Remove the Politicians. Add farmers and fisher-folk.

The United Nations Climate Change Conference is under way in Cancun, Mexico.

Many of the world's leaders are absent from the event.  It is has yet to be covered by many mainstream news agencies.

This is depressing.  I can think of few issues greater than the fate of our shared planet.

Here's an idea: Kick the politicians and lobby groups out of Cancun and let the farmers and fisher-folk make the decisions.

The science is straight forward.  The solutions are do-able and affordable.  I trust that the farmers and fisher-folk - who are at the forefront of climate change - would do a far better job than the politicians.
