RE: Carbon Deal, by Infinite
Infinite writes of recent articles on Brazil, rain forests
and carbon credits,
"...article from Reuters...."
You forgot to provide a link! This is ok. I am familiar
with recent events.
For readers, in a nutshell, no carbon credits are issued
for "preventing" cutting down rain forests. Carbon credits
are issued for planting new trees in areas deforested.
Brazil is refusing to trade carbon credits because of
concerns countries like America will buy up those carbon
credits to allow companies to continue polluting. Talk
to Dubya Bush and big business about this.
Recently, Brazil, working with New Guinea and Costa Rica
along with other countries, is proposing a new credit
system outside the Kyoto carbon credit system. This is
system which pays "cash" for not cutting down rain forests.
Problem is standing rain forests do not provide any financial
incentive for preservation. Many countries, more specific,
many poor people need to harvest lumber to survive. This
is from an economic viewpoint, not environmental. This
is understandable; people need to earn incomes.
Preservation of rain forests is critical for the survival
of many species, including our human species. Rain forests
digest tremendous amounts of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse
effect gas, and produce oxygen. Rain forests also produce
about one-forth of our Earth's supply of clean water.
Rain forests, next in importance to our oceans, support
the greatest numbers of species, many undiscovered, from
flora to fauna. Rain forests are home to the greatest
number of species save for our ocean home.
This Brazil deal on credits is widely applauded. This is
a system which will provide financial incentive for other
countries to preserve their rain forests. This incentive
is to provide cash, in a sense, which can be used for
economic development for a country in need. More simple,
rain forest countries will be able to provide alternative
sources of income other than harvesting rain forests.
This is not truly a "cash" system but a system of trading
credits to allow certain activities during Third World
economic development. This system is much like the Kyoto
system but addresses specific preservation of rain forests,
which Kyoto does not address. This proposed Brazil system
provides cash like incentives to develop industries other
than harvesting lumber from rain forests.
For trivia, Brazil is virtually a one-hundred percent
methanol (alcohol) fuel country with very little need
for any foreign oil. Brazil is free of extortion by
Mideast oil countries.
Brazil is very modern and very advanced, even when compared
to our United States. Brazil is far ahead of all countries
in terms of self-dependence and preserving our environment.
Infinite comments on a lack of CSHD / Ecowood appearing
in news releases about rain forests. This makes good sense
because Harris and company are running a scam operation,
in my opinion. Those four-trillion dollars in carbon credits,
I am quite sure, are non-existent. Previously I wrote an
article on total worldwide value of carbon credits. What
Harris claims in value is thousands of times greater than
the sum total of carbon credits for our entire world.
My opinion on this non-existence of carbon credits of
Harris and company is based on no carbon credits are
issued for Amazon logging, no carbon credits are issued
for preservation of rain forests. This is what Ecowood
is suppose to be all about, if not a scam operation as
Ecowood has been for a decade or more. There are no
carbon credits associated with Ecowood, none, zero,
nada, zippo.
If Harris is to legitimize this, only possible I can
think of is a small amount of carbon credits related
to mining activities, hinted at by Harris. I am very
skeptical this "major titanium" deposit actually exists.
A major titanium deposit would already be major news
and would already be involved in mining operations.
No, my opinion is this is more Harris mule manure.
A few days back I enjoy good laughter thanks to an
ignorant pumper. When confronted with this carbon
credit issue, he rationalizes, "There is no connection
between Conversion Solutions and Ecowood. This does not
matter." Then the boy turns right around and returns to
claiming CSHD is worth over four-trillion dollars because
of the carbon credits; cake, have it, eat it, idiocy.
I am also humored by pumpers claiming Conversion Solutions
has more net worth than any company, anywhere. Only
net worth of Harris and company is entertainment value.
This is the most stupid scam to ever hit the markets,
and most surprising, has produced the greatest number
of foolish traders to play the markets.
Cannot write I am humored by those great numbers of
ignorant foolish traders who actually believe Harris.
These are people who wreak havoc upon our stock markets.
No, Harris and company will never be mentioned in any
news of importance for worldwide economies. Harris and
company are nothing more than a tiny festering pimple
on the butt of our worldwide economy, a puss filled
pimple about to be squeezed and eliminated.
