Visitors at the Klimaforum

What was that about in Copenhagen? Winston Churchill once said: ‘Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.‘ Well, is that what politics are about? Will Mexico be a faillure again?

Anyhoo, I was in a coma last month, yet I feel a little better. The doctors took me to the School of Arts in Hilversum (The Netherlands) today to show those creative people who I am.

I really want to show you some reactions I got in Copenhagen. Some people wrote their sympathy down, others their frustrations.

COP 15

Well, nice speach Barack Obama, but were is the ‘act’?  Shouldn’t America take the lead on this?

And this new Copenhagen Accord, what is it anyway? Nothing is being done about Climate Justice, nothing is clear about reducing emissions. It’s a disaster for world’s poor! Especially for Africa.

I’m very disappointed about COP 15 and this some kind of agreement. I think I may speak on behalf of the world that we’re in great grief and anger! I hope there will be a useful deal next year in Mexico… Like Shakespeare once said: ‘Strong reasons make strong actions.’

Hi there!

All well and good, though I ’ve heard the gigantic negociations at the cop15 are not doing that awesome… It’s pretty sad to say, but no deal is better than a bad deal. This whole cap and traid thingy and all this half-hearted solutions are a load of rubbish!

Anyhoo, today I was moved to the foyer of the Klimaforum because of this whole issue. I’m pretty weak right now, ’cause it makes me so angry and I don’t know what to do!! So here I get a lot more attention. So dear visitors I really want to thank you for visiting me! It’s heartwarming to look at those caring people.

Love & peace,

Gary Feeling angry
