In a proposal titled, Tropical Rainforests: An Abatement Solution to Climate Change', [Bharrat Jagdeo] says the cost of preserving Guyana's more than 16 million hectares of rainforest, a total of $580 million per annum, is the cheapest abatement solution. He called on students, professors and the general public to put pressure on the Canadian government to attend the convention, stressing that 'what is needed now is the shift from just Minister's of Environment's support to that of the political level.' The science is clear. The economics is clear. The only reason to have a stalemate (in Copenhagen) will be the absence of political will," said president Jagdeo. Earlier this year president Jagdeo was among a group representing rainforest countries and developed countries which came toget...

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Cargill has announced a new $3 million grant to The Nature Conservancy (TNC) to protect the Brazilian rainforest and help farmers grow soy more sustainably. The grant expands a program that has already helped 383 farmers comply with conservation laws. Since 2004, the Responsible Soy project has successfully promoted responsible soy production in the Santarem area in the Brazilian state of Para, where Cargill has a soy terminal, by helping soy farmers comply with the Brazilian Forest Code. The success of the collaboration between TNC and Cargill is evident from the reduction in illegal deforestation in the farms participating in the project since 2006, reaching near zero deforestation in most farms.

Even Brazilian sugarcane, touted as the world's model for conversion from fossil fuels to sustainable "green energy," has its downside. The energy yield appears beyond question. It is claimed that ethanol from sugarcane may produce as much as eight times as much energy as it takes to grow and process. But a recent World Wildlife Fund report for the International Energy Agency raises serious questions about this approach to future energy independence. It turns out that 80% of Brazil's greenhouse gas emissions come not from cars, but from deforestation - the loss of embedded carbon dioxide when forests are cut down and burned. A hectare of land may save 13 tons of carbon dioxide if it is used to grow sugarcane, but the same hectare can absorb 20 tons of CO2 if it remains forested. If suga...
