At the recent <A title="UN Climate Change Conference" href="http://unfccc.int/meetings/cop_14/items/4481.php">2008 UN Conference on Climate Change</A> in Poland, visitors could stand in line with several wicker-people in an exhibit entitled “Lonely Tree, Lonely People” — all waiting for its chance to show some limb-y love to the symbolically lone tree.
