Coo-Coo for Copenhagen: keeping up to date on #cop15

Paul Hawkin said something to the likes of that living on this planet at this time is like one long race to the clock striking midnight. If ever there was a moment when this statement could be felt in real time, it is now. Copenhagen has begun. Like many working to get the information out, I have entered into the state of working on two time zones, and last night I even dreamt of Copenhagen. I dreamt of the dichotomy between the policy makers and the people attending, I dreamt of friends who have dedicated their lives to activism and who have participated in some of the more historical actions, and I dreamt of whales. Really, I did. I dreamt I was at a hotel on the water and a whale and it's calf came approached my balcony and asked me if I would feed it. (No surprise since I spent all of yesterday emailing people in Copenhagen and looking at Bryant Austin's life sized photography of whales).

For the next 10 days we will all be permeated by the news of the events taking place in Copenhagen. Current Green will bring you live interviews, guest blogs, and..lists of people coo-coo for Copenhagen on Twitter.

...here is a small list to get you started. It will be updated regularly. You can also check out #Copenhagen (now trending with tiger woods) or #cop15. More lists of who to follow in Copenhagen coming your way.
