is it hot enough for ya??

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

It was being cleared for palm oil. Mostly used for bio diesel that the various governments told everyone to start growing.
But he doesn’t mention that.

I think this old fool should be retired.
Wasn’t he just a voiceover so probably never left his cost Devon farmhouse?
Only about a quarter of the farmed palm oil is used for fuel.

Charlie
Comes down to definitions and the changing meaning of words, I guess. A traditional definition of cult would be strictly religious, although these days we tend to use it for any group of people (adherents) that have fervent beliefs in something that the wider population doesn't see or necessarily agree with. Like iPhones.

Make no mistake, The Environment is a cult these days.

The other three quarters is used to make cheese for those gross, calorie filled American Cheeseburgers. :stir:

I think you’re missing the point.
It was these governments that talk about climate change who are the ones telling us we all need to stop producing it!

Years ago - you must buy diesel cars. Now - diesel cars are evil.
Years ago - palm oil is the future of fuel. Now - look, the destruction of our forests are devastating cute animals. You must stop it (by giving us money).

Can anyone explain to me, in terms a five year old would understand, the science behind carbon sequestration? That is, burying mature trees because reasons?

This concept seemed to rise and fade very quickly, and I never understood how it saves the planet. I understand how it suited political agendas and was a good vehicle for cleaning political money, but ... burying trees?
