Vale. Okay. Bueno. Alright. THIS trip is not a trip like my others, where I learned a lot about their style of drinking or preferences for nightlife... going to Copenhagen (and getting accredited access to the Bella Center) wasn't something I could decide to do, although I certainly would if I could. I was FINALLY accepted to go and observe the upcoming Copenhagen Convention, where negotiations will take place to finalize the follow-up protocol to the
Kyoto Protocol. I am more than thrilled to be going and have been doing nothing but reading up on the preceding meetings and news... so that if I get the unlikely GLIMPSE of a chance to speak with one of the world leaders, I won't embarrass my colleagues and will maintain composure whilst divulging my opinion on what percentages of CO2 emissions (gas invernadero, en espaƱol: since I've been multitasking my assignments and writing all of my spanish noticias about the Copenhagen Negotiations) are appropriate to cut for developing countries, and those for developed nations.
Shout out to my superwoman friend Ali Tutino who is on the other side of the world in Los Angeles, California protesting to ensure that Obama will appropriately represent the United States in the fight to stop Global Warming. I'll be the first to let you know how it goes, Al. I'll text you from the conference. bahaha.
Here's Ali doing her cool job and the link below is info you should know about why it's 65 degrees in New York in November. GLOBAL WARMING IS NOT A JOKE. lol, but seriously.
