Wonderful, Wonderful Copenhagen

Posted on | December 7, 2009 |

That was the start of a song in the 6os called, well, ‘Wonderful Copenhagen’ which was a big hit in England at the time.

Today, December 7th, is Pearl Harbor Day, and it’s also the start of the Copenhagen Summit Conference on Global Warming. The British press is making much of this event, and the same front page is going to be carried by 56 newspapers world-wide to publicize the need for consensus and action on global warming.

No major US papers have joined in, with the exception of the Miami Herald.

Shame on us, I say.  December 7th was a Day of Infamy once, when the Japanese attacked in 1941.  This time, if possible, the stakes are even higher. Our whole world needs to mobilize to head off global warming.  Will we do it?

That depends upon you, really, doesn’t it?
