I don’t know about you: but the situation of Copenhagen blows my mind on a daily basis. The fact that it is very possibly one of the most significant decision making processes of this time re climate change policy, and the majority of people I know do not know it’s significance, or the impact of the decisions making process. It’s not their fault. It’s a failure of media makers.

So what are we doing? For starters we are working on a series called 360 Degrees of Copenhagen, to show the various perspectives in order to gain a better understanding of the relevance of the climate talks.

But for now, I am posing the question to you: can you explain Copenhagen in plain English? Do you have a blog post, a quick phrase that you use to tell your friends and family the relevance of the Copenhagen climate talks? And why people should care? Leave a comment, and we’ll compile share.

I like to tell my friends if they were going to pick one particular moment in history to engage their political leaders on climate change: THIS is that moment.

Meanwhile~tcktcktck is rocking my world by their dedication to communicating the urgency of the moment:

    • Grate post. I have found that explaining the affects of ocean acidification and the resulting lack of food seems to get people thinking. Talk to strangers while waiting in line for coffee. No need to convince anyone. Just keep making noise.

    • All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

      → Arthur Schopenhauer

      The politicians need to be at the "self-evident" stage, or be prepared for all hell to break loose.
