Maldives President praised by prominent environmental [fraud promoter]
McKibben is currently in the Maldives publicizing a “global day of activism” to pressure parties to the United Nations climate change conference scheduled for October in Copenhagen, Denmark. His ambition is that the governments of the world mutually commit to cutting carbon emissions to 350 carbon dioxide particles per one million particles in the atmosphere, the crucial threshold for maintaining the integrity of polar icecaps.

The conference “is our last, or one of our last, chances to get this right”, McKibben told Minivan News. “Copenhagen will be, in some ways, I think, the most important negotiations humans have ever undertaken… If we screw this one up the effects will be felt for geological time”.

The President was also honoured in a recent visit to London, where he was presented with a t-shirt by the producers of the film “The Age of Stupid”, at whose “Peoples’ Premiere” he announced, via streaming video, the Maldives’ ambition to become carbon-neutral by 2020. The film’s makers presented the Maldives with a “Not Stupid” certificate and the President with a t-shirt emblazoned with the same moniker.

[Bill McKibben] My role at the moment is a sort of “roaming evangelist” all over the world. I just came from Turkey, I’m on my way to India, I’ll be in Saudi Arabia and Qatar and Jordan this time next week, and so on and so forth.
