An environmental activists displays a banner that reads: "Climate Action Now!"
I felt my heart beating faster than usual as I clapped along to 2 sheer minutes of booming beats that reminded of the loud noise that led to the crumbling of the walls of Jericho in the Biblical narrative. This morning we along with other groups and individuals sounded the alarm for climate action as part of the activities that are a part of the December 12 Global Day of Action on Climate Change.
December 12th 2009 activists, and concerned citizens of the world held global actions to highlight the urgency of climate action at the time of the United Nations Talks on climate change (COP15/MOP5) in Copenhagen, Denmark.

John beat me to the punch in blogging about the Tcktcktck petition delivery event earlier today, but I still wanted to share these pics. They’re of our executive director, Kumi Naidoo, with legendary activist and 2004 Nobel Peace Laureate Wangari Maathai, plus several youth delegates. They came together to drive home the message that there are more than 10 million people calling for climate action.

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the countdown timer for the Copenhagen Summit in my computer screen zeroes flickered. This is it… Today the world holds its breath as world leaders arrive in Copenhagen, Denmark to decide what the global fight against climate change will look like.

Is causing climate change a crime?
Is submerging entire nations in sea water a crime? Flooding entire cities? Causing death, destruction and disease???!!???
Whoa! Did anyone actually do those things? (Yes.)
Or maybe the question is: has anyone actually let those things happen? (Yes.) Do we know who they are? (Yes.) Do they know what they’ve done? (Yes.) And are they still letting those things happen? (Yes). Knowingly? (Yes.) Willfully? (Hmmm….)

Some 70 bikers from the Makati City LGU and from the Global Campaign for Climate Action (GCCA)-member organizations before the 90 Days To Copenhagen Bike Tour.
We all have the tendency to do countdowns.
I remember when I was younger that I used to countdown the days of the week as it passes down towards the weekends. I’m pretty sure that I am not alone with this habit when I was a kid as I remember having classmates who did the same thing back then. But that doesn’t stop there, I counted down many things – the days remaining before my next birthday, before I finish 3rd grade, before I graduate from high school, the number of days before Christmas, the list just goes on and on.
Perhaps it is because a lot of us like the adrenalin rush, of cramming things to meet a given deadline. Perhaps it’s because we’re all deep down complacent and we need to be reminded that there are things that we need to take action on NOW, because tomorrow may be too late.
