He has told Papua New Guinea to stop logging companies from cutting down any more trees. I think his comments did not go down well with our Government in here. The Government needs revenue from the industry but at the same time has also considerations for looking after the environment to minimise green house gases emissions. PNG is also a signatory to the Kyoto protocol and the Carbon Trade Pact of soemthing to do with carbon trading.

Though I am not an expert or researcher, I may offer some insights from my reporting experience. But, first, could you please let me know whether you have read the entire text of the climate change program and the White paper you mention (sometimes the different translation confuses me)?
