The environmental group,
Greenpeace, has warned of what
it sees as the danger to the
climate posed by widescale
land clearance in Indonesia
linked to booming demand for
palm oil production. Palm oil
is an ingredient in all sorts
of food and also a bio-fuel
added to diesel for cars. But
Greenpeace said the burning
and destruction of forests and
the clearing of peat wetlands
was causing a massive release
of carbon dioxide. It called
for the destruction to stop.
