Given the urgency of the climate question, namely the approach of a tipping point likely within 10-15 years, every effort to limit Green House gases has to be supported even those proposed by Bourgeois state formations however inadaquate at present. The ecosocialist movement on its own is unlikely to be able to muster the resources to implement its proposals in the above time frame. Better to formulate a simple set of demands for action and then use mass mobilisation to make sure the attendees get the message. A group of leading climate scientists are meeting before Copenhagen to do precisely that- to impress on the delegates the urgency of the situation. best regards Dave Dear Cy
