Gesang als Protest gegen die Klimapolitik der USA bei der #COP23 pic.twitter.com/dKW8p4LV0o— Andreas Dyck (@andreasdyck) November 13, 2017
After this flashmob by members of the alternative US delegation (www.wearestillin.com), the room was fairly empty. Only a handful stayed on to hear the preposterously titled presentation of the official US delegation ("The Role of Cleaner and More Efficient Fossil Fuels and Nuclear Power in Climate Mitigation"). Outside, the crowd of protesters included representatives from all participating nations. In the footage I spotted Amy Goodman and Dallas Goldtooth.

Love it!
ReplyDeleteOh, Amy Goodman! I used to love her radio show on Pacifica, "Democracy Now." Horrifying to think I was listening to that almost 20 years ago, and look where we are now!
ReplyDeletehooray for them and I hope the 'official' delegation was properly humiliated by presenting to a nearly empty room.
ReplyDeletePraise God for protesters.
ReplyDeleteThank heavens some of our U.S. lower level leaders are doing their best to address environmental issues, but it is disgraceful a minority of our population elected national leaders they did.
