Good speech. Don't know if much would come out of Copenhagen, though. However, I think the fight will continue. This new executive director of Greenpeace, Kumi Naidoo, is from South Africa (of Indian ancestry), and is somewhat of an outsider. Just read an article about him. Let's see if the momentum picks up.
