Two parallel lifes are being lived in the Bella Center: on the one hand, there are very formal sessions of the official delegations (if you'd like to have a look at a sessesion agenda with its astonishing amount of abbreviations and acronyms, visit http://unfccc.int/meetings/cop_15/conference_programme/daily_programme/items/5068.php). On the other hand, the NGOs from all over the world make this conference a very spontaneous and colourful place. And they know exactly how they can catch you. Two days ago I found myself looking for the 100th time at the map of the conference center, when a bunch of bluely dressed australian young folks suddenly dragged me along and taught we quickly a song and a dance. I thought a flashmob is possible places like Liverpool Station, but now there was one going on among the delegates and government representatives (some of them even joined). The lyrics were quite catchy and easy to learn. So the following lines were being sung in a pretty loud voice at the very core of the Bella Center:
"Buuuuuh, it's hot in here, there's too much carbon in the atmosphere, take action, take action, and get some satisfaction ... "
This short event with its clear message shouted at the very end clearly showed the direction the civil society wants the negatioations to go:
"NO MORE DELAY - CLIMATE JUSTICE NOW!"
