"You will become frontrunners of your generation. You are the future, and I hope that you will remember Copenhagen as the beginning when you look back 10-20 years from now,” said Else Sommer from City of Copenhagen’s Department of Children and Family Care as she opened the Children’s Climate Forum on November 28.
The symbolism could not be stronger when the delegates, 165 children from 44 countries, plastered handprints in all the colours of the rainbow on a large globe and lifted it up, declaring the forum open.
“Children have a great ability to communicate, because we can hold hands and unite. While we are here, we can teach each other a lot about our cultures and what we are going through in our countries. We can come up with ideas of how to mitigate the effects of cliamte change to protect our environment, our countries, and the world at large, ” says Vanessa Njovu from the Zambian delegation.
Over the next week the children will share their local experiences of climate change and debate solutions, concluding in a resolution to be handed over to Connie Hedegaard, Minister for the UN Climate Change Conference 2009, at the close of the forum.
The forum is a collaboration between UNICEF, the City of Copenhagen and 22 Danish school classes acting as hosts for the visiting children.
Many of the child delegations represent ‘at risk’ countries, particularly vulnerable to climate change, such as Konduani Joe Banda from Zambia, a country struggling with droughts and heavy rain falls.
“The effects of climate change have been taking place gradually over the last five years in Zambia. If the sea levels rise in other countries, we see floods in Zambia, resulting in the spread of disease. Rain falls are also happening at the wrong time, and the country suffers under deforestation,” explains Mr. Banda.
After the forum, the children are to educate other children in their home countries on climate change issues.
And what is the message from the children to the adults at COP15, so far?
“Children are the grass roots of all nations, so if our opinion is taken into consideration it can affect the world at large. My message to the negotiators is less talk, more action. We want to see that the conference actually has an impact,” concludes Mr. Banda.
“You will become frontrunners of your generation. You are the future”
...you’re feeling sleepy...sleeeepy.
Tomorrow belongs ...
Tomorrow belongs to me ..."
Child abuse!
Someone should tell the little brats that they’d get an extra two weeks of summer vacation if global warming comes to pass. That would put an end to this particular gambit.
And people wonder how we could have had a ‘children’s crusade’, and how Iran could use children to stop Iraqi bullets, etc. . .
Evil people will use children at any oportunity to gain an edge on the foolish and gullible (stupid) people.
Kids, take your scripted message and GO HOME!
More importantly though is the question,
What will Michelle WEAR ??
Children love Kool Aid as we all know that indoctrination must occur early if to establish that “future generation.”
THIS is why you will NEVER hear the Envirofrauds admitt they lied:
“As soon as by one’s own propaganda even a glimpse of right on the other side is admitted, the cause for doubting one’s own right is laid. “
Adolf Hitler
“By the skillful and sustained use of propaganda, one can make a people see even heaven as hell or an extremely wretched life as paradise. “
Adolf Hitler
We are in great danger!
Children also lack the ability to support themselves......
I guess in that way they are like these Eco-turds....
Children have a great ability to be MANIPULATED by unprincipled charlatans having evil intentions.
Oh, great. The new science based on anecdotal evidence will go nicely with the earlier methodology of altering data to fit a sacred hypothesis. Way to teach those kids, folks...
These are the same people who get their panties in a wad when a kid helps work his parents’ farm.
Knowing these UN types, maybe the kids are really being brought in to service the older perverted delegates.
Oh good grief. Hopenhagen?
This is a religion. Yeah, I know we’ve been saying it for years but now they got a Sunday school and religious camp.
I'm very serious.
HOPE-n-hagen.
Several little children with very nasally voices are chatterring away about Hopenhagen; but at the time that I heard these commercials, I had no idea that there was a children's conference scheduled.
I wonder if Pied Piper BHO is supposed to address the Little Hopefuls?
