Copenhagen: Not fair, not ambitious and not legally binding.

COP 15 legs

Not done yet

World leaders have walked away from the global summit in Copenhagen without a treaty to save the climate. They still have a chance to get it right and we will not let them fail. The future of 6.5 billion people is at stake – and you’re one of them.

They're not done yet, and neither are we.

Act now to change the future.

We need your help now to spread the truth about the climate summit and change the future.

Change your Facebook status, twitter, text your friends - tell as many people as you can that the "job is not done yet".

If the world knows that leaders have not finished the job, there is still time to get treaty that is fair, ambitious and legally binding. 

The leaders left the climate summit without agreeing to the cuts in greenhouse gas emissions that science demands. That means we could see average global temperature rises about 2 degrees Centigrade and the worst impacts of climate change. They're putting our future at risk.

Late last night the representative from Tuvalu told the plenary session that the current draft text is completely unexceptable for them - "We are being offered 30 pieces of silver to betray our children. Our future is not for sale."

We cannot let political leaders foresake the future of the planet to the whims of corporate profits.

Please help us spread the truth about the outcome of the summit in Copenhagen. Leaders will be trying to spin this as a success - together we can make sure that doesn't happen and force them to  finish the job they started.

Change your Facebook status, twitter that the "job is not done yet".

Together we can change the future.
