Backlash coming next?
Some weeks ago, in a meeting with AF collagues from Estonia, Lithuania and Letvia I asked how big impact the COP15 meeting had in their local media and among peoples awareness. Almost none was the anwser.
Of course the Copenhagen meeting (or Hopehagen as Anders said) is a major Swedish "thing" since we have the presidency but still, isn´t it interesting/worrying that it´s either al or nothing. ´Cause maybe our extrem focus isn´t really "healty"? And I know this is like cursing in church but - the scrutinizing (Is that the word for it? Is that the spelling ?), the way "we" turn the climate inside out may, M A Y, leave us thinking quite "demarcated" as if the climate discussions and the maybe/maybe not politic desicions in Copenhagen is the ONLY thing that matters.
I think there´s quite a risk that the backlash can be deep. No matter how cruisal the global heating is, it is still TO abstract. What do you think? Where is the wider debate about sustainability?
