I imagine things will be rather bigger here in London. We are expecting at least 50 000 (although I think it might be a few more) on the march from the US embassy. Its been an interesting week here - the Stern Report has been front page news all week, the Independent went as far as devoting a whole issue to it. I actually went to the press conference and Stern himself seemed an interesting bloke, although you can't help but feel that the estimates he made were deliberately conservative - and the foreign secretary glowered at him when it was suggested something might actually happen in Nairobi.
Anyone interested should check out the blogs on openDemocracy (www.opendemocracy.net) over the coming weeks - i'll probably blog the march in London on Monday UK time. Whilst we have a man in Nairobi blogging later, inbetween waking the world up to contraction and convergence. Also check out www.chinadialogue.net for a bilingual perspective on things - including a bloody interesting interview with Deputy Director of SEPA (in China) Pan Yue on Socialist Ecological Civilisation.
