maybe the BEES were climate-related (just a little bit ant-sy too….!)
when you take the media circus out of a world meeting (unlike Copenhagen), you can get some proper work done. When too much media spotlight is on such meetings, you get entertainment, gestures, quick short visits by people like Obama, and nothing concrete….
But take most of the media out, and some actual agreements seem to happen. I guess the right people go to the less publicised world meetings.
Much more clearly needs to be done… but that goodness a positive start has begun.
Please exploin…………………….
What the hell was this mish-mash of rubbish.
Don’t mean to be a snob, but I doubt whether the people screaming wouldn’t know what the UN was, let alone anything about climate change.
This looks more like cuts from when Oprah announced they were coming to Australia…………..
Hmmmm. The cult of personality raises it’s ugly head once more.
stozonom… it was meant to be a bit of a joke. it was clearly cuts from a studio audience… from other events… superimposed over the news of the climate summit. It was trying to pretent that people really cared about climate change and would get really excited at good news about countries trying to do something about it.
It really was cut and pasted…. you suspected correctly…. and it was done for effect. To make a clever point about how unexcited people are. And how we are more easily excited by someone like Oprah rather than the huge issues of our day!
Sorry Jim,
Obviously too clever for me.
And I am a fan of irony………..
