Jonah Lehrer never replied on my comments on his somewhat retarted article on carbon emissions and the Amazon. Too bad, it seems that we all forgot that part in Al Gore's movie where he pulls out a chart which shows that the US is responsible for more than 70% of the carbon emissions. Africa (the continent) only accounts for 8% and Latin America (the continent) only 11%. Again, until the moment the US doesn't get (1) its pace of carbon emission growth lower than that in Latin America and (2) in a second phase gets its nominal carbon emission per capita below the carbon emission per capita in Brazil, there's no valid argument why any North American should even talk about subsidies to use to Amazon to offset the carbon abuse in the US.
