Bolivia's Morales plans alternative climate conference http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1263745961
Bolivian President Evo Morales said Tuesday he's inviting activists, scientists and government officials from around the world to an alternative climate conference following the failure of a summit in Copenhagen to produce binding agreements.
The leftist leader said the April 20-22 meeting in Cochabamba will include indigenous peoples, social movements, environmentalists and scientists as well as governments "who want to work with their people."
Morales said the meeting is meant partly to pressure industrialized nations to accept that they have a "climate debt" to poor countries and will work toward an international court on environmental crimes.
Other topics will include a "universal proposal for the rights of mother earth" and the transfer of technology.

What if mother earth was a hermaphrodite?

Between Brazil sticking with their massive carbon cuts, Ecuador adopting their new constitution in 2008, and this... I'd say South America is the locus of the essential, world-wide effort to give the planet back to itself — er, HERself.
