extract from corporate watch:-

Soumitra Ghosh, who works with forest workers in India, worries that such carbon trading will only further global inequality. It has the potential to set up a system, he says, "wherein the poorest and darkest-skinned pay the highest price— with their health, their land, and, in some cases, with their lives — for continued carbon profligacy by the rich.”

Also check out Where The Trees are a Desert from Carbon Trade Watch ( monocultures, pesticide pollution and landgrabbing )and The Sky Is Not the Limit to understand the human cost of this neoliberalist greenwash and moneymaking exercise for those greedy arses in the Square Mile.

Even some supposedly 'respectable'(sic) people and groups seem to have got caught up in this bullshit ( green suits! )e.g. Future Forests ( recipients of lots of Glastonbury money see for more details sinkwatch.org "Forest fraud"), and certain 'green' jobs directories advertising carbon trading consulant vacancies!

Re the remergence of the nuclear lobby sees General Motors, Carbon Casino Conultants and American Electric in bed together looking at Generation IV nuclear technology to produce hydrogen for their cars. Speaking to a director of American Electric at COP9 he denied the development of new reactors. Which ius funny because at the same time the US propaganda stand at the conference was promoting this technology ( and Dubya as a bit of an eco-warrior! ).

There currently does not appear to be much interest from CND who used to have a 'Nuclear Power No Thanks' campaign. The nuclear fuels lobby was very much in evidence there including a lobby group based in Kensington distributing leaflets entitled "12 reasons to choose nuclear".

What other reasons do you need to turn up and make a difference?

or what I think he is actually saying is "an opportunity to continue polluting, make a lot of fast cash out of it, screw the rest of the planet, and irradiate everything"

Would he look good signing up to Kyoto? It wouldn't stop the pollution. It's a great PR exercise up his sleeve and an opportunity for carbon dollars. What do you think?

sorry - wrong photo added - could you remove it from the siteand I'll place the proper optimized version.
