Justice cannot wait for a deal to stop global warming at the Copenhagen climate conference, Archbishop Desmond Tutu has said.
The Nobel Laureate joined an international climate hearing organised by Oxfam that allowed 1.5 million witnesses to the damage caused by climate change around the world to make their case for action.
Witnesses included farmers in Uganda going hungry because of drought and families from Bangladesh affected by floods.
Archbishop Tutu said he has seen for himself the effects of climate change in his home country of South Africa.
I too, stand before you as a witness. I have seen with my own eyes the changes in my homeland, South Africa. The Southern Cape is currently experiencing the worst drought anyone can remember. There is not enough food. There is too little water. The situation is becoming increasingly desperate, he said.
Mary Robinson, former UN Commissioner for Human Rights, said climate change was undermining human rights on an unprecedented scale.

Don't send food, don't send water, just send money, and lots of it!
Farmers in Uganda never experienced drought before? Bangaladesh has always been a thriving, well-fed land? The only “justice” these poor people can find is the extortion of money from America?
Bunk!
You’re right. They’re pulling out all the stops. Because this is the lever the marxists intend to use to move the world.
This guy is back?

Move to the FOOOOOODDD!! You live in a DESERT, MOVE to the FOOD!!” ... per Sam Kinison
When and why did we start giving these low IQ idiots a stage?
I’m still trying to figure out his claim to fame
What? You thought he was replaced by Bishop Desmond Threethree?
You want to help world hunger? Stop sending them food. Don’t send them another bite, send them U-Hauls.
Send them a guy that says, “You know, we’ve been coming here giving you food for about 35 years now and we were driving through the desert, and we realized there wouldn’t BE world hunger if you people would live where the FOOD IS! YOU LIVE IN A DESERT!! UNDERSTAND THAT? YOU LIVE IN A F__KING DESERT!! NOTHING GROWS HERE! NOTHING’S GONNA GROW HERE! Come here, you see this? This is sand. You know what it’s gonna be 100 years from now? IT’S GONNA BE SAND!! YOU LIVE IN A F__KING DESERT!
We have deserts in America, we just don’t live in them, “
A Quote from a wise man named Sam.
Lol....after confiscating productive farmland and turning it over to the peasants that can’t farm at all....it’s Gore-bull Smarming that gets the blame.
He's black.
He's from South Africa.
He lived through apartheid.
Ergo: He's a fricking saint and everyone in the world should send him all their money and hang on his every word as divine and go to see the movie Invictus at least a dozen times.

Yes, by all means. Who can be against “justice” ? - “Social Justice”. The good and humble man of God, Bishop Tutu wants to level the world playing field with American treasure

Desmond Tutu, Nobel peace prize recipient. Along with Barack Obama, Jimmy Carter, Yassar Arafat, iGore, Kofi Anan, Nelson Mandela, Mohamed ElBaradei, and Mikhail Gorbachev.
This is an important man. We have to listen to him.
He is also a liar.
Capetown is experiencing weather that is spot on the long term averages.
It is ALWAYS dry in winter in the Cape.
Just as they ALWAYS have UNPRECEDENTED floods in Bangladesh in June.
Fixed...
Certainly. Inflation, dontchaknow...
