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 ---

A warm welcome

. Why blog on ARS NOTORIA? I have set up this website,  ARS NOTORIA ,  (the notable art) as an opportunity for like-minded people like you to jot down your thoughts and share them with us on what I hope will be a high profile blog. . ARS NOTORIA is conceived as an outlet: a way for you to get things off your chest, shake those bees out of your bonnet and scratch that itch. The idea is that you do so in a companionable blogging environment, one that that is less structured - freer. Every article you care to write or photograph or picture you care to post will appear on its own page and you are pretty much guaranteed that people will read with interest what you produce and take time to look at what you post. Personal blogs are OK, but what we long for, if we can admit it, are easy-going, loose knit communities: blogging hubs where we can share ideas and pop in and out as frequentl...

Phil Hall: The Taleban are a drug cartel disguised as an Islamist movement

Truly the Taleban could have arranged as many bombings and terrorists acts as they liked in the UK. There are many Pashtun young men and women in cities in the UK who still have large extended families back in Afghanistan and who could be forced into doing something they should not. But guess what. So far there have been no attacks by Afghans on British soil. Why? It is a mystery. News comes from Afghanistan and the recent UN report that the Taleban and the drug trade are intertwined and that now the Taleban, who are mainly Pashtun, are officially in command of an international drug cartel.  News comes from Afghanistan that Taleban drug lords go to Dubai to live high on the hog and gamble and sleep with women and luxuriate in all the that the freedom to consume has to offer, while their footsoldiers, peasant fighters, are deluded and told that they are fighting a patriotic religious war.  And though they are told they are fighting a religious war what really matters to t...

Our Collective Caliban

At the risk of seeming digitally provincial, I’m going to illustrate my point with an example from a recent Guardian blog. Michel Ruse, who is apparently a philosopher, suggested that, whilst disagreeing with creationists on all points, and agreeing with Dawkins et al on both their science and philosophy, it might be wiser and more humane (humanist, even) not to vilify the religious as cretinous and incapable of reason. Which seems reasonable, to me. According to many below-the-line responses he is a ‘half-baked’ atheist, ‘one of the more strident and shrill New Apologists’ and, apparently, “needs to get a pair’. And that’s just from the first twenty comments. A recent article by a screenwriter at a US site was titled ‘Why I Won’t Read Your Fucking Screenplay.’ Tough guy. I wonder how his Christmas cards read. I’m going to sound like a maiden aunt dismayed by an unsporting bridge play and can perhaps be accused of needing to ‘get a pair’ myself (although, before you...
