Beautiful Planet

The green summit in Copenhagen began today with hemming about a binding contract. What was suggested were 'political agreements.'

A petition with 10 MILLION SIGNATURES from around the globe asks instead for a REAL DEAL TO SAVE OUR PLANET.

You can sign this petition at tcktcktck.org. I did.

The following comes from the facebook group, YOU can influence the climate summit in Copenhagen from your home:

... today, IndyACT and its partners in the tcktcktck coalition submitted a petition with 10 MILLION signatures to the Danish government and negotiators asking for a REAL DEAL.

So, the topic to mobilize about is: "The World is Ready, Make a Real Deal"

So start blogging, tweeting, changing your status, talking about the 10 million people asking for a real deal. We still can do it.

Below is the press release to help you:

10 million are ready for climate action

Copenhagen: Monday, December 7, 2009: A staggering 10 million people – and growing – have united in a call for a fair, ambitious and binding climate treaty1 to be signed by world leaders at the Copenhagen climate negotiations which open today.

The expectations of more than 10 million people who have already signed TckTckTck’s petition were handed over to key figures at the climate talks: UNFCCC Executive Secretary Yvo de Boer, Danish Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen and COP 15 President and Danish Climate Minster Connie Hedegaard.

TckTckTck chair and Greenpeace International Executive Director Kumi Naidoo said the size of the petition demonstrated the huge groundswell of support for world leaders to deal with climate change.

“The world has spoken,” Mr Naidoo said. “Leaders must and can deliver a deal that will save the climate. One that is fair to the poorest people and countries that did not cause this problem but that will suffer the most from it, ambitious enough to leave a safe planet for us all and one that is legally binding, that can be monitored and real targets that can be enforced.”
