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

Today was my first day at the Klimaforum! I got a lot of attention today. Many people came by and left me a message. I will post these messages as soon as possible on my ‘wish me well’  page. Anyhoo, as you can see, there’s a live stream from my point of view, so you can see how popular I am! Are you coming too? Visit me at the Oksnehallen to give me a smile, especially the pretty ladies…

A friend of mine produced a nice movie, please take a look. My mother is in it, ’cause she is in a nursing home at the moment. She’s in somewhat the same position as I am: they take care of us with those machinery.

“Heal the world, make it a better place” (Michael Jackson) Very cheasy, though necessary!

Love&peace,

On my way to Copenhagen by crossing the border to Denmark the police wanted to check our luggage and me. We had to wait for two hours! They must have thought I was a weed plant, haha. Well I don’t know if you get high if you would smoke me…

Anyhoo, some of my pretty friends were already in Copenhagen, so they joined The Flood and the demonstrations today. Watch the movie on ‘my inspirations‘ to get impression. It was very impressive to hear that so much people joined, though all those flyers are pretty hypocrite.

Hasta la vista!

This is me

I know, it’s somewhat hypocritical they’re taking me to the Klimaforum in Copenhagen to show what the state of the environment is. All well and good, though they keep me alive with a lot of equipment and so on. Meanwhile there are people dying in the global south because of climate change…

Are you willing to get your hands dirty? Let me know your green wishes at ‘wish me well‘.

Love&peace,

Well, these friendly doctors’ll take me to Copenhagen in a few days, in spite of my critical health. They have to take care of me all the time and I can’t do without all those machinery. I feel like some kind of robot: ‘We’re functioning automatik. And we are dancing mechanik. We are the robots‘ (Kraftwerk) So I can’t join the protests myself, but I will be at the Klimaforum from 13-17 december.  See you there?

Anyhoo, I was wondering about China. It’s like one of the most polluted countries, though they have great power (in Copenhagen). Doesn’t sound like a pretty good combination… Well, China hasn’t that much emission per citizen as a  lot of so called developed countries and historically they are less responsible. What do you think about this issue?

See you soon!

Love,

Gary

‘Blow, blow, thou winter wind
Thou art not so unkind,
As man’s ingratitude.’
William Shakespeare

Today is the kick-off in Copenhagen, but I’m not there yet. Yesterday the wind suddenly started blowing as if the whole world would burst out in pieces. Apparently it wasn’t that bad, however one of my branches splitted. A somewhat old, but nice, woman took me to the first-aid. Well, the doctors had to amputate my branch. Anyhoo, now I have a fresh scar with a good story.

So I need this artificial respiration again and I get some extra water. My health is pretty critical… I hope there’ll be a solution soon, so that I can go to Copenhagen!

Love & peace,

Gary

Hi! So I’ve been brought to the Pacific. It’s pretty over here, but also hot! Like the humidity though. Really does me good after the smog… A few months ago I met Maria here in the neighborhood. In the video below she tells about her experience of facing the destruction of her homeland and her call to global leaders to act fast to preserve her way of life and that of millions of others.

‘The times there a changin’ (Bob Dylan) Well, it’s pretty rude: Marias’ house will disappear because of the careless approach of other humans.

Hopefully I can meet Maria in Copenhagen next month. Some doctors (or something) told me they’ll take me there to show the world what the health of the climate is today. Yay!

Love&peace,
Gary
