

COLD WATER THROWN ON GLOBAL WARMING PREDICTIONS

And you believed in man-made global warming...I bet you stand around shouting "yes we can" too.

Antarctica hasn't warmed as much over the last century as climate models had originally predicted, a new study finds.

The new study, detailed in the April 5 issue of the journal Geophysical Research Letters, marks the first time that researchers have been able to give a progress report on Antarctic climate model projections by comparing climate records to model simulations. (These comparisons have already been done for the other six continents.)

"This is a really important exercise for these climate models," said study leader Andrew Monaghan of the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Co.

Monaghan and his team found that while climate models projected temperature increases of 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit (0.75 degrees Celsius) over the past century, temperatures were observed to have risen by only 0.4 F (0.2 C).
