  Disappointment, inspiration; hope and fear

At 4AM this morning, as I stood in line bleary-eyed, waiting for a cancelled flight and reading a sobering but beautiful collection of tiny Vonnegut essays, one piece, Requiem , struck a chord with me. An excerpt: "The crucified planet Earth, should it find a voice and a sense of irony,...... [view]

During the COP this morning, after inspiring remarks by Ban Ki-moon, Secretary General of the UN, the prime minister of Tuvalu, a tiny island nation which has been representing the alliance of small island states, (AOSIS, a negotiating bloc at this conference) made the following statement:......

  "They seem to have forgotten that human beings live in my part of the world"

A youth delegate from Fiji just made a comment that I need to share: "They seem to have forgotten that human beings live in my part of the world." There is still no sense of urgency here. In our meeting with Canadian Environment Minister Jim Prentice this morning, he essentially denied that there...... [view]

  Canadian youth share heated exchange with Alberta Environment Minister Renner

Let me begin on a light note in what might be an otherwise heavy post by saying that I can't believe Thea made an " i can has cheezburger " reference on the CYD Poznan blog.

  bicycles that go backwards (truth and non-truth in communications)

  Please don't help me bury my garbage

If you offered to help someone bury their garbage in their yard, and they said they'd just rather you didn't, would you just let the matter drop?

  Soil Carbon at the COP (finally)!

Since everyone else will probably cover the workshop from the Ad-Hoc Working Group for the Kyoto Protocol (AWG-KP), where Canada explained very nicely how we live far away from each other and it gets very cold here in the winter, so... you know... mitigation... what can you do?...
