- 8/3, BBC, "Ecuador pledges no drilling in Amazon reserve,"
- Under a pioneering agreement signed with the United Nations, the oilfields under the Yasuni reserve will remain untapped for at least a decade....
Countries including Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Italy
- and the US have expressed
- interest in contributing.
The Ecuadorean government says keeping the oil in the ground will prevent more than 400 million tonnes of
- carbon dioxide from going into the atmosphere.
"This is Ecuador's contribution towards
- combating climate change," Ecuador's Heritage Minister, Maria Espinoza, said.
Rebeca Grynspan of the UNDP described the initiative as "innovative, audacious and important
- for the whole planet".
She said the UNDP was interested in replicating it in other countries, possibly including Guatemala, Vietnam and Nigeria."
- Have any Ruling Class phonies in congress ever thought of filing articles of impeachment against Obama for taking hard earned taxpayer money from broke Americans and giving it to criminal operations like the UN and third world dictatorships? I didn't think so.
