I blog about environmental and social justice issues because I am very concerned about the health of the interdependent web of life of which we are a part.

Perhaps Britain's PM Has Read the SOS From the Maldives Cabinet

http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2009/oct/19/brown-copenhagen-talks-warning

Gordon Brown as quoted in the Guardian:  "In every era there are only one or two moments when nations come together and reach agreements that make history, because they change the course of history.  Copenhagen must be such a time. There are now fewer than 50 days to set the course of the next 50 years and more. If we do not reach a deal at this time, let us be in no doubt: once the damage from unchecked emissions is done, no retrospective global agreement is some future period can undo that choice.  By then it will be irretrievably too late."
