64: Carbon Credits and the CIA

Hydropower Environmental Impact, Trouw Daily Report

A report from the Dutch newspaper Trouw suggests that large-scale hydroelectric dams may contribute more to global warming than fossil fuel plants due to reservoir emissions. The World Commission on Dams estimates that between 40 and 80 million people have been displaced by such projects worldwide. There is skepticism regarding whether this information is legitimate environmental science or oil industry propaganda.
