China planting trees and more

China has been criticized in regard to global warming activities, but this article certainly points to some very positive action. From Xinhua " The Chinese government has planted 2.6 billion trees, bringing the total on the planet to 7.3 billion trees planted in 167 countries worldwide, according to a report by United Nations (UN) Environment Program, which was released on Sept. 21."

Since we are on the topic of China, I have also added this link to the speech by Chinese President Hu Jintao to the UN General Assembly on Sept. 22, 2009. What China will do in specifics, remains to be seen, but this speech certainly presents meaningful objectives to control adverse climate change.
