Circumpolar Inuit to Global Leaders in Durban: Don’t Abandon Kyoto 

 Hi, I'm the one who asked if anyone else watching tonight's lecture was interested in working together to pressure the government to tackle climate change a little more effectively. To be honest I am not entirely up-to-date on the current climate change situation, but I am fairly knowledgable and experienced in protesting, letter campaigns, and petitions.
