Climate Summit Participants in Copenhagen to be Confronted by Billboard Campaign


COPENHAGEN, Dec. 5 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --


          Bjorn Lomborg's Copenhagen Consensus Center Delivers Message

                about Need for Alternatives to Kyoto Approach


    This Monday, 7 December, the first day of the global climate summit

(COP15), director Bjorn Lomborg of the Copenhagen Consensus Center will

unveil two billboards in central Copenhagen designed to confront politicians

and delegates with the message that the current approach to solving global

warming is deeply flawed.


    The billboards state:


    TRYING TO CUT CO2 NOW ISN'T GOING TO WORK


    There are better ways to FixTheClimate.com


    Visitors to www.fixtheclimate.com will find the Center's proposal for a

practical, effective alternative to the Kyoto approach.


    Billboard locations:

    The first billboard is being erected at Hojbro Plads, directly opposite

the Danish parliament.


    The second billboard is being erected at Ostersogade 32, a busy downtown

Copenhagen street-corner.


    The billboards will be erected between 8 and 9 AM on Monday the 7th of

December.


    The billboards will be supplemented by video advertisements on the

Copenhagen metro (which delegates will use to reach COP15) and thousands of

free postcards in bars, cafes and other spots throughout Copenhagen.
