Trees govern best when it comes to climate change
Mankind on a “brink of disaster” - The UN Secretary General made this SOS call after he had read the IPCC latest report. All Governments are now fully informed, they will gather in Bali to discuss ways to avoid the abyss.
So far these meetings have produced nothing. A cup of tea with your friendly neighbour could do more to stop climate change then a gathering of world leaders in Bali. Especially if you both decide to stop cutting the lawn, effectively creating a carbon sink in your garden - lets see if this time is different. Amidst all the noise out there on climate change a very interesting proposal is coming from Guyana. The Independent newspaper reports the following:
“In a dramatic offer, the government of Guyana has said it is willing to place its entire standing forest under the control of a British-led, international body in return for a bilateral deal with the UK that would secure development aid and the technical assistance needed.
