Indigenous leaders from around the world oppose profit mechanisms for fighting climate change.
 UNITED NATIONS, (Tierramérica).- International policymakers are facing fierce criticism from the leaders of the world's 370 million indigenous peoples over plans to use carbon markets as one of the tools to mitigate climate change.
"It's a new way to make money," said Jihan Gearon of the U.S.-based Indigenous Environmental Network. "It has nothing to do with environmental concerns or indigenous peoples' rights."

Global Warming Affects World's Largest Freshwater Lake
Lake Baikal in Siberia had been thought resistant to climate change
Russian and American scientists have discovered that the rising temperature of the world's largest lake, located in frigid Siberia, shows that this region is responding strongly to global warming.
Drawing on 60 years of long-term studies of Russia's Lake Baikal, Stephanie Hampton, an ecologist and deputy director of the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS) in Santa Barbara, Calif., and Marianne Moore, a biologist at Wellesley College in Wellesley, Mass., along with four other scientists, report their results on-line today in the journal Global Change Biology.
