Copenhagen Climate Talks....NSI News Source Info # 485

A worker rides a motorbike past a palm oil plantation in Deli Serdang, North Sumatra December 3, 2009. A scheme allowing carbon emitters to pay farmers to operate sustainably could create a $50 billion carbon market but such a programme is unlikely to emerge from the Copenhagen climate talks, a U.N. official said on Friday. Agriculture accounts for 14 percent of the world's emissions and is the second-biggest source of greenhouse gases after deforestation. But it has been neglected in talks leading up to this month's summit in Copenhagen, said Alexander Mueller, assistant director-general of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
