In which I get a pink badge! – elizabethmaymp.ca – November 19, 2013
I started out early, memories of the appalling arrangements in Copenhagen left me not wanting to take any chances in a cold city. In Copenhagen at COP15, we had to line up and wait outside for hours (day after day) in the bitter cold. Just to be on the safe side, I got to the huge stadium in Warsaw, converted to a convention centre for COP19, at 7 am and only had to wait outside for a half an hour before security guards decided we should be allowed to wait inside where it was warm.

As previously arranged through email messages, I met with the Deputy Minister of the National Environmental Agency of Afghanistan and head of his country’s delegation, Ghulam Mohd Malikyar. He took me back to registration to request I be listed as a member of his delegation.
...
Today, I also pinned on one of the small red fabric circles worn by delegates to identify as fasting in solidarity with the head of the Philippines delegation.
...
As for me, between jet lag and fasting, and trying to concentrate and do my work, it’s been a long day.

it is interesting how she kept mentioning the cold
Lizzy could fast for a month and it possibly would be noticeable.. She's the leader of a one person party and a national joke.. apparently her job in the Canadian Parliament is to make cow eyes at the leader of the liberals, another politician, almost as empty headed as her... incidentally, Lizzy is famous in Canada for proclaiming that Glow Bull warming causes AIDS.. on national television..
