The Illusion of Safety

posted by Bill Sharon on December 21, 2009

There is an assumption that one of the fundamental purposes of government is to provide for the safety of its citizens. One could argue that Americans enjoy that safety. There have been no terrorist attacks in the US since 9/11 and the crime rates in most cities have been declining for years. Although the world seems to be as uncertain a place as we have ever known in this generation we all operate as though we can get through our lives relatively unscathed. Yet we have more people in prison than any other country in the world and we manage to shoot and kill each other at rates that dwarf those in any other developed nation. Safety, it would seem, depends on your perspective.

Have a peak at this scanned version of the final text of the Copenhagen Accord <http://climatebonds.net/2009/12/final-text-of-the-cop15-agreement/> . On the same page you can see a copy of the draft text from Friday 5am, as apparently discussed by heads of state on Friday morning. A treat for the history buffs among you.

D-day in Copenhagen

posted by Malini Mehra on December 18, 2009

The moment of truth has arrived. Today will reveal whether the world will be able to 'Seal the deal' on climate change in Copenhagen. After two years of negotiations, now is the time we will see how serious our leaders are in addressing the greatest crisis facing humanity and our natural world: climate change.
