PNG sky money and more carbon hot air



"Some have asked WWF, 'Who pays for the transport costs?' when they cut their tree, burn the logs and bring the carbon to Port Moresby.
"A lot of people think you sell the gas over the forest canopy and they're not quite sure how to capture it. There is real confusion."

Dave Melick, of the PNG arm of the conservation group WWF.

Here is some more on PNG's embattled Office of Climate Change (OCC), villagers being ripped off and the OCC apparently selling credits despite no legislation or policy. PNG wonders whether the good doctor leading the OCC will still be there for December's Copenhagen meeting?
