Toyota [recognizes young person who believes in the greatest scientific fraud in history]

The judges who chose the 2009 Toyota Community Scholars' class were impressed with the many volunteer projects in which Gandhi has participated, particularly his founding of CarbonNeutralVolunteers.org (CNV), which raises global awareness on climate change and promotes green lifestyle changes through an innovation concept of volunteer carbon credits.

Dedicated to reducing global green house gas emissions, the goal of the site is to empower individuals worldwide with the knowledge and opportunities to reduce their carbon footprint.

CarbonNeutralVolunteers.org has raised $20,000 for solar ovens in Tanzania and solar water heaters at Michigan-based Okemos High School and a hospital in Peru.

"A core believer in volunteerism and community action, I want to nurture a new generation of climate leaders," said Gandhi.

Gandhi is a perfect example of what the Toyota Community Scholars program is all about.

Denmark’s man in Washington doubts Obama’s climate deal will pass

American scepticism on climate initiatives will likely result in the US Senate dismissing the president’s green package

Chances that the United States Senate will approve President Barack Obama’s ambitious climate package before December’s UN Climate Conference in Copenhagen are slim, according to Friis Arne Petersen, the Danish ambassador the US.

Petersen told financial daily Børsen that the seriousness of the economic crisis in the US – along with the rush to compile the package and present it to the Senate – make it unlikely the proposal will secure a majority.
‘Even among the president’s own Democratic Party there’s a lot of scepticism about the package,’ said Petersen. ‘Many Americans are really feeling the effects of the crisis, so there’s much greater focus on creating new jobs and better social conditions than on solving climate problems.’
...
Getting the 67 votes would require all 60 Democrats in the Senate and seven Republicans to support it. Friis, however, estimated ‘only about 40 Democrats have given the package a positive response. So that’s a long way off what’s needed.’

'But unfortunately most Americans view climate initiatives as something that costs them,’ said Petersen. ‘It’s hard to get them to see them as investments that can result in more jobs and increased growth.’

Petersen predicts Obama will probably tread lightly on the climate front because he wants to avoid a situation similar to the one faced by President Bill Clinton. Clinton gave his approval to the Kyoto Protocol, but the Senate later refused to ratify the treaty.

WASHINGTON (AFP) — Access to green technology is becoming a growing stumbling block in global efforts to fight climate change, with US lawmakers bristling at what they see as China's attempt to "steal" US know-how.
