Russia Is Steamed About U.N.'s Kyoto Carbon Credit COP-Out
The original deal was that signatory nations that reduced carbon emissions by targeted amounts under their 1990 levels would be able to sell credits based upon tonnage improvements to countries that produced more than their allocations, thereby meeting quotas. In other words, a market was created to sell lots of hot air…something that the U.N. excels at.
The idea, at least as presented by the FCCC, was to save our planet from dreaded CO2-induced global warming. Incidentally, we might have credited that plan for great success were it not for the fact that while global temperatures have been flat now for about 17 years, those atmospheric CO2 levels have continued to rise.The Russian Academy of Sciences presented scientific arguments against signing in a statement issued on July 1, 2005, noting that the world’s temperatures do not follow CO2 levels. Instead, they observed a much closer correlation between world temperatures and solar activity.
.... our Senate passed (95-0) a rare unanimous bipartisan Byrd-Hagel U.S. Senate Resolution (S Res 98) that made it clear that the United States would not be signatory to any agreement that “would result in serious harm to the economy of the United States*”. Then-President Clinton, no stranger to political pragmatism, got the message and never submitted a necessary U.S. Kyoto Protocol approval request for congressional ratification.

Philadelphia Schools Closing While A New $400 Million Prison Is Under Construction
the DOC doesn’t plan to build the Phoenix complex in addition to Graterford. On the contrary, it plans to close Graterford and replace it with two new complexes (see page 5 of this PDF). So even if we take the DOC at its word that SCI Phoenix will hold 4,100 inmates when it’s complete, the state will still hold about 2,400 more prisoners than it ideally should.

"African Agriculture has been ignored by UN Climate Change discussions!" bellowed the South African minister for Agriculture, Tina Joemat-Pettersen at the
if Climate Smart Agriculture is so great, were farmer and civil
society groups, who are in favour of agroecological practices, so wary
of the push for an Agriculture deal that would supposedly enshrine it in
a UN climate agreement? Why did over 100 African and international
civil society groups send a letter to African ministers asking them to reject the Climate Smart vision?
The many faces of Climate Smart Agriculture
Well, as the high-level launch so clearly revealed, what Climate Smart Agriculture actually means and to whom is not so easy to pin down.
Well, as the high-level launch so clearly revealed, what Climate Smart Agriculture actually means and to whom is not so easy to pin down.
Simon Mwamba of the East African Small Scale Farmers' Federation (ESSAFF) explains: "Climate Smart Agriculture is being presented as sustainable agriculture - but the term is so broad that we fear it is a front for promoting industrial, 'green revolution' agriculture too, which traps farmers into cycles of debt and poverty."
The much-vaunted World Bank pilot project in Kenya will only generate between $5 and $1 per year per farmer.
ABN's Anne Maina outlines an additional concern for African farmers
from the drive for soil carbon markets. "Soil carbon markets could open
the door to offsets for GM crops and large-scale biochar land grabs,
which would be a disaster for Africa. Africa is already suffering from a
land grab epidemic - the race to control soils for carbon trading could
only make this worse."
It is worth noting that Monsanto already argue that their Roundup Ready GM crops should be eligible for carbon offsets. They claim that the application of their glyphosate herbicide (sold as "Roundup") on their herbicide-tolerant GM crops, reduces tillage for weeding, and therefore reduces loss of carbon emissions from the soil.
The Climate Smart rhetoric can nonetheless sound enticing. As Sri Mulyani Indrawati, managing director of the World Bank Group said at the same high-level launch event, "Agriculture needs to move from being part of the problem, to part of the solution." She is right about that - but it is disingenuous to imply that it is African farmers who are the cause of the problem. Instead, it is the industrialised food system in the North that is responsible for agriculture's runaway emissions. This discourse about agriculture as the solution, and the aim to expand carbon markets onto African soil is thus about shifting the blame and responsibility for addressing climate change from rich countries onto African farmers, even though they are not the ones who have caused it.
As negotiations got underway at Durban, the loudest voices calling for an Agriculture work programme under mitigation were the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Even the big guns, such as chief US negotiator Todd Stern joined the call. When an African negotiator asked why they felt so passionately about this issue, the rich countries replied in unison that they felt it was important to enable African subsistence farmers to adapt to the challenges. They wanted to see more research in, among other things, crop rotation and agroforestry.
Really? This was a surprising new and caring side to the US. Who knew about Todd Stern's passion for Agroforestry? (And this, the man who in the last frenzied minutes of negotiations on the Kyoto Protocol apparently said "If equity's in, we're out," in response to India's futile pleas to shoulder a lesser burden than the US.) I like to picture Todd among his fruit trees, humming peacefully as if all were right with the world.
Or, if one were more cynically minded, it might make more sense that the US push for an Agriculture work programme was about furthering US interests. Such as the expansion of carbon markets onto African soils, and the shifting of responsibility for climate change from rich countries onto the poor.
The World Bank expressed confidence that they would get their Work Programme on Agriculture under the negotiations about climate change Mitigation.
A Work Programme on Agriculture, to be set up under the Mitigation discussions, would essentially create an ongoing and open door for soil carbon offsets and Climate Smart Agriculture to be copy and pasted into the climate negotiations and any future agreement.
The promise that carbon offsets will bring finance for African agriculture is highly doubtful. The claim that Climate Smart agriculture will meet farmers' needs is extremely dubious. But the pressure on African farmers to solve the climate problems they did not create, is simply outrageous.

New film sows the Seeds of Freedom:
African farming voices challenge the GM myth“Global agriculture has changed more in our lifetime than in the previous 10,000 years. But as with all change, conflicts of interest have arisen. Nowhere is this conflict more poignant than in the story of seed.” A new film from the African Biodiversity Network (ABN) and the Gaia Foundation, narrated by actor Jeremy Irons, is set to explode pervasive myths about agriculture, development and Africa’s ability to feed herself. At the heart of the film “Seeds of Freedom” is the story of seed, and its transformation from the basis of farming communities’ agri-culture, to the property of agri-business.

Despite the Board’s lack of action to curtail faulty CDM projects, there has been a change in mood among carbon-market investors. At least one investor and a German investment bank have withdrawn from the biogas project in Honduras, for instance, following the revelation of human rights abuses. Another project seeking credit buyers, the massive Coca-Codo Sinclair hydropower project in Ecuador, has met with almost no interest among investors. Experts have indicated that the project is unlikely to qualify for the CDM, citing environmental concerns, as the project is 19 kilometers upstream of the San Rafael Falls, the country’s biggest waterfall and a biosphere reserve.
