President Jagdeo meets key World Leaders as efforts intensify in Copenhagen

President Jagdeo yesterday met with Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, and Nepal Prime Minister Madhav Kumar, as efforts continue for leaders to work towards a favourable outcome of the Copenhagen Climate Meeting.

Among the key issues discussed was the need for some of the major economies of the world to come on board with emission cuts and the issue of financing for developing countries.

During the day, the United States of America announced a global fund of US$1B in total to address deforestation and degradation to 2012, and the Government of Japan announced that they would contribute US$5B per year if an ambitious agreement was reached at Copenhagen.

The United States announcement was made by US Secretary of Agriculture, Tom Vilsack.

At the same event as Mr. Vilsack made the announcement, President Jagdeo shared a panel discussion with Prime Minister of Norway Jens Stoltenberg, Jane Goodall of the Jane Goodall Institute, and UN Messenger of Peace, Sir Charles Branson, Founder of the Virgin Group. The event, organised by the Avoided Deforestation Partners under the theme ‘Reducing Emissions from Deforestation: Opportunities for U.S. Initiatives in Support of a Global Framework’, brought together policymakers along with some of the leading global NGOs working on forests and heads of multilateral financial and corporate institutions.

Among those who participated were Eduardo Braga, Governor of Amazonas, Brazil; Helen Clark – Administrator of UNDP; former Prime Minister of New Zealand, Robert Zoellick; President of the World Bank, Julia Marton Lefevre; Director General of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN); Carter Roberts, President of WWF US; Peter Seligmann, Chairman and CEO of Conservation International; and Mark Tercek, President and CEO of The Nature Conservancy.

During the discussions, President Jagdeo highlighted the importance of adequate financing for REDD+ for it to be successful. He highlighted the partnership with Norway and the fact that payments are performance based and subject to Monitoring, Verification and Reporting System (MRVS). Norway Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg indicated that Norway’s Initiatives on forests, which included collaboration with Brazil and Guyana, was one of their best initiatives on Avoided Deforestation, while emphasising that it is one of the most cost-effective abatement solutions available and could be implemented immediately.

The President and Guyana Delegation also participated at the Guyana Presentation, organised to share information and further promote Guyana’s Initiatives and the Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS).

  1. This points to the fact that President's Jagdeo's initiative has been vindicated. the Guyana model is getting increasing attention and the Government is working out a mechanism that could be a model for the rest of the world.
    Guyana’s LCDS is largely based on preserving its standing forests to help curb global greenhouse gas emissions and getting paid by the international community for its services.

    Dear Mr. Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg,

    I wish to convey information as a friend to your fine Nation and will forward a conclusion in time for it is my birthday today! I thank you for your review and will consider a made-for-TV Film starring all concerned ..



    WHY THE SOVIET UNION INVADED NORWAY
    PRIOR TO THE THAW OF COLD WAR!!

    OPERATION THUNDERHEAD:

    PART ONE.

    In the year the USS Skipjack was launched government hands were changing; the National Defence Research Division of the Central Intelligence Agency; the War Production Board refuted the Mayor in Petrozavodsk in Soviet Union Capital of the American Embassy sifting and analouging information similar as in central Headquarters in Washington, D.C.

    The US Skipjack was in Bay in India near for nine months, again; sifting for Communist enemy against US interest.

    In the Tenali Capital the elected Democrat US President vetoed an Alliance with India's President; in response President US Dwight Donald Eisenhower Gen. Attache to the Central Intelligence Agency Top Hound for his second Congressional Win for The Democratic Party organized in Austin, Texas; Congress assured San Juan by tax evasion and colonizing the South American Peninsula and the US Skipjack patrolled the waters for three years when Norway struck an oil vein capping $2-Billion in Norwegian pay from $7-Million in Norwegian invest, including a years' pay in full to the oil service.

    Military mobilization procured an aftermath with the US Treasury Department revealed their partner-in-trading Norway's President Oscar Fredrik Torp newly elected for term Two vetoed a signed pact that allowed and 'oil embargo' preventing Moscow from securing and according the Politburo Alaska State also struck oil that same year insuring Canada particularly Alberta met one years' fuel to power all homes and a portion of vehicles of the same period.

    Whilst Premier Nikila Samuel Khruschev ordered through Moscow military and up-to-date, highly refined class of submarine: UU(n) -Hurricane to explore Norway's in-coming oil transport to the US, the British, all English counterpart submarine class also newly engineered MS-Explorer-MM(e) maidened for a 'Cold THUNDERHEAD War' in response to oil need and a US rejection for a Communist supply-trade as a partner.

    To retaliate for British wealth; the nuclear generated Explorer Submarine with 'C'-Class guarded near Norwegian sea for near three years when submerged for the last time!

    PART TWO.

    The British Navy's new Class Y MS-Explorer-T11(e) that maidened for 'War-Conflict' collapsed during a torpedoing against the Hurricane set by Norway's Northern Ocean; the Turbine on Registry by The Rolls-Royce Affirmary was designed for all military air-craft including the all new then Mig-22(e)-Turbo-driven-Valve-10-Cylinder Messerschmidt 99.

    Within the Turbine a Per-O-Xide-9 Hydro-Fuel-22(b) now used by Shell in North American Space Administration for flight testing of new designs to patent all military in The U.S.; ignited when the Torpedo-99(a) 'oxidized'; this over heated; the Head Crew-man a Pier Nyiermann; who invented another scan for incoming 'pedos signalled by Sonar-On-Ward-Sight for enemy in-coming fire!!

    The U.S. Designed this new S.O.N.A.R. to 'flight' all enemy by a Doppler Relay; by a Wave-Image on a frequency near 80,000-Mega-Hertz and the wave-length sends an Oscillary to 'pattern' an enemy map such as N.A.S.A. employs to locate an in-coming Intercontinental Ballistic Missile not recognized by the Northern Organization of Range Defence.

  3. On Oct.30.2007, the "Blog Militar Legal" (Brazil) carried notice that the Brazil's combined intelligence services (GTAM) in Amazonia had advised the government, that the U.S. had a strategic plan to "encircle" Brazil, by finding causes that provided a rationale to deploy U.S. military in all nations on Brazil's borders. By 2010, the U.S. had occupied bases in Colombia and re-constituted the U.S. 4th Fleet "South America Fleet".
