The first mentioned is said to be clearing an area of forest per year, the size of Porto Rico, as well as wanting to be paid for having (rather than planting) forests. Small island nations are fearful.
This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues.

The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.
