I noticed something that needs a correction in the small excerpt of Glover’s comments which I indicated in bold text below:

The threat of what happened to Haiti is the threat that could happen anywhere in the Caribbean, to these island nations. You know, they’re all in peril because of global warming, they’re all in peril because of climate change and all this. And we need to find … when we did what we did at the climate summit, in Copenhagen, this is the response, this is what happens, you know what I’m sayin’? That we have to act now.

It’s easily obvious what Mr. Glover is trying to communicate. He is speaking about the international response to world natural disasters as a model for the world response to predicted disasters caused by climate change. Glover presents a list of disasters when he says “climate change and all this” — by saying all this he means to include the earthquake in Haiti and others around the globe.

He is applauding COP15 (for its potential to respond collectively to the threat of AGW) but also states that we “need to do more” while at the same time appreciating the global response to the earthquake in Haiti. In the end, Glover is seeing the Haiti earthquake and the subsequent world response (“to act now”) as a model for responding to AGW (“to act now”).
