Facing up to tough questions on climate change? Hopefully today on CNN!
I hadn't caught this either, so I'm glad Shannon Patrick found this just in time - at least to watch and see if someone else has asked a question burning in your mind even if you didn't get to ask it yourself. Something to look for this evening on CNN.
This is very interesting and I'm sorry that I came across it so late. Youtube and CNN have joined forces to let everybody's voice be heard, or at least have a chance. People were asked to submit questions for world leaders regarding climate change to a specific Copenhagen Summit YouTube page that is run by CNN. The news organization is going to take the most compelling questions and present them to world leaders at the conference. This conference will be broadcast live on CNN and streamed live on YouTube. If you followed the presedential election last fall you may have seen the YouTube debates done by CNN then. I, for one, enjoyed those debates very much, so I hope this is just as well done. While this may not get immediate action, from my experience watching the YouTube debates, the questions are commonly the tough questions that reporters don't seem to ask, but that the public wants to know. These questions definitely give a feeling of relief of frustration, in the form of "Finally, somebody asked it!". It's live on December 15th at 5 a.m. PST, but I'm sure they will replay it throughout the day, and of course YouTube will have it full length for watching on-demand.
