A shouting match has taken place at the COP15 talks on climate change in Copenhagen between the representatives of Tuvalu, an Island-state in the south Pacific that is about to be flooded, and the president of the COP15 meeting Connie Hedegaard.

  • Where's the shouting?? Do you know what "shouting" means?

  • @rlovec Waste reduction policies, a small incineration plant, and the the electronics and appliances (I saw children paddling in refrigerators) can be shipped to the mainland.

    It does involve adding a tiny percentage on the cost of purchase, and a 10 minute stroll to a garbage collection centre instead of chucking it in the nearest hole. There are only 4500 people on Funafuti, it's doable.

  • @gschjetne @gschjetne Majuro, capital of Marshalls, is the same way. But where do you put your garbage on an atoll? Certainly no room for a land fill. This is the main problem of pacific atoll nations - they are dependent on consumer capitalism but literally do not have the natural resources to even approximate participation.

    Climate change will kill Tuvalu!

  • haha no kidding

  • I've been to Funafuti. Have they cleaned up all their garbage yet?
