saw the taunts, of course

choosing to not engage

because need to spend time to reflect on the landscape, arena, and current of force

to prepare for 2008

also preparing for end of year swing through china, philippines, and europe, all within 12 days, starting the 4th

i will come back to you hard, but only after i am ready to pronounce my course of action for 2008

2007 has been a bang-on year, so far, and hoping it doesn;t all vaporize into the dark cold night

frankly, no good position stance is safe, and none looks particularly promising, and certainly none compelling

we may have another dose of collapse in the current sequence that started in 2001

Does the world want oxygen? Soaking Co2? Protecing the spiders, parrots, and capibaras? Yes?

Ok. We will send the bill to provide the world a public good...

Lets rake in the cash.

Wealthy nations must pay for rainforest protection: Brazil's Lula
Posted 8 hours 50 minutes ago

Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva says wealthy nations must compensate poorer countries for protecting their rainforests.

President Lula made his plea to the world's wealthier countries just days ahead of the major United Nations conference on climate change, which is being held in Bali, Indonesia.

He says rich countries need to know that the price they will have to pay in order for the poorest countries to protect their forests will be a major issue at the conference.

"You are not going to convince the poor anywhere in the world not to cut a tree without the right to a job and food in exchange," he said.

Brazil itself is one of the largest carbon emitters, mainly due to deforestation in the Amazon rainforest.

Brazil, a major developing world trading power with an increasing influence on environmental issues, is a pioneer in producing and using low-emissions ethanol derived from sugar cane and 85 per cent of its power generation comes from renewable energy sources.

Mr Lula also criticised the United States for subsidising less efficient ethanol derived from corn, while charging duties on imported ethanol made from sugarcane.

"Where is the trade equality, where is the will to clean the planet? ... They could start taxing oil," he said.
