Indonesian government looking to cash in on the climate scam?
The blue print on a national plan of action on climate change, which was launched by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono during the climate change conference in Bali in 2007, states that Indonesia’s marine biodiversity can absorb some 67 million tonnes of carbon, equal to about 245.6 million tons of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) per year.
A Dog Named Kyoto: So how do you like our green world?
Those who have been lobbying for a "green economy" no longer need to look very far to see an example of what they wish for.

We are now experiencing it first hand.
The decline of Richard Littlemore: Alarmist journalist reduced to railing at real scientists
The question, for Dr. Ball - an expert with no credentials and, increasingly, an advocate with no audience - is this: If he would have us criticize Hansen and Weaver for alarmism - for "frightening people" in a theatre that is about to be engulfed in flames - what accusation would he hurl at the usher who blocks the door and recommends people return to their seats and ignore the smoke already curling around their head.

I'd suggest "criminal negligence" at the least, especially if that "usher" truly had above-average scientific understanding and was particularly able to assess the risk.

As the bodies start piling up, others may prescribe more dramatic charge - perhaps some variation of "deadly irresponsibility." In the first degree.
