Copenhagen climate talks

My view is that all the evidence suggests that copenhagen will produce a bad deal that will fail to sufficiently address climate change and cause many climate and other problems for people while maintaining 'green capitalism' options for those in financial power to make more money.
lobbying by NGOs might slightly improve this but the essential character of an innefective 'green capitalist' model will remain the same.

Given that governments are going to do this anyway we should actually allow the NGOs to do their thing and try and make it better (and especially encourage them to resist moves that would have negative effects - such as biofuel expansion, trading away responsibility etc), but we should say that even the best possible agreement will only be a small proportion of what is needed and the only real solution is for communities all over the world to take back the power and make copenhagen irrelevant. They are trying to use the systems that caused the problem to be a solution even the best deal will be only a small part of the solution and the worst will just be more of the problem

what we should actually DO at copenhagen

call for them to at least not make things worse and make the real world's job harder
call for measures that would enable and empower communities who are the real solution
call on communities and individuals to make copenhagen even more irrelevant than it already is
shut them in until they agree on something that wont make the problem worse

the lack of ambition for copenhagen sounds on the face of it to be a negative message, but actually it's a hugely positive one - "you've been fucking it up for real people for so long the best we can hope for is that you decide to stop doing that and allow us to get on with it - in the real world we know what to do and we know how to do it - just look at the fantastic movements that are happening"
