|
13 May 2008 |
News |
| Posted at 4:05 PM on 13 May 2008 Brazilian Environment Minister Marina Silva resigned Tuesday after six years in office, leading a Greenpeace campaigner to lament that "Brazil is losing the only voice in the government that spoke out for the environment."

French president Nicolas Sarkozy made himself quoteworthy, saying that climate ... |
