Critics see REDD over PNG carbon schemes
Two carbon trade projects proposed for Papua New Guinea have been hammered by critics who list a litany of inconsistencies, dubious science, legal issues and concerns landowners will be ripped off.

The Kamula Doso venture is led by Nupan, a company run by controversial Australian businessman Kirk Roberts, a former disqualified horse trainer who also ran a Philippines cockfighting business.
Mr Roberts, who is a self-proclaimed "carbon kingpin", has travelled extensively across PNG promising landowners if they stop logging their forests, millions - and potentially billions - of dollars will come via his carbon trade projects.

It appears that this Kirk Roberts is slowly creating the forest protection PNG and Earth desperatly need.
His origination structure has been very well thought out and through a International trading house it seems Roberts is putting the strong and straight verdit to large emitters.
Pay or be exposed.
I have to say here in PNG Roberts is supported by a large majority.
