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.”

Why doesn’t he wear a flaming gas-filled tire around his neck while he’s at it?
After all, that’s what he did to all the folks that ACTUALLY KNEW HOW TO FARM DESERT LAND over there.
(And killed them.)
And now there’s no food?
Ya think?
AGW had nothing to do with it. The U.S. has been feeding, clothing, trying to fix Africa for nigh on to 50 years. It is because the people there are hell-bent on self-destruction. They learn nothing from nations that teach them self-reliance.

Perhaps it is because you have run your country into the dirt? Hmmm? Look at what is happening in the streets of Cape Town and Pretoria. Your countrymen are animals. They are unwilling to plan for the future. Build reservoirs, irrigation canals, infrastructure.
Desmond Tutu - the racist bastard who called for killing white babies in South Africa.
Guess he graduated with the “Reverend” Wright.
Sam's logic remains unassailable.
As does this missive from that musical sage, Warren:
"Send lawyers, guns, and money...the $hit has hit the fan."
> Desmond Tutu, Nobel peace prize recipient. Along with Barack Obama, Jimmy Carter, Yassar Arafat, iGore, Kofi Anan, Nelson Mandela, Mohamed ElBaradei, and Mikhail Gorbachev.
Ergo, one of the Greatest Unhanged Villains, Scoundrels and Rogues of all time. That in itself is quite an accomplishment, when you think about the other villains, scoundrels, and rogues who might have qualified but didn’t.
Hitler, for example, wasn’t evil enough to get a Nobel Peace Prize. Stalin neither. Jane Fonda neither, but she’s still working on it.
LOL! Even funnier given what comes out of a Coke when you open it. Fraudenhagen is one helluva comedy of total morons all around.
Tutu is head of a religious group of about 100,000 people. Some Archbishop. There are individual churches in South Korea (Methodist and other Christian) that are way bigger.
Don’t send food. Don’t send water. Send them U-Hauls. They live in the f’in desert.
“Cilmate Justice”? Sorry, but the weather isn’t fair. Shovel my sidewalk in February.
A glimpse of the real agenda!
And now every drought, flood, and mildly cool or warm season is the fault of the wealthy, and thus they must be punished. Same song, different century. Let’s have another nice war/revolt/killing field over it. Apparently, we haven’t had enough of those, yet.
This is typical of the wizened little fraud!
Of course, he doesn’t care for natural justice, which would see him tried and convicted of complicity in mass murder, so he calls for “social justice”, the shoddy intellectual clothing of totalitarianism.
Let me guess. His idea of 'justice' involves the evil white man and money??
Plants thrive on carbon dioxide. Shouldn't we be happy about all the extra CO2 in the air? It will make more plants grow and feed more people.
Anyway, how did all that "excess carbon" from "industrialized countries" make it all the way to South Africa? My guess is that they get more CO2 from the burning equatorial rain forest on their own continent than they do from "industry" in North America, thousands of miles away.
"It's the culture, stupid." Sub-Saharan Africa doesn't sport one single nation that could be thought of as a sucessful and stable state. Those who have stability have life expectancies of under 40. Those who have longer life spans live them under chaotic governance.
Back in the 1970’s, South Africa was a relatively industrialized country, the ONLY ONE in Africa. Today, it’s a hell-hole. And it wasn’t the weather climate that changed, it was the political climate.
