Maldives and Climate Change Action Day Open Thread
As Bill McKibben said, Politicians Have Failed in Efforts to Stave Off Climate Change, Now It's Up to Us.
Tomorrow night, I will be posting a diary at Daily Kos and here, trying to round up bloggers to take part in International Day of Climate Action, next Saturday, October 24th. Two actions are planned.
Clicking here will take you to interactive map at 350.org, where you can do a search to find out what actions are planned for your community.
DK GreenRoots is also hoping to get enough bloggers signed up for next Saturday to blog about climate change or report on your climate action day event with postings every 20 minutes to kind of monopolize the recent diary list.
Today, the President of Maldives continued his campaign to alert the world to climate change impacts by conducting the first ever underwater cabinet meeting to sign a declaration calling for carbon levels of 350 ppm.
Here's a video of the meeting:
Thinking of writing an action diary with poll and asking if some will join me in a meatless day on saturday. Once I have some committed by poll I can calculate how much CO2 emissions we will save by going meatless for that day. Your thoughts?
very creative and drives the point home too.
By far my favorite politician.
for his people and others. i describe a little bit of that in my diary tomorrow (teaser
) but he wants to do his best it seems to protect them and prevent them from becoming refugees forced to live in some camps of some country after the Maldives are gone.
Bill McKibben, the founder of 350.org, will be on DailyKos for a liveblog/chat Monday, 10/19 at 7 PM Eastern/4 PM Pacific.
