Climate meeting in Bonn: save the forests, but don't cheapen carbonBonn, Germany — If we're to have a hope of saving our planet from runaway climate change, we need to make it expensive for industry to emit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses, and we need to make it profitable for countries like Brazil, Indonesia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to preserve their tropical rainforests. Sounds angelically simple, but we need real leadership at the Bonn climate conference to get the devil out of the details.
Around twenty percent of the world's greenhouse gasses come from deforestation. You read that right: twenty percent.
Incentives to preserve our forests, and in particular the tropical rainforests which are vast carbon consumers, are essential to any deal to stop runaway climate change.
