Hush little baby, don’t you cry, Papa’s gonna buy you a …nuclear plant

[ Posted 28.04.2008 13:19 in Galina Raguzina's blog by Galina Raguzina ]
It just so happened the other night that I had a dream – and I remembered it.

It was when the World Trade Organization (WTO) held its last ministerial conference in Hong Kong. But those are about the only apparent commonalities between the two summits.

Among scooters and SUVs in Bali

[ Posted 07.12.2007 17:32 in Eivind Hoff's blog by Eivind Hoff ]
As my muscles tense by my taxi’s slalom-driving on busy Bali roads on the way to my first UNFCCC climate summit, I am struck by the odd mix of vehicles on the road. Actually, I would go as far as saying that this mix epitomises the international climate debate between rich and poor.
