Climate Draft Released, etc

Official UN working group draft proposes 50% emission reduction by 2050.  Intense (sometimes rough) negotiations under way in lead up to heads of state arrival (including Obama) on the 18th.   Draft should be posted here later today (for those policy wonks out there):  http://en.cop15.dk/news/view+news?newsid=2938&tip=1

Attended an amazing summit event from indigineous peoples representatives from around the world.    Very impassioned pleas from native peoples to deal with the climate shifts that they are dealing with in real time.  Had some great photos and video but you will just have to take my word for it now....powerful stuff to see the Human face of climate change and those who will be most directly effected in the short term.....not many dry eyes.

Expect some protests today as many feel the commitment is not strong enough to stave off an already serious climatic trajectory.
