WTF!?

[schmevil]

I don't have words for how utterly fucking ridiculous this is.

Pay us oil money, or the rainforest gets it

ECUADOR's unprecedented offer to accept payment for not extracting oil from beneath the Amazon rainforest is beginning to draw interest. The move could usher in a new way to both combat climate change and prevent damage to ecologically diverse and sensitive regions.

Incentives do work, but this is absurd.

I don't see why not. They need fuel. They have a forest that has oil. Environmentalists tend not to like the Amazon going down. *shrug*
