KPK: Corruption Jeopardizes Lucrative Climate-Change [Hoax] Deals | The Jakarta Globe
Jakarta. The billions of dollars that Indonesia stands to earn every year in climate-change deals could be at risk if it fails to stamp out corruption in its forestry sector, antigraft authorities warn.

Norway is preparing to pay the first $30 million of the $1 billion it agreed to give Indonesia as part of a UN scheme in which rich nations will pay developing countries not to clear woodlands.
Going the snip to aid a crowded planet
I anticipate that one day we will want children of our own and that it will hurt like hell that we can't, but then again I am also cross that I can't have a V8 car, a 20-minute shower or a 70-inch plasma, so perhaps the ''Peter Pan'' generation is growing up after all.

The University of San Diego received a nearly $1 million grant from the National Science Foundation for a program to increase awareness about climate change, it was announced today.

The grant, through the NSF's Climate Change Education Partnership, will be used to develop a climate change communication program that promotes education, awareness, innovation and action.

The two-year program includes an assessment of key opinion, community and business leaders to determine their level of climate science awareness and preferred policies and actions for addressing the impacts of climate change, according to USD.

The project team will include scientists from USD's Marine Science and Environmental Studies Department and Energy Policy Initiative Center and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego, alonn with a behavioral psychologist from Cal State San Marcos and community planners from The San Diego Foundation.

It is hilarious that Norway, the land of ice and stone is going to give Indonesia $1B to counteract global warming. Norway stands to benefit if it gets warmer, Indonesia will suffer.

Because Norway has a lot of oil money, they throw it away on stupidity like this. Someday Norway's oil will run out and Norway will return to their previous hard scrabble life style.
