Meeting background
If you want to know more about the meeting to which thousands of
people will be jetting across the world here's the short version of
what is a huge and complicated meeting:
Bali can't be "just another meeting". Global warming is now a
global emergency. Governments must ensure there's route map to
agreeing deep cuts in global greenhouse emissions. The challenges
are to divert the energy juggernaut towards clean energy and to
stop felling the world's forests for commodities such as palm
oil.
But soft words don't move governments. Even on a problem as
urgent as climate change where the survival of millions of people
and countless species of animals and plants is in the balance. Not
when trillion-dollar polluting industries and logging companies
have highly-paid lobbyists.
