Women making calls for climate action to Pres. Obama and Sec. of State Clinton, 9/21/09

Around 30 people turned out today in Union Square, in Manhattan, for one of the Avaaz.org/tcktcktck campaign's Global Climate Wake-up Call, meant to be one of several happening around the city to kick off Climate Week.

After holding up their phones to "ring the alarm," participants, like the three women above, set about calling President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton to ask that they support a strong international climate treaty.

Did you flash mob for climate action today? Tell us how it went.

It's confirmed. Americans are almost (but not quite) as good at irony as Australians. I especially liked the New York Times. It's a bit like a stunt "Chaser's War on Everything" would do here.

Be bold, boldness has greatness in it.

*Be bold* is a quote from Goethe. Must be politically correct.

And that should be NY Post, not Times. I don't read either of them so let me be forgiven. Good call, wake up call that is, even for the unhappy NYP. I hope they remember that it's not about being made to look like an @ss, it's about printing facts.

I'm almost as embarrassed by the microscopic size of the sign as I am by the next ladies choice of cranial apparel...and if I'm not mistaken, the young lady on the left side of the photograph is texting something vicious about the other two.

As a child Turk, maybe you missed out on Aesop's Fables, in particular "The Fox and The Grapes"
