Not Waiting for Copenhagen: Sub-National Leaders Forge Ahead with Climate [Swindle] Action

Schwarzenegger, whose own state has been a trailblazer in progressive environmental and climate policies in the United States, echoed Charest's pledge to lead. He added his own Hollywood-infused spin — the movie Saturday Night Fever did more to increase the number of discotheques than any national program could have done — basically telling national governments that anything you can do, we can do better.

Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change, was optimistic about the momentum leading into the Copenhagen summit, but he also warned that Copenhagen would not be the end of the road and said he expected the fifth IPCC assessment, due in 2013, to jolt the world into even more action.

“We must accept that this battle is not a one-day affair," he said. "We must change our value systems.”

Following journalist Thomas Friedman's discussion of the nine Americas in the world today — the units of 300 million people living and consuming like Americans — Pachuari suggested that perhaps Americans should also become a little “less American” in their consumption patterns.

NEW DELHI: A colleague of Dr Rajendra Kumar Pachauri in the IPCC remembers travelling with him through Heathrow airport, London. "The airport employees and the airline staff all recognised and wished him as he walked through the busy airport. It was crazy."

Not that the cabin crew or the airport authorities knew much about climate change and IPCC, but it's hard to forget a man who has probably spent more time in the air than he has in Delhi, his base, since he became IPCC chief. Pachauri himself often jokes that he "lives at 30,000 feet".
