Today is the last day of the COP and we're all pretty nervous. The negotiations happen in offices outside of the public eye as the ministers hash out the final documents that will be released and determine how this COP will be defined. We don't know what will happen but so far there isn't one big positive element that ties everything together. It's likely that the negotiaitions will go all night. So hopefully the papers in a few days will be full of headlines showing success. Maybe a strong commitment to make sure that there is no gap after the 2012 end date of the Kyoto protocol, before the next binding treaty.

We had a pretty rockin side event the other day. We made a big board and filled it up with the flags of all the UN nations here. Since the ministers are here, we tried to get them to move their flags from the area marked äbove 5 degrees of warming to the area maked below 2 degrees. Many did it! Those that didn't, used our display as a positive backdrop for their press interviews.
