Who Really Pays for Copenhagen

Fight disinformation: Sign up for the free Mother Jones Daily newsletter and follow the news that matters.


It’s been a long week at Copenhagen, resulting in a non-binding resolution with parameters which Obama says “will not be by themselves sufficient to get to where we need to get by 2050.” 2050 sounds like a long way off: a baby born today would be 41 then. But if we don’t get emissions on track, fast, it’ll be today’s babies and kids who’ll have to do it twice as quickly in 2050. You can see the faces of our future climate negotiators here, in a gallery of pictures our readers uploaded to our climate cover module.

 

Fact:

Mother Jones was founded as a nonprofit in 1976 because we knew corporations and billionaires wouldn't fund the type of hard-hitting journalism we set out to do.

Today, reader support makes up about two-thirds of our budget, allows us to dig deep on stories that matter, and lets us keep our reporting free for everyone. If you value what you get from Mother Jones, please join us with a tax-deductible donation today so we can keep on doing the type of journalism 2024 demands.
