A pro fossil-fuel agenda has been smuggled into the World Bank by another controversy-causing Wolfowitz Human Resources placed candidate. This time it's the former conservative finance minister from El Salvador, and strong Iraq war advocate, Mr Juan José Daboub, who is raising the hackles of senior staff.
The outcome of his intentions would have been to make developing countries completely reliant of fossil-fuels, and given developed countries less reason to stick to an international framework for greenhouse gas emissions reductions, like the Kyoto Protocol.
I have one question; If they were so wrong about the Iraq cake-walk, yet are still so cavalier, why on earth would you trust them on climate change, and our children's futures? Do we want the planet to resemble Iraq today, in twenty years?
Dr. Robert Watson, the Bank's chief climate scientist, co-chair of the 1995 IPCC working group and veteran of the US Whitehouse culture war on climate science, doesn't.
