Lettera sulla credibilit\u00e0 scientifica e la conservazione delle foreste tropicali<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

nella quale<\/a><\/span> accusano l’ex segretario del GATT e neghista degli inquinamenti industriali e dei cambiamenti climatici\u00a0Alan Oxley<\/a>, titolare del World Growth Institute<\/a> (WGI) e dell’International Trade Strategies Global<\/a> (ITS), di spargere bufale sui danni alla biodiversit\u00e0 provocati in Indonesia e Papua Nuova Guinea dalle piantagioni di palme da olio che sostituiscono le foreste tropicali. Pi\u00f9 in generale Oxley<\/a> “intorbidisce le acque” e distorce i fatti per promuovere gli interessi delle multinazionali che finanziano i suoi due “think tanks”. Niente contro le imprese di lobbying, dicono i firmatari, per carit\u00e0: basta sapere che non sono “think tanks” e ponderarne le argomentazioni di conseguenza.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Dalla lettera si apprende tra l’altro che l’ITS ammette di essere in “stretta associazione” con tre celebri allevamenti di bufale: l’American Enterprise Institute<\/a>, il Competitive Enterprise Institute<\/a> e laHeritage Foundation<\/a>, finanziati da BigOil & Coal. Per Rimbunan Hijau<\/a>, Sinar Mas<\/a> e le altre consorelle di BigPalmOil sar\u00e0 una raccomandazione.<\/span><\/p>\n

Come dice il collega Jeff Tollefson<\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n

“La lettera arriva in un momento interessante.”<\/span><\/p>\n

A maggio la Norvegia e l’Indonesia hanno siglato un <\/span>accordo\u00a0 REDD<\/a> in cui la prima versa alla seconda 1 miliardo di dollari in cambio di una moratoria di 2 anni sulle autorizzazioni a trasformare in piantagioni la foresta pluviale e un piano da preparare entro il 2014 che quantifichi la sua riduzione delle emissioni di gas serra. BigPalmOil si sta affrettando a radere al suolo il massimo di foreste prima dei controlli REDD, cos\u00ec tre giorni fa il governo indonesiano <\/span>ha bloccato<\/a> la Rainbow Warrior che stava per entrare nelle sue acque territoriali.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ben educato, il collega non dice che i “think tanks” di Alan Oxley vanno aggiunti alla Sporca dozzina<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
