BLOG ACTION DAY 2009: Bangkok Summary, Facebook Groups
You might not know it, but today it is BLOG ACTION DAY 2009 and in this year the theme for the whole of the day it is CLIMATE CHANGE. So I am very supporting of this idea, and everyone should go to there and read all the good messages. And I will be reading later, and I will be trying to give you some good links here, later.
And also if you are on FACEBOOK, there are some very good groups that you should join for Climate Change:
SEAL THE DEAL! (about Copenhagen and UNFCCC)
Eco-Islam (Muslim)
Inheritors of the Earth (Muslim)
Muslim Green Team (Muslim --- of course)
Now for the summary of the latest UNFCCC Meeting in Bangkok:
[[[ I am sorry if this is late for you... but I did want to wait for this Blog Action Day. ]]]
The meeting it was from 28 September to 9 October, nearly the last meeting before the agreements must be made in Copenhagen in December.
It is bad news. Still everything is VERY SLOW, and some reports say the most likely outcome in Copenhage is a WEAK or NO DEAL.
The rich countrys do not agree, and the poor countrys are feeling that there is no help. There is no agreement on moneys to pay for helping the poor developing countrys to reduce there emissions. Also no agreement on the emission reductions for partway through the agreement, although earlier some countrys have agreed to 80% reduction by 2050, but that is a long way away and it is not enough to make action immediately.
But there is one small flicker of the light at the end of the tunnel, because the very very long paper which was written in Bonn has been cut by half. So at least something is happening.
It is very very important not to stop now. We must not give up, and we must all tell our governments to make sure that there is a GOOD deal, and MEANINGFUL TARGETS agreed in Copenhagen.
