Warning: somewhat radical deviation from the normal programme follows.
If you’re like me and, apparently, the vast mast majority of the population, you know very little about what’s going on in Copenhagen at the moment. You know, all that stuff about treaties and climate change and carbon trading. All that stuff. That’s my technical term for the discussions going on at this very moment, and the deals attempting to be brokered.
I have just confessed to be ashamedly low on knowledge regarding COP15, not even knowing what the 15 in COP15 stands for. But am I alone in this limited understanding? I should beg that I’m not alone but, rather, I should pray that I am. That the rest of you out there are even just a little more educated than me, that you have faith in our leaders and what their intentions are in adding our names to this treaty, on our behalf. Supposedly for our good and for our future. And the future of our unborn children. This is what I’ve been led to believe anyway, and I’ve for the most part I’ve simply accepted it. As have most of us I assume. I mean, it doesn’t really affect us. Immediately anyway.
Because I have a frightfully low understanding of what’s going on, and an equally worrisome ability to just accept what I’m told (or not, as the case may be) I thought I would throw a few links at you. Discussions that I have only very recently paid attention to, though I have been aware of in my periphery for some time. Is it time to take the blinkers off?
If you know me at all you’ll know that I rarely, if ever, get involved in political discussions or debates. Either because I know what I believe and why, so I see no need for debate, or because I have no idea what I believe or why and don’t want to come off as ignorant, which I probably am. So it’s probably a BIG suprise that I am even blogging about this in the first place. It’s a big surprise to me. But you know what, I’ve been thinking all night that perhaps things aren’t as I think they are, or I’ve been led to believe. Or maybe they are. But if I’m as surprised by some of these ‘revelations’ and feel compelled to think about what I actually do know about climate change and the copenhagen treaty, then maybe I’m not alone. Maybe I am. Watch, and listen to, the following links and decide for yourself. Dismiss them as propaganda, or embrace them as the truth. Make up your own mind. It’s up to you.

Just to add that I’m not expressing a particular veiwpoint here. It’s simply something I feel compelled to look further into myself, and figured maybe I should be encouraging others to do likewise, whatever conclusion either one of us comes to in the end. Let’s just pray, at this 11th hour, that the right decisions are made.
