I moderated a lively panel on global perspectives ahead of December’s Copenhagen climate conference. The session, held in Washington, included Jose Goldemberg of the University of Sao Paolo, Sun Guoshun of the Chinese embassy, and Atul Arya of BP, three very different characters with very different points of view. Audio is here. See also the feisty talk by Ed Markey, co-author of the Waxman-Markey bill, who connected tomorrow’s green revolution with yesterday’s telecoms revolution; if we’d let entrenched interests have their way, he said, you’d still be using a rotary-dial phone, and forget about the Blackberry in your pocket. Finally, check out the excellent panel session with Michael Levi, Frank Loy and Daniel Price, moderated by the Washington Post’s Juliet Eilperin.
