FINAL STATEMENT AT THE CLOSURE OF THE UNFCCC COP6
"If governments continue to act irresponsibly, as
they have done this week, then people from rich countries should prepare
to build ever higher and wider dikes, from which they can watch the rest
of the world suffer and drown from climate change. Either that or demand
that politicians give them access to the solutions to climate change in
the form of clean energy and energy efficiency".
