U.N. Climate Change Conference: Bringing hope to Copenhagen

From December 7 to 18 of this year, a historic and crucial United Nations Climate Change Conference among the world’s top leaders will be held in Copenhagen, Denmark.

The world’s fate may well hang in the balance at this conference as our world leaders shall determine how we as a global community will respond to the threats posed by global warming which in turn, effect severe climate changes.

I urge all blog readers to join my cause in bringing hope to the important Copenhagen meeting.

Let’s turn Copenhagen into Hopenhagen!

Become a citizen at http://www.hopenhagen.org/ and sign the Climate Petition at this website.

Also join organizations like 350.org and let the world leaders like US President Barack Obama feel the heat to craft “a fair, ambitious, and binding international climate treaty” in Copenhagen and back in their respective countries, pass and implement sound and significant climate policies enough to reduce carbon dioxide in our atmosphere below the critical 350ppm safe upper limit. One concrete way is to join organization’s massive weekend of action and candlelight vigils during the UN Conference.

Let’s all do our share in protecting our planet…the only home we’ve got.



Addendum: Help stop double counting at Copenhagen

In relation to the Copenhagen conference…..

I just signed a petition to Danish Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen, who will be hosting the Copenhagen climate negotiations in December.

Many leaders are promising to help people living in extreme poverty adapt to the effects of climate change. This sounds great, but unfortunately, on closer examination, it turns out most of this money could be double counted - it's money that has already been promised as development aid. This double counting is dangerous as it undermines both sustainable international development and a good global deal on clime change. It needs to be exposed and stopped.

As host of the Copenhagen talks, Mr. Rasmussen is one of the people best placed to make this happen.

Please join me in taking action here:
