Hi All,
International Politics and Climate BBC has just produced a report that second country is now committing itself for pull-out from oil exploration and production due to environmental concerns. The benefits from on-shore oil extraction in Nigeria have been very limited in that country I think it follow shortly. All these developments are conducive to create positive environment and point why we need geoengineering among the many other ways in order to resolve the emission crisis. PERU FOLLOWS ECUADOR TO TERMINATE OIL PRODUCTION The monstrous reality of ‘peak oil’ is revealed once again when the laws to extract oil from the Amazon came to be repelled almost as soon as they were enacted. A stern public opposition across Peru in hundreds of town ends its planned oil exports. The big oil made few friends in Peru that follows now the earlier, similar, decision by Ecuador to close its territories from further oil exploration activities that only leaves toxic waste lands behind. "This is a historic day for indigenous people because it shows that our demands and our battles were just," said Daysi Zapata, vice president of the Amazon Indian confederation that led the protests. 30 civilians died, according to Indian groups and 23 police. Bolivian President Evo Morales described the deaths of the indigenous protesters as a genocide caused by free trade. http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/em/fr/-/1/hi/world/8109021.stm Subject: [geo] AEI conference on international politics of climate engineering (geoengineering) Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2009 15:20:27 -0400 From: leol...@crai.com To: geoengineering@googlegroups.com Members of this group may be interested in this up-coming June 25 event at the American Enterprise Institute.
