Definition - What Is the G20?

Stay Informed! "What Is the G-20 anyway!?

The G-20 was formed in 1"999 to give developing nations more of a voice in forming the global economy. Its members include: the eight leading industrialized nations - U.S., Japan, Germany, UK, France, Italy, Canada and Russia (also known as the G-8).

Eleven emerging market and smaller industrialized countries: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Turkey, plus the EU.
Together these countries represent 90% of the world's economy.

Why Is the G-20 Important?:

The growth of Brazil, Russia, India and China (the BRIC countries) has driven the growth of the global economy. The G-8 countries grow slower. Therefore, the BRIC countries are critical for ensuring continued global economic prosperity.
In the past, the leaders of U.S. and Europe could meet and decide on global economic issues without much interference from the BRIC countries. However, these countries have become more important in providing the needs of the G-8 countries: Russia provides most of the natural gas to Europe, China provides much of the manufacturing for the U.S., and India provides high tech services.

Hot Air - Obama administration signs new SWIFT deal with EU

"Remember SWIFT? The New York Times exposed American efforts to track terrorist funding through the global banking system in 2006, leading to an almost-immediate cessation of cooperation from our Western allies, including Canada, thanks to the publicity it generated. The fact that it was both legal and effective didn’t change the minds of editors at the NYT in running the story, part of a series of exposes the Times ran on the Bush administration’s efforts to find and destroy terrorist networks around the world.

With the Obama administration now signing a new deal to pursue financial transactions through SWIFT, will the Times be a-changing?"

DID YOU KNOW THERE WAS A 100% CHANCE OF AN EARTHQUAKE TODAY!

YES! There's a 100 percent chance of an earthquake today! Though millions of persons may never experience an earthquake, they are very common occurrences on this planet. So today -- somewhere -- an earthquake will occur.

It may be so light that only sensitive instruments will perceive its motion; it may shake houses, rattle windows, and displace small objects; or it may be sufficiently strong to cause property damage, death, and injury.

It is estimated that about 700 shocks each year have this capability when centered in a populated area. But fortunately, most of these potentially destructive earthquakes center in unpopulated areas far from civilization.

Since a major portion of the world's earthquakes each year center around the rim of the Pacific Ocean (Ring of Fire), referred to by seismologists as the circum-Pacific belt, this is the most probable location for today's earthquake. But it could hit any location, because no region is entirely free of earthquakes.

Stating that an earthquake is going to occur today is not really "predicting earthquakes". To date, they cannot be predicted. But anyone, on any day, could make this statement and it would be true. This is because several million earthquakes occur annually; thereby, thousands occur each day, although most are too small to be located. The problem, however, is in pinpointing the area where a strong shock will center and when it will occur.

Earthquake prediction is a future possibility, though. Just as the Weather Bureau now predicts hurricanes, tornadoes, and other severe storms, the NEIC may one day issue forecasts on earthquakes. Earthquake research was stepped up after the Alaska shock in 1964. Today, research is being conducted by the USGS and other federal and state agencies, as well as universities and private institutions. Earthquake prediction may some day become a reality, but only after much more is learned about the earthquake mechanism
