WORLD leaders may continue to defend themselves, but it will not change the fact that they failed to live up to the world’s expectations at the 15th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP15). Indeed, the Copenhagen Accord — the “deal” that governments agreed to take note of at COP15 — did not spell out the […]

FAQs on climate change

(Pic by Spekulator / sxc.hu) COP15 was a failure. Does this mean Planet Earth is doomed? No. Planet Earth will survive even if we cross our climate system’s tipping point and trigger runaway climate change. In tackling climate change, it’s not the earth we’re trying to save. It’s ourselves and other species that could possibly […]

An estimated 100,000 people marched on the streets of Copenhagen on 12 Dec IF a bridge had a 50% chance of collapsing, would you cross it? I wouldn’t. But it seems that most developed countries, except Norway, are willing to take this risk in the face of our global climate crisis, just so they can […]

Citizen-led actions at COP15

[get_post_meta single=1 key="byline"] | December 10, 2009 1 Comment

ANYONE who thought that the current United Nations (UN) climate negotiations in Copenhagen were just about people in suits talking gibberish (UN speak) would be surprised by the colourful actions at Bella Center. The centre is where the 15th UN Climate Change Conference (COP15) is being held until 18 Dec 2009. Environmental activists, youths, indigenous […]

Are we coordinated over green?

[get_post_meta single=1 key="byline"] | December 4, 2009 1 Comment

The new philanthropy favoured by supermodels, Hollywood actors, politicians and that irritating friend living down your road.   I’ve heard that it’s “in” to label anything green these days, and that the tendency to join the bandwagon is but a disingenuous public relations-centred […]
