Kitchen window morning of December 19

The international gathering that could have heralded in historic guidelines for nations to follow to help ensure our planets future, the Copenhagen Conference has now come and gone with an unsurprising result. All the major players needing more time so they can figure out how the hell their nations can change to save the planet, without suffering major economic changes. It's all pretty disheartening that no one has enough balls to try and save some of our planets natural beauty for future generations. I hate to say it but the future of earth looks bleak and drastically different than what our previous generations were lucky to enjoy.

Check out Bob McDonalds blog. He sums it up in an easy to understand fashion.

Here in Smithers last night I joined tens of thousands of citizens around the globe by participating in a candle vigil in hope encouraging all levels of Canadian government to provide much-needed leadership and help show world leaders meeting in Copenhagen, Denmark to recognize the climate imperative and work together toward a collective solution that is ambitious, fair and binding.

Our MLA Doug Donaldson was there, the Wet'suwet'en were represented by Mel Bazil. He spoke briefly and preformed a traditional welcoming song. Our MP Nathan Cullen called in from Ottwa and there was video presentation and an "audio postcard" from others around the world who are also holding events in the same spirit. The "audio postcard" was very powerful and made me feel that it wasn't a pointless exercise.

Everyone attending lit candles tried to sing a version of Bobs, the Times They Are A Changin' and formed the number 350.

You have to do something.

Do you care?

June, 11, 2010 is the first day of competition for the worlds most popular sporting event. The World Cup is being hosted by South Africa, which amazing. How great of FIFA to make such a unique and surprising choice for the host nation. It will be great as usual and this is the ball that Wayne Rooney will be pounding past the worlds finest goalies.
