World leaders from Hu Jintao to Barack Obama have pledged to take action on climate change. But there seems to be little faith that an agreement of substance will be reached in Copenhagen later this year. So what are the politics of global climate change? And what's at stake? Nobel Peace Prize winner Wangari Maathai of Kenya on the UN deliberations and what can be expected at the climate summit in December.

Two more deserving recipients could not have been found to receive this recognition. It was wonderful to see Dr. Maathai receive this acknowledgement for all of her environmental work via The Greenbelt Movement and her sacrifice on behalf of our planet and the people of Kenya and the world. And it is always wonderful to see Mr. Gore get the recognition he too deserves for decades of vision and work in stewardship to our planet and in raising awareness of the real threat of climate change. The entire show last night was very well done. Congratulations to the NAACP on their centennial.Two more deserving recipients could not have been found to receive this recognition.... more

Great choices. Both Al Gore and Wangari Maathai have done so much to raise awareness and take action to protect our environment. There have been 40 million trees planted as a result of Wangari Mathaai-s efforts through the Greenbelt Movement, and we know what has taken place in the awakening of consciousness as a result of An Inconvenient Truth and Mr. Gore-s perseverence and passion for the environment over thirty years. Both Nobel Laureates are very deserving of any accolades they receive. Congratulations to them both.Great choices. Both Al Gore and Wangari Maathai have done so much to raise awareness... more
