The air is thick with foul deals and dangerous compromises. The delegates are whispering behind closed doors.
An Indian friend told me during the Dow action:
If you can talk, you can sing
If you can walk, you can dance
Mahi,
You know that because of the process of policy making, which gives that power to be influential to the rich and powerfull, there will be no miracles. We will not see the USA coming with great decisions on phasing out fossil fuels and going for renewables, accepting and ratifyibng the Kioto Protocol, or the EU deciding to scrap the actual Common Agriculture Policy, routing it away from the subsidized environmental damaging methods towards eco-agriculture. Or changing the same CAP to enable the Soutrh to export their goods...No, unfortunatelly we will see more of the same. Everybody will be looking into their own belly and checking the best way to make it bigger than the neighbours'.
But we will not give up. We will keep fighting at all levels, local to international, keeping the momentum towards change. The Earth and the living creatures that inhabit it deserve all our effort.
