Video: Eugene Mirman Reporting on Copenhagen Climate Change Summit

Brooklyn comic Eugene Mirman is spending the week in Copenhagen, covering the protests coinciding with the UN Climate Change Conference for Grist. He reports that over the weekend, "somewhere between 50,000 - 100,000 protesters marched without incident, even when I teased them." Our favorite part of this video is probably when he chats with an elderly protester who says he's visited NYC, and Mirman asks, "Oh, have you ever been to Lit? It's like a crazy, late-night bar. Actually, it's not worth it." Keep speaking truth to power, Eugene!

Polar ice may vanish in 5-7 years--AP headline

TITANIC ASSURANCE

On Wall Street and in Greenwich

The plutocrat reads and thinks

All's well in this blessed world

As long as there's ice for his drinks.

Wow, the AP actually printed that headline? Because it was something Al Gore said at Copenhagen which today was debunked by the scientist Gore credited with doing the research.
