Dear Mr Key
I am really excited and impressed at your decision to attend the Copenhagen talks this month, so thank you, that you have had the guts and leadership to do this.
I have been keeping up to date with news on the talks, almost somewhat obsessively. I know it seems as though at this stage, a binding agreement will not happen this year, but I would tentatively suggest that an agreement of this kind is inevitable, even if we have to wait a couple of years. The threats to many developing / island nations is too great for them to go down without a fight.
NZ has a lot at stake here, and indeed would have a lot to gain if we take a strong stance. Our country’s ‘clean and green’ image is rapidly becoming a lie. Our current offers and commitments are really not good enough and do not meet the recommedations from the worlds leading scientists.
This is an incredibly important time for the world, and i can promise you this generation will remember you for the leadership you take on this issue. My thoughts and prayers are with you in these next few days
Yours sincerely,
Chrissy Hamill
