Chase and Klein Arrive in Copenhagen

Posted by admin on December 10, 2009 | No Comments

We arrived yesterday… unfortunately, Carolyn has caught a cold, which is slowing up down some. However, this evening we did go to the Bella Center, where the conference is taking place, and picked up our (Sierra Club/NGO) badge. We attended the daily Sierra Club briefing, and visited the exhibit area. You can see photos of the exhibits here:

Not a lot to report about the conference proceedings for the day… the proceeding were suspended for much of the day over a political dispute. Still a lot of uncertainty over whether the conference will produce great results, nothing at all, or something between.

“We call on the representatives of the 192 countries gathered in Copenhagen
not to hesitate, not to fall into dispute, not to blame each other but to
seize opportunity from the greatest failure of modern politics.”

Great social achievements…

Posted by admin on December 6, 2009 | No Comments

“Each of the great social achievements of recent decades has come about not because of government proclamations, but because people organized, made demands and made it good politics for governments to respond. It is the political will of the people that makes and sustains the political will of governments.”
James Grant, Executive Director, UNICEF
