    but you saying all that doesn’t get any action going,we all need to play a part in reducing the population of the whole planet,or we are doomed,DOOMED I TELL YOU!!!!! pass this baton on to all your friends,then get them to pass it on to all their friends, ad infinitum.

    with the exception of China that is.

    Europe, Russia, Japan and North America have actually reached a plateau if not started to dwindle sharply in quite a few areas in the civilized world.

    the problem lies in the Third World (the rest of Asia, Africa and Latin America) , the ticking of the population time bomb resonates louder with the passing of each year.

    it’s a victory for the totalitarians that rule the world and their bottom feeding religious clerics.

    How “logical” is that, the ground become “toxic”, gee, I won’t want consume palm oil then.

  6. Nickshark1982 says:

    The only problem with the palms is the leaves fall off and cover the ground. No ground cover will grow because they become toxic!!! Or so I have heard……..

    LOL they dont, they only kill the children, you are safe.

  11. halalbabi says:

    If we go back to riding horses. The horse will eat grass and pass out gas and this will also cause air pollution. The answer therefore lies in bicycles.

    Indonesia is the third largest emitter of CO2 because of these palm plantations. Stupid idiots

  13. ted1165 says:

  14. chateytung says:

    the only way to solve the problem is to control human population, China is a good example.

    welcome to Malaysia :)

  16. liquidribs says:

    well said.. well said.. you’re cool. :O

    Palm oil is EVERYWHERE in processed foods in our supermarkets, so it means basically that we eat the rainforests everyday, and we seat for our breakfast on chairs made on the extincted Tiger’s kingdom trees.
    So much for the indonesian crooks, making money because of OUR needs.

    West civilisation is eating up the old world to build…A big waste. Bon appetit !!

  18. borncoza says:

    Ok, so let’s kill each others right now… Why wait?

    There is no solution for enviromental friendly or whatsoever! This is world is overpopulated. Just like coachcroach doing harm to human, human is causing harm to the mother earth. Only one solution, a new world order must be establish, or else the total dooms of humanity in this world.

    Hi Westerners… why you all are just wanting to bullying Asians by all ways and means? The fact is you deforested your land much earlier than Asian. But now when opportunity is coming for Asians you raise issue of deforestation. Selfish Westerners. In fact you are the biggest users of world’s natural resources through your industries and life style.

  21. AaronHallam says:

    Not very green now, eh?

  22. geoffreyphilip says:

    Fuels others than Petrol are a necessity not an alternative. This report shows as if this world is environmentally friendly to fuels and therefore these countries have to cut down forest. Divya mucked it up at the last.

  23. infundadiform says:

    no no no the reason why the rain forest have been cut down is to make way for palm oil groves. besides it is not a regional source. why should we be tied to another country for fuel.
    one other thing is the malaysian gov is autocratic.same situation different shitheads.

  24. kzhong says:

    That’s sad.

  25. suhaibN says:
