Hi there,

 

Something you may be interested in….more or less a synopsis I guess!

Dear fellow climate campaigner person,

the Copenhagen Climate Conference is less than a month away. There will be a real blizzard of information coming at us from the web, television, radio and so on. In the latest New Internationalist magazine there is a 7 page full-colour cartoon by Manchester-based cartoonist Marc Roberts about the Conference. It's called "Gort and Klaatu's International Climate Slamdown," and uses the metaphor of a wrestling match to outline some of the Issues at stake.

It's now out- you can see it online

here http://www.newint.org/features/cartoon/2009/12/01/climate-cartoon/

 

There is now a website, www.climateslamdown.wordpress.com

, that extends that work. "Climate Slamdown" will give you a few fun perspectives before the conference:

"Piece of Cake" uses the analogy of two people in one restaurant to explain the (historical) social justice issues around climate change. http://climateslamdown.wordpress.com/piece-of-cake/

 

"Imagine my Surprise" is a bit more of a chin-stroker piece. It takes a 500 year perspective on our current dilemma

During the conference, we will creating daily updates of how the negotiations progress (or don't). Within days of the end of the conference, we will post a 'sequel' cartoon looking at the outcomes.

What we are asking what you could do
