Today marks some progress in the climate talks, as protesters - reminiscent of the 1999 WTO talks in Seattle - stand up for the global community in freezing rain. Along with virtual demonstrators blogging across the globe. The REDD agreement raises hopes that the forests of the planet can be preserved and allowed to regenerate. The agribusiness industry is at the table, which is what makes this agreement all the more important, since those activities are at the heart of the deforestation problem.

The New York Times article goes into a comprehensive discussion of how this agreement can help all countries preserve what are now disappearing natural assets.
