Funny quit coal editorial cartoon
This is about a blockade the Rainbow Warrior did the Philippines that got good support from even some politicians. Our ship parked alongside a coal shipment at a power plant's dock - preventing other shipments from coming in.
Being an island nation, the Philippines is especially vulnerable to climate change. They also produce 54 percent more electricity than they use, but have major power grid problems. We're saying fix those, and invest in things like efficiency and renewable energy.
FYI - That's Philippines president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo bouncing out of her chair. Hello President Arroyo! The world is shouting. Are you listening?

The President's name is not Maria, but Gloria. You should correct that.

Actually, according to Wikipedia it's Maria Gloria Macaraeg Macapagal-Arroyo. But I shortened it incorrectly.
Thanks for the tip. Corrected.
