jbet777 discovered 11 months ago- From the page: "Globally deforestation and forest fires account for approximately 20 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. That's more emissions than the world's entire transport sector. If global deforestation is left unchecked it will continue to accelerate the rate of global warming. This urgent global problem needs a global solution. We have launched a Forest Defenders Camp on the boundary of forest clearing in a region of Sumatra. In the coming weeks we'll be highlighting scale of the destruction and who's responsible. But also in Indonesia lies the start of that global solution. Indonesia will be hosting the next round of international climate talks in December. Governments from around the world will gather in Bali to negotiate about extending the Kyoto Protocol, the only international agreement containing legally-binding limits on greenhouse gas emissions. We aim to ensure that deforestation is included in the next phase of the Kyoto agreement extending beyond 2012. The decisions that governments make in the near future are critical for securing the financing and capacity needed by countries to safeguard their tropical forests and to allow them to make a serious contribution to global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions." Greenpeace is excellent: they put their words into ACTION!
