Someone sent an announcement that a so-called Madre de Dios Amazon REDD Project was registered in one of these unaccountable registries set up in the USA.
It is all total rubbish - no one knows what the purpose of such projects except to undermine the UNFCCC. Markit Environmental Registry. What? The rape of the forests by non-accountable illegal voluntary carbon brokerages emanating from the USA has started. Be on guard they will come and chop the trees for the wood if the carbon is not delivered.
The Government of India was right in 1992 to wonder whether a time will come when we need our carbon ourselves. Well the time has come. We need it now.
SAY NO TO REDD at least until it is in a legally binding framework of the UNFCCC. This project is another example of the USA undermining legally binding agreements.
All these USA based voluntary registries are totally illegal. USD 7 price per carbon certificate.? God. Cheaper than a can of coke in one of their swanky hotels where no doubt this sleezy deal was done. CCB Standards (Climate, Community and Biodiversity Standards). added their name to this rubbish.
It is so sad. They are all driven by vain glorious madness. Trading in falsehoods. Betraying the people. Whose carbon is being sold? How could they think it was theirs to sell??

REMEMBER - THE URUGUAY GOVERNMENT DID NOT EVEN HAVE TO APPROVE THIS. THEY PROBABLY DO NOT EVEN KNOW ABOUT IT.
AND HERE IS ANOTHER ONE THIS ONE EVEN HAS GOVERNMENT INVOLVEMENT ---- BUT IT IS STILL TOTALLY OUTSIDE THE UNFCCC ---- THIS IS WHAT THE USA'S CONTRIBUTION TO INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS IS ---- BEST TO DO WHAT IS ILLEGAL ---
