Oslo (AFP) Dec 9, 2007

Norway will spend three billion kroner a year to help prevent deforestation in developing countries, Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg said on Sunday.

"Norway is ready to increase its part in fighting deforestation in developing countries to some three billion kroner (375 million euros, 548 million dollars) a year," Stoltenberg said in a statement.

"This could yield significant and rapid reductions in carbon dioxide emissions at a low cost," he said, adding that deforestation in developing countries was responsible for about 20 percent of the world's carbon dioxide emissions.

The Norwegian initiative is due to be announced this week at the climate change conference underway in Bali.

Norway's Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg
whom pResident _Bush refuses to meet, for
reasons known only to himself!

Wish they would renounce whaling, finally!

1. Excellent move. If only Canada would do as much. Oh yeah...we're being led by a denier...

...my bad, I forgot.

[Deja Q]

2. But that means we'll have to recycle toilet paper in order to print dollar bills...

Mind you, this time it'd be a literal thing rather than a figurative one...

4. Hey, don't insult used toilet paper like that!

The dollar is a moribund currency of a totalitarian nation and a slavish people. It has nowhere to go, like the freedom once enjoyed by the now-"virtually enslaved" Subjects of Amerika, but down.

In both cases, a minor miracle is needed to reverse the trend for more than a small period of time (which is still liekly, as no human endeavor goes in a straight line, up or down).

3. I love hearing about the Free World. That's more than half a billion in dollars

As to why Bushler won't meet Stoltenberg, well people on the Hitler side of authoritarianism only like to Free People liek Stoltenberg when they are in chains or dead.

If Bushler does not believe he can bully and deceive Stotltenberg, he will not see him.

This should be considered as compimentray to Stoltenberg, like havin Hitler or Stalin refusing to see him.

God Bless Norway, which is clearly at or near the center of where freedom still lives in this world. Because it sure way is in no way part of Imperial Amerika, not since Bush and his minions took over and destroyed the Old American Republic.
