Posted By Olivia Chen On December 11, 2009 @ 1:25 pm In global warming | No Comments
Today marks the end of the first week of the landmark climate talks that have been taking place in Copenhagen [4], and there’s already been so much news surrounding the conference on the interwebs that we thought you could use a quick refresher! While most of the major news networks have been broadcasting the main points that we’ve already gone over with you [5], there are also a bunch of titillating side stories and developments that we thought would pique your interest. For example, did you hear that “COP15″ hit the web’s #1 most googled term [6] the other day? Here are some more lesser known tidbits about Copenhagen that you can use to impress your friends over Friday night drinks tonight.
Treehugger [7] says that Gordon Brown believes that if you still think climate change is a crock [8], you can join the group of people who believed the world was flat. And for those of us that do believe, help create a Twitter book [9] for Copenhagen.
Guardian [10] reminds us that nothing important in this world can happen without it becoming a video on YouTube [11].
If you really want to make a personal change to help the planet, you should eat less meat and dairy [12] — and submit a question to be asked at COP15 here [13]. You have until December 14th!
Forbes [14] reports that China has turned hostile on “The West.” [15] (China also says that climate change can be fought with population control [16])
Grist [17] produces the first of quirky videos featuring Eugene Mirman as he reports on all the Copenhagen happenings [18].
Worldchanging [19] reminds us that those who walk, save the planet [20].
