Cool It! Countdown to Copenhagen
Negotiations have officially ended at the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark, involving officials from almost 200 countries. Called a "failure" and even a "tragedy" by many, some of the most active organizations pushing for a fair, ambitious and binding international climate treaty are looking at the less than stellar results of negotiations as just a beginning to the next phase of their movement for "climate justice."
Link TV's series Climate Change Hits Home brings the issue to the kitchen table, showing with a collection of stories that the impact of climate change is not a foreign subject. Browse these pages for facts, videos, and action ideas about the devastation that continues post-Copenhagen.
From December 7-19th, Link TV partnered with Justin.tv and OneClimate.net to bring you Copenhagen 24/7. Thousands tuned in to watch events unfold in the Danish capital as leaders and negotiators from almost 200 countries met to decide the fate of our global climate. |
