Various stuff about The Hague Kyoto Protocol CoP6 meeting.

http://www.climatevoice.org/ ,
 the excellent online activist website where you can "speak out together
for a cleaner, safer future" was hoping for 10 million messages by the time
the summit starts. Their counter is currently only at 4.7 million however
it is going up by 100 thousand a day. The website lacks any news of the
summit though - it directs people to the WWF climate summit pages, (and the
FoE and Greenpeace climate change sections).

Some excellent multimedia material along with the text news and analysis.
There is a "must listen to" BBC radio interview with UK Environment
Minister, Michael Meacher which is a blistering attack on the Americans who
have 3% of the worlds population but produce 25% of the world emissions.
"We can ratify without the US." Can't recommend it highly enough. The video
material is also interesting if you have a fast connection. There is a
half-hour doco about the climate change issue for example. It seems as
though the Brits, currently underwater of course, will push very strongly
for ratification.

cheers
