Hope and Pressure on US in Barcelona UN Climate Talks

By Andrew P. Jones
November 4, 2009

IMG_0366Best of times and worst of times for the U.S. here at the Barcelona UN Climate talks.

Today we received the “Fossil of the Day” award from the Climate Action Network for not passing a climate bill in the Senate.

And Beth Sawin and I heard a more optimistic group of activists sing “Happy Anniversary to You” to Obama on the eve of his election asking for climate action. Birthday cake and all.

So many delegates from countries around the world really looking to those critical Senators who could swing a deal towards hope!
