Posted Tue Nov 12 2013: from CommonDreams:
Philippine Rep Makes Plea for 'Global Solidarity' to Fight 'Climate Madness' http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1384224616
"What my country is going through as a result of this extreme climate event is madness. The climate crisis is madness," Saņo told the assembly, describing the massive devastation and thousands feared dead following Typhoon Haiyan, the "strongest in modern recorded history." "We can stop this madness. Right here in Warsaw," he added, appealing to the representatives of nearly 200 countries who assembled in a bid to reach a new agreement to replace the Kyoto protocol that expired last year. Many anticipate the talks will only amount to a 2015 agreement for new limits on greenhouse gas emissions.... To climate change deniers, or those countries who are less impacted by the effects of global warming and therefore are less motivated to enact meaningful change, Saņo challenged them before the Warsaw assembly, saying, "I dare them, I dare them to get off their ivory towers and away from the comfort of their armchairs."
