Posts for Copenhagen


The UN Conference on Climate Change began today with a "Cultural Opening Ceremony" which involved a 4 minute video featuring a young girl dreaming that climate change is going to:
1) change her lush playground into a desert
2) cause earthquakes to split the earth swallowing up her stuffed polar bear friend
3) create black swirling skies that shoot funnels of wind down from the heavens to devour her city
Quite alarming. But the actual conference won't be filled with such alarmist talk will it? If we want to lower carbon emissions, go ahead. But did I miss the evidence that if we do not start this month, we're hooped?
