'Properly managed', and 'buy time' is the weasel-wording here.
Are we not still deforesting at an unprecedented rate, and meanwhile sitting on our complacent arses? Or has the policy suddenly changed overnight and I haven't noticed?
Oh, and we weren't told who was funding this 'research': it's always nice to have the cui bono, don't you think?
You'll clutch at any straw not to have to surrender a mere 1% of your lifestyle, won't you?

Greed is good, eh?

'I guess the Hollywierd director will not like this little diddy on CNN's website...eh?'

I agree that there needs to be a level playing-field (but see my previous comments about evening up trade to compensate poorer nations), but where the US leads, all follow, eventually- and wouldn't it be nice to have the moral high ground for a change, instead of having to be forced, kicking and screaming like stuck pigs, to act?
I don't much care for a lot of environmentalists either, but the scientific warnings seem to me to warrant prompt action. I despise our government too, for its pusillanimity in dealing with this issue.

Gee, I'm so relieved that I don't have to do any more worrying about climate change.

" According to its Web site, the group's corporate sponsors are Alcoa Alumina Australia, the petroleum giant Royal Dutch/Shell, and Stanwell Corporation Limited, an energy company owned by the state of Queensland."
By some strange accident, Bimmercat left that bit out.
