Struggles over ever-more scarce natural resources are likely to be a theme in our future. The NYT recently posted a photo-essay documenting six topos affecting growth and climate change. The sixth deals with Brazil, and it is the most positive trend of the lot: Brazil is curbing deforestation. Government policies, put in place since 2004, have nicely reduced the number of acres of the Amazon being logged. We are all beneficiaries. The essay is brief, worth the read, and covers a good deal of ground.
