And you wonder what kind of "investment" they are worried about him scaring away... maybe this is just old world thinking pushing back on forward looking leadership. If they are really serious about that 2020 goal, then there is going to be a lot of new investment - retrofitting buildings, energy efficiency technologies, renewable energy, etc., etc... Exactly.

This is very inspiring to us in addsmore - an initiative that is trying to get brands involved in climate change messages. We will be also holding a manifestation in Paris on the 24th - asking people to write on themselves climate messages and sending this to 350 - as well as posting them on our facebook group (facebook.com/addsmore). We believe that not only governments should be pushed to take action , but brands too. I really admire the boldness of Pr Nasheed’s action.

And for those that think it is Nasheed that is "scaring off investment money" - then if it weren't for Nasheed investors might come flocking to plunk down their capital on an island that is rapidly sinking due to climate change? Between the two Nasheed is the damper?Nice post.
