Some good news. I would like to see how this initiative lives up 20 years from now. How successfull will those billions of trees be. And are they being planted in spots that matter? Preferably in places that will stop landslides etc....

Good links, Tin. This conference in Bali is something that I've been following. I'm hoping that some good will come out of it.

The final UN report is now available for those who want to have a read:

And I also found this information helpful:

Shakkai, those graphs are excellent. They really show how we affect the planet and how the planet affects us. Thanks for finding those!
