...implications of this, combined with desertification, species extinction and accelerated climate change from the release of carbon stored in forests, are all too clear. Unfortunately, the E.U. and the Kyoto CO2 trading systems effectively exclude forest carbon offsets because regulators and politicians became captives of the anticapitalist NGO community and their own native suspicion of free markets. This is both perverse, as it makes it harder and more expensive to mitigate climate change, and immoral - because it denies the resources required by the poorest to adapt...
...efficiency in dealing with air pollution, and yet it's the current President Bush who fights against applying that proven model to tackling climate change. Markets can and do solve public-sector problems. They have raised more people out of poverty than all the aid ever given. Yet anticapitalist climate cultists and the current White House persist in their condemnation of market-driven, business-based solutions to global warming...
...Kemal Atatürk officially laid it to rest. The police visited Assem, Hizb ut-Tahrir's "representative member" in Germany, as part of their investigation of the group. They took away documents and computer discs, but Assem was not arrested.

...violence at anticapitalist demonstrations can't be attributed solely to radical groups like AFA. Sebastian Stein, 19, of Bad Munstereifel, Germany, says he went to Sweden on a fishing trip and thought the "Reclaim the City" rally in Goteborg would make for an exciting diversion. But when baton-wielding police moved in to break up the march, Stein shouted something and threw a rock at them; he was shot in the leg and arrested. He now faces up to three years in Swedish prison. "Nothing was prepared here," his lawyer, Claes Ostlund, says...
...unlikely hotbed of anarchism. In Seattle's 1999 antiglobalization protests, it was a group of Eugene activists who helped lead the mayhem; they formed part of the "Black Bloc" that broke windows and trashed stores. But few if any Eugeners are headed to Genoa this week, despite their anticapitalist bent; they're too busy at home. Local anarchists broadcast a weekly radio program and two cable-television shows. They publish half a dozen 'zines, from Black-Clad Messenger to F___ the System, the new jailhouse rag from Free and Critter, and Rob the Rich!, published by prisoner Robert Thaxton...
