Lots of white folks have also blamed black and brown people for having too many babies, as if THAT'S what's driving climate change! #COP21

Oh, and it's called
#COP21 because this is the twenty-first time we're having climate negotiations. The other 20 didn't work out that well. -
Also, the
#COP21 can't be a binding agreement for the U.S. because the Senate won't ratify a treaty. So there's that. -

Some peoples are already seeing their entire small island states disappear because of rising sea levels due to climate change.
#COP21 -
Not to be confused with people who have been displaced due to more severe and frequent weather events, also due to climate change.
#COP21 -
A lot to think about here—Hurricane Katrina and internal displacement comes to mind, of course.

As the forum's chair explains, when it comes to climate change, "those who have the least bear most of the burden."http://bit.ly/1HEaj62

Oh, and even tho Paris is supposed to be about individual nation's contributions,
