Activism at COP 15

There were only a few people in the audience for the "Americans for Prosperity" by climate change denier, the Viscount Monckton of Brenchley. The event was being broadcast to denier events in the U.S. Nearly 50 US youth joined the small audience in small groups and then let their voices be heard! Check out this video:

Later the younger people from "Friends of the Earth" were marching through the halls demanding that the negotiations continue. "350 Now."

It's quite a contrast to the VERY slow process in the actual plenary meetings and committee meetings that are working on the actual text.
