Booming commodity sectors-coal, palm oil, and oil and gas (oil)-during the year 2009 bring blessings to a number of Indonesian businessmen. At least, that's reflected in the latest report by Forbes Magazine Asia. Thursday (3 / 12) yesterday, Forbes issued another 40 richest people of this country. Five of them are newcomers, and four out of five people are entrepreneurs in the commodities sector.

Fifth is Ciliandra Fangiono, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) First Resources, crude palm oil producer, aka crude palm oil (CPO); Sandiaga Uno, one of the owners of Adaro Energy; Hashim Djojohadikusumo, oil tycoons and commercial businesses; Bachtiar Karim, Chairman Musim Mas , producer of CPO; and Kusnan and Rusdi Kirana, owner of the second largest airline in Indonesia, Lion Air.

The average rise

During 2009, commodity sector really powerful. Just look at our stock performance. In the last 12 months, according to Forbes, Composite Stock Price Index (JCI) in Indonesia Stock Exchange shot up 115 percent, the second highest in Asia after SE Composite Shenzen, China. Issuer-sector issuers hoist of commodities trading.

No wonder entrepreneurs enjoy the right commodity results. Bakrie, for example. In the new Forbes list, the owner of Bumi Resources was up ratings success. Last year, due to the crisis, the richest man's fortune in 2007 dipped 84 percent from 5.4 billion dollars in 2007, so only 850 million U.S. dollars and only at eighth position. This year, the property Aburizal rose again to 2.5 billion dollars and occupies fourth position.

Low Tuck Kwong, the owner of Bayan, was also connected to each other three money. This year, Bayan shares rose to 474 percent.

Numbers, from a total of 40 billion dollars in 2007, so only 21 billion U.S. dollars. It as the global market downturn, the decline in JCI for 54 percent over 2007, and the weakening of the rupiah.

Owner Djarum Group, Budi and Michael Hartono, this year still occupies the first position with a net worth of 7 billion U.S. dollars. The rest is filled by the old faces.

Afo clove crop conditions in Ternate, North Maluku, which is the oldest pepper plants in the world, is increasingly concerned about the lack of attention from relevant agencies on the existence of these plants.

"I wonder, Afo clove is left neglected, even though it has historical value because it is the oldest clubs in the world," said one observer heritage in Ternate, Didin Saleh, Friday (4 / 12).

Cloves are located in Tongole Sub-District, District Middle Ternate or about 6 km from the center of Ternate, in the stem visible trace of the machete blow irresponsible elements.

Afo clove tree clove is the oldest in the world who are in the city of Ternate. According to the story, clove tree is already down a few months ago.

The clove tree is 416 years old, Height 36.60 m, 198 m Central Line and Circle of 4.26 m. Afo clove is able to produce about 400 kg of cloves per year.

According Didin also a graduate of agriculture, the blow to the pimento tree is 36.6 meters high were allegedly deliberately carried out by certain elements to take part of the trunk of business interests.

According to the information available, the skin and the trunk of the tree cut down from Afo clove tree were sold to researchers from the state actors to develop a tissue culture material.

"If the Ternate municipal government and other stakeholders did not immediately take steps to secure the existence of these Afo clove, I'm afraid in time it was not long clubs will die," he said.

The path from the road to the location of cloves which was about 416 years, also began damaged and there was no sign of local government to fix it.

Ternate municipal government party can not be confirmed Afo clove-related conditions, but formerly Head of Culture and Tourism City of Ternate, Umasangaji Arifin said, Afo clove has become one of the objects of cultural conservation and tourism in Ternate.

Therefore, the Department of Culture and Tourism of Ternate has built various facilities around the location of Afo clove, such as building a path along the 2.5 Km to facilitate the visitors to reach the tree.

Who denies that CO2 (carbon dioxide), one major contributor to global warming? Who argue that CO2 gas concentrations continue to grow? But who knows how bad the gas concentrations in the atmosphere, and for how long this earth to survive?

Consider the recent report by Lord Nicholas Stern (Chairman of the Grantham Research Institute Affairs climate change and the environment in the UK, also an economics professor and chief economist at the World Bank). Lord Nicholas called the concentration of CO2 and other greenhouse gases (or termed CO2e) in the atmosphere now 435 parts per million (ppm).

Some 77 percent of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, CO2 donated. 14 percent methane, and N2O eight percent. Power of methane, as information, 100 times the impact of CO2.

Yet according to a scientific report from the National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration (NOAA) in the U.S., and November 2008, the concentration was 385 ppm CO2e. These figures alone, according to the journal Science, the international imiah-fact have the highest rates for 650,000 years. This ppm, defined as the intensity of gas that traps panasmatahari.

Citing a statement from James Hansen, director of NASA Godart Institute (division of space flight), when people are in level of 450 ppm for a long time, then possibility that the whole ice at the poles will melt. And that means the world ocean waters rose 75 feet.

Scientists estimate the average CO2e levels should increase only 2 ppm per year. That means the level of CO2e in November 2009 in the atmosphere is only 387 ppm.Tapi fact, only a year, reaching levels of 50 ppm CO2e.

James returned to the estimates, the question is: to get to the level of 450 ppm, just how many years or how many months, or how many weeks, if there is no any human effort to reduce greenhouse gases?

With other NASA scientists estimate, Jay Zwally in December 2007, the north polar ice can be discharged at the end of summer 2012. The ice was 80 percent reflective functioning heat. Without the poles, the sun will go 90 percent of the earth, far exceeds the heat that should only be 20 percent.

Jay confirmed serious danger of mass extinction due to global warming out of control. Jay represents NASA's "scream" and that too two years ago. This means that, if pulled forward, saw a meteoric CO2e levels, does not make sense that Jay anxiety can occur more quickly.

Now, let us examine the causes of global warming. In 2006, FAO (the UN body under the charge of food and agriculture) released a report that livestock contributes 18 percent of global warming. (By comparison, a combination of all modes of transportation in the world contributed only 13.5 per cent).

But in November 2009, two scientists of the world bank and Jeff Peter Goodland Anhang-issued in the journal World Watch Institute, revised the figure was 18 percent, to 51 percent. And that too has not entered a calculation that methane is 100 times the power of CO2.

"NASA, the World Watch Institute, and is NOOA institutions of professional, independent, and its data into a reference data many international institutions. They also used data from the data such as FA0 trusted institution," said Augustine Madyana Son, who is also environmentalists University architecture professor Atma Jaya Yogyakarta.

So, what's the solution to global warming could diicegah? From this data, predictable, we must reduce consumption of meat far. So the impact of reduced farm, plus we are more healthy. It is, of course, appeal to reduce the meat is not popular in Indonesia. Even considered excessive. But if we want the earth destroyed and our children and grandchildren threatened her life?

Think about the impact of livestock and meat, not just simply highlight and comment 'without foundation' that is caused by the vegetarians in suggesting. This is about that people should do things properly and quickly so that our grandchildren can mengenyam beautiful life on earth. "I just said, eating meat is closely correlated with global warming," said Agus.

Agus hope the scientists, even President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono will visit the data data and do something, at least an appeal to reduce meat. Indonesia Masihkah scientists say that the farm land has nothing to do with the global farm, when all people living in the same earth?
