I'm @ Borneo. Huge parts of our island is cleared for timber; environ, flora & fauna degradation. I hv a 10 he. plot that was alinated 40 yrs ago. It was 1st Rubber. Later the old trees were re-planted with fruit trees. 8 yrs ago due to EL NINO occur, >90% of the 10 yr fruit trees were burn by forest fire. Now I have some $$ for re-planting. Seeking HONEST international opinions whether I should plant:
1. indigenous hardwood trees which take 100 yrs to mature
2. Oil Palm trees for quick $ gain
My conflicting principles are to revert the land to mother nature. ie environ protection & re-juvination or commercialise.
Oil palm will give me g'tee mthly income 18 mths after planting. Efforts in hardwood trees take 3 generations to realise & along the way, contribute to environ.
Q: If I would to sell the Carbon absorbed by my trees, as envisioned in the Kyoto protocol, for EURO 65 per tree per year, will any one be willing to pay for the CO2 you have expended. email: hoenghsu@yahoo.com

More proof that "global warming" is nothing but a money making scheme, sold to gullible altruists who are motivated by guilt rather than logic.

planting trees will do very little actually, despite popular beliefs, to assist in converting CO2, it happens in the ocean people.
don't get me wrong, re-forestation is a good thing, it just isn't where most of the O2 comes from.
be very careful before you invest your hard earned money into feel good schemes.

Mr Jello - why not break with tradition and actually answer a question for a change; your incessant vitriol is geting boring.

Hoeng, please see my answer to your other question for my thoughts on this.
