<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for Bolivia’s leader pushes rich nations for climate adaptation funds]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by oracle2world http://www.grist.org/article/2009-04-30-bolivia-morales-climate-adapt/ Sat, 02 May 2009 20:36:54 -0700 http://www.grist.org/article/2009-04-30-bolivia-morales-climate-adapt/1 Nice article.  There is some interesting data not in it.

In 2006 Bolivia nationalized its petroleum industry after discovery of vast natural gas deposits.  Estimated at the second largest gas reserves in South America after Venezuela.

So Bolivia stands to reap some big money that would more than pay for any climate change mitigation.  And it is highly unlikely (make tha zero) that Bolivia will cap these wells to reduce CO2 emissions that would result from burning of the gas.

Whatever environmental pleas Bolivia is making, is just shaking down wealthy nations in a more imaginative way than usual.
