If you then added in an EU and Russian commitment, you would be up to something close to 70% of global GHG emissions covered by some kind of commitment.

[General Brock's Blog] Climate Change 1972 : Another Ice Age? « General Brock's Blog: By blocking moisture-bearing equatorial winds and preventing them from bringing rainfall to the parched sub-Sahara region, as well as other drought-ridden areas stretching all the way from Central America to the Middle East and India, the polar winds have in effect caused the Sahara and other deserts to reach farther to the south. Paradoxically, the same vortex has created quite different weather quirks in the U.S. and other temperate zones.

[GreensBlog] Rudd adopts climate sceptic line | Greens MPs: I dont have to admire the farmer from Junee Tim.I listened to the ABC Radio news stuff on all these matters,and whilst memory understanding and faulty emphasis on matters of an issue are all possible,I am more concerned the Greens have been caught,supporting Eddington, who I think,is getting enough free kicks as it is.If a large amount of money is available to solve the Murray Darling problem,it just seems common sense to buy out the Water Rights first,then, if the farm property is really worthy in a conservation sense,and there is nothing pressing for the farmer involved,in this case investor and a company that just wants to play the Stock Exchange,then buy the property with other conservation monies.Because,if one large organisation can get away with it,put up your hands children to get the free kick and ice-cream from the government.Which just happens to be a Party that claims,and its largest membership base are non shareholder investors workers and the also-run.It occurs to me the Murray Darling problem even for environmental and ecological reasons is water first land second in terms of how the apparent survivalability is possible.I worked on a farm block at Colignan Nangiloc where the farmer who owned it was badly advised on a matter other than water,but water still had significant effects on his nematode problem.The State Government of Victoria went to a different method of calculating the salinity factor in the Murray.At the time,I believed they hadn't been served by the bureaucracy involved,and lead the farmer to certain attitudes about government and water allocations.Its almost like to me,it has been a slow practice of squeezing out smaller concerns and allow larger holdings to take over.Compensating and buying out the very large,certainly will never be social justice,even if it solves some environmental problems.Personally companies like that are more interested in money than trying new practices..an Australia wide problem associated with Get Big or get out.
