In 2005, at the U.N.'s Montreal Climate Negotiations, a ragtag but sizable delegation showed up at the conference, desperate to make sure that the world heard their call for climate action. The event proved to be a formative time for people involved in the youth climate movement, and many date its launch to that time. In a conference notable for acronyms and obscure policy jargon, the youth activism was like a breath of fresh air. While delegates bemoaned th ...

We now 'know,' insofar as we can know these things, that we've got to do everything to hold total temperature increa ...

What the connection with Bali was, I couldn't make out, but I can't help but think ...
