While we were outside of President Obama's hotel in Oslo yesterday, I spotted Sonia standing there by herself with a sign that read "Help me save Tuvalu." I stopped and asked her to explain what she meant by that.
Inaction on climate change will likely mean that the small island nation of Tuvalu will cease to exist within the next 10 to 15 years. This is one of the many reasons why it is morally imperative that our leaders establish an ambitious deal to halt climate change in its tracks. They can do that right here in Copenhagen if they summon the political courage to do so.
