[Ost-news] The Pew goes to Bali to lobby for Boreal carbon credits at UN Climate Convention

[Oil Sands Truth: Shut down the Tar Sands - social and environmental impacts of tar sands heavy oil projects across North America]

The Pew front groups and Gang Green are in Bali this week to lobby for boreal forest carbon credits. Faced with the unpleasant reality that the boreal forest is now likely a net carbon producer due to forest fires and insect outbreaks, all caused by global warming, the Pew are now lobbying to get the carbon stored in peatlands over thousands of years counted as carbon credits in the post-2012 Kyoto Treaty. If successful, this would set the Kyoto carbon emissions baseline back from 1990 to the time of the ice age!
