From a post by Naomi Klein on The Nation:

A video interview by The Uptake, with African poet and activist Nnimmo Bassey about Obama on climate. Read Naomi Klein’s article about her discussion with Bassey here.




And tomorrow, African Parliamentarians and members of African Civil Society groups will be joined by representatives from US civil rights and environmental justice NGOs at a press conference in Copenhagen to make an urgent appeal to US President Barak Obama calling for leadership on the issue of climate justice. The Pan African Climate Justice Alliance, an alliance of civil society organizations in 43 countries across Africa will issue an urgent appeal to Obama as he prepares to receive the Nobel Peace Prize tonight in Norway. ChecktheWeather’s own Kari Fulton will be representing!
For those of you in Copenhagen:
WHERE:Asger Jorn, NGO Press Conference Room, Bella Center, Copenhagen, Denmark
