The climate ads hit you right as you walk off the plane. Corporations, NGOs, and even the Danish government are fighting hard to get their messages out to the 20,000 people registered to attend the conference. There's even a separate line at customs for COP-15 participants. This city is taking climate seriously. If anyone is getting climate depression--as Paul Hawken suggests, it's not hard if you're looking at the science--then I'd encourage you to check out youth climate bloggers over the next two weeks to hear about the exciting actions happening here in Copenhagen. Thousands of youth are converging on the city from all over the world to voice their concerns through clever demonstrations.
