Global Voices is one of the blogs invited to attend the United Nations High Level Event on Climate Change in New York, Monday September 24th.
I am honored to be representing GV at the conference, and will be attending the sessions.
- Thematic Plenary I - Adaptation - From Vulnerability to Resilience 10am - 1pm
- “Global Voices on climate Change” 1:15pm - 2:45pm - Hosted by Kenya, Indonesia, Poland and Denmark.
- Thematic Plenary Afternoon - Adaptation.
The rationale behind attending these particular sessions is that, earlier this year, the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released a report that mentioned that climate change will likely have a ‘graver effect' on Africa. I am hoping the session gives us some more information about adaptation initiatives that can help Africa deal with climate change.
The other sessions going on are listed here. Boing Boing will also be live blogging the event. The site ‘Live from the UN' will contain links to all the posts about the event and you can also watch the sessions online at the UN website.

Dear Editor, Sept. 23/07
Recent research by Henrik Svensmark and his group at the Danish National
Space Center points to the real cause of the recent warming trend. In a
series of experiments on the formation of clouds, these scientists have
shown that fluctuations in the Sun’s output cause the observed changes in the
Earth’s temperature.
In the past, scientists believed the fluctuations in the Sun’s output were
too small to cause the observed amount of temperature change, hence the need
to look for other causes like carbon dioxide. However, these new
experiments show that fluctuations in the Sun’s output are in fact large
enough, so there is no longer a need to resort to carbon dioxide as the
cause of the recent warming trend.
The discovery of the real cause of the recent increase in the Earth’s
temperature is indeed a convenient truth. It means humans are not to blame
for the increase. It also means there is absolutely nothing we can, much
less do, to correct the situation.
