How the Yes Men saved Copenhagen! Funny speech by Andy Bichlbaum, professor and professional hoaxster, who befuddled Canada and the world at Copenhagen, announcing an end to the Tar Sands. Also how they pushed the U.S. Chamber of Commerce into climate change.
Recorded by Alex Smith of Radio Ecoshock at the annual dinner for the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives.

We switch to media activism as demonstrated by "The Yes Men". I recorded a speech by Andy Bichlbaum (university professor and professional hoaxman) at the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives in Vancouver. It includes multi-media clips from "The Yes Men Fix The World" DVD.
More ideas on how activists (that you!) can use the media to get out the right message... finally. Have fun, and save the world at the same time.
Can be run as a separate half hour program. Or part two of the one hour Radio Ecoshock Show for 100604
