The beginning of COP 21, the UN Conference on Climate Change, is three weeks away. So what else is happening, you ask?

1) The Campaign Against Climate Change‘s Time to Act! campaign, 350.org, Reclaim Power, and various other formations are preparing actions around the world on the eve of the summit (November 28-29) and a huge demonstration in Paris on its last day, December 12.

2) The Laboratory of Insurrectionary Imagination, which had been responsible for some creative disruptions at the Copenhagen climate summit and whose previous involvements include instigating the Reclaim the Streets movement, have announced the creation of The Climate Games, a video game styled “Disobedient Action Adventure Game” to take place in the streets of Paris and around the world during the final days of the summit.

3) Adbusters, which had initiated the call that led to the Occupy Wall Street protests, have called for a Billion People March to take to the streets of the planet on December 19, a week after the conclusion of the conference.

And there are various other things in motion, like this and this and this and this and this.

And yet… As of today, a Google search for the two terms associated with #’s 2 and 3 above — “billion people march” AND “climate games” — results in only a single page. (Has anyone ever searched for something that only resulted in… a single page??) What gives?

Is it just that Adbusters, and perhaps to some extent The Climate Games, are just johnny-come-latelies to the Paris climate scene? Somehow I don’t see a billion people marching without more communication about it…
