USA trying to wreck climate talks

This from Avaaz:

Running into their 24th hour of overtime, the vital Durban climate summit remains deadlocked because the USA is blocking any meaningful progress. It’s up to us to turn it around at the last moment.

The US is wrecking the talks and trying to shape the headlines to place the blame on others -- it’s a monumental failure of leadership, morality and responsibility, and in these final hours we’re not going to take it anymore. Europe can stand with Africa and small islands to drive forward a deal, but they are tired from weeks of non-stop negotiations and need to hear from us.

EU Climate Commissioner and delegation head, Connie Hedegaard, and her EU team are busy trying to make progress, running from one meeting to the next and only short, tiny messages of support can get through. Let’s send a flood of messages on Twitter supporting Hedegaard for her leadership so far and calling on her to keep fighting. Negotiators are in talks right now, checking messages on their phones and searching for a path forward -- this is our best chance to reach them now.

If you have a twitter account, tweet how you feel about this - but make sure to include @CHedegaardEU! Personal messages are more powerful, but to save time you can also copy this text and tweet it -- Twitter: @CHedegaardEU: Support Africa and keep standing up to the US at #COP17! We need EU leadership now more than ever @Avaaz

We know this can work -- it did at the Bali Summit 4 years ago -- where newspapers ads, Avaaz campaigns, heavy lobbying and strong criticism all persuaded George W. Bush to back down from blocking talks. President Obama certainly doesn’t want to be cast in the same light and with the EU and a strong alliance of countries pushing back, the US could easily move out of the way and allow the world to move forward.

I don't have a twitter account, so could you folks spread this message? The more people who know of the USA politicians' dastardly actions the better we can hope to embarrass them into doing the right thing. And the European Union folks need to be reassured that we are watching and standing behind them.
