Jungles of the Amazon

The jungles of the Amazon, on the other hand are governed by laws of its own. Criminal factions doubling as land grabbers coupled with government corruption and backed by large corporations (mostly American), see a great potential in bringing down forests and using the land thus obtained, to serve their purposes. Those reporting abuse of the forest to government agencies oft en face violent harassment for taking on the land mafia, backed by the large corporations. The forest is a giver. Besides providing us with vital elements necessary for life, it provided shelter to millions who do not speak like us and are clueless of happenings outside the mighty greens. Save the forests, save lives.

Europa lands one in economic mud

The only big spender in the United States sits in Washington: President George Bush needs another $800 billion for the mess in Iraq which will assure that the USA will be saddled with public debt in excess of $10 trillion once he leaves office in 2008 (The US Congress approved a multi-billion dollar Iraq war budget on May 24, after bowing to US President George W. Bush’s demands). Big government keeps growing bigger and at last count in April a quarter of all new jobs came from the government, leaving taxpayers with higher bills in the future. A jump across the big pond to Europa lands one in economic mud these days. The official GDP growth rate in the European Union declined from 3.5% to an annual rate of 3.1% in early 2007, with quarterly figures confirming a continuing downtrend and an unchanged unemployment rate.

Lower emissions

On the other hand, “Most companies iipmin sectors with lower emissions, such as healthcare, retailers, and banks, have been largely unresponsive to the financial risks they face from climate change,” Ceres spokespersons bemoaned to B&E. In a benchmark fashion, by picking up the impact of hurricanes in 2005 as an example, while nearly half of S&P 100 companies reported definitely measurable impacts from these hurricanes, the losses related to ‘Katrina’ and ‘Rita’ in the third quarter of 2005 were estimated to be nearly $4.5 billion. Compellingly, top of the line companies like Bell South recorded a loss of $102 million for asset impairment and $136 million in other expenses.

Kyoto Protocol and G-8 summit

But isn’t that what they call a stalemate? With the world’s largest economy and the two most formidable developing economies refusing to budge, the cause of reversing the damage looks doomed from the very outset. The Kyoto Protocol is going to expire in 2012, and world leaders are groping for an effective post-quota regime, which could gain consensus, in particular, for these countries. In the upcoming G-8 summit starting June 6 in the Baltic resort of Heiligendamm, global warming is going to be one of the flashpoints, as other industrialised nations would try to make the US blink. German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who will host the meet, has been quite reticent publicly about the prospects, “I don’t know if we will succeed in that at Heiligendamm. But for me, it is clear that the big developed nations must take the lead on this issue if we are to have a chance...” A recently released Oxfam report projects that developing countries would require around $50 billion every year to combat global warming.
