Thanks for this info! I know many people personally who are destroying the natural rain forests for the sake of then raping the soil of its natural resources. I will definitely get involved!

The hypocrisy of western powers are solidly behind such shameful acts of destruction.
The head of Rimbunan Hijau of Malaysia was recently Knighted by the Queen of England.
Both the knighthood and the queen should be stripped off their titles if the western powers are serious about protecting the environment and not make mockery of the global concern.

Perhaps now is a good time to breathe deeply and celebrate.

President Barack Obama is in Norway to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. This is a moment for rejoicing and listening to the words of a great person. He is deserving of a Nobel Prize because he is a beacon of light and hope in an awakening world that has suffered grievously through the past 8 long, dark years with leadership known mostly for its disasterous decisonmaking, disinformation, delay, denial, duplicity and dunderheadedness.

All the dunderheaded disinformation, deceit, delay, denial and disasterous decisionmaking of the past 8 long dark years are in past. With a little luck people with feet of play will overcome the arrogance, wanton greed and stupidity perpetrated by the Masters of the Universe among us, the most avaricious and self-righteous ones who widely proclaim their greed-mongering is God's work.

What mental disorder describes those among us who proclaim themselves Masters of the Universe doing the work of God?

Years of hard work by people with feet of clay all come down to this week in Copenhagen. The "now or never" week is at hand for the children, global biodiversity, life as we know it, the integrity of Earth and its environs. This week is the moment that the Masters of the Universe cannot avoid any longer; all of human family are bound in this long-awaited momentous week. The time for action has come, finally. The opportunity held in this blessed moment must not be missed.

If anyone thinks of something that I can do to assist any of you to reasonably, sensibly, responsibly and humanely realize the goals of the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference, please send word to me.

Yvo De Boer and the leaders of Copenhagen Climate Change Conference are engaged in "the good fight" at the last, best opportunity for human civilization to save the planet for the children and coming generation as a fit place for human habitation. Years ago I was told that my generation had a duty to leave the world a better place than what is was when it was given to us by our forefathers and foremothers. It goes without saying that my not-so-great generation of greed-mongering elders will fall woefully short of discharging its responsibilities. Come what may for the children. Too many arrogant and selfish leaders in a single generation have recklessly chosen to fight wrongful wars for wrongheaded reasons, at a cost of blood and treasure that is as astounding in its stupidity as it is incalculable to measure.

I'm going to be optimistic right now and say that I'm crossing my fingers and toes that Copenhagen ends in result. Resolution of some sort so that we can make real change. I agree that the western world as far as corporations and the majority of government are about as hypocritical as they come but there comes a point in time where even these powerful entities are going to have to listen to the majority of the public, the majority of the world and realize that they'll be left behind, and losing the profits being gained by countries and companies doing the right thing. People know what needs to be done and all that is important now is to give them the correct information. Tell the public who is actually doing the right thing, who is making the world a better place and the public will follow.
