Australia rules

Maybe it was just the sessions I was in, but Australia seemed in the ascendant at the World Business Summit on Climate Change, with Tim Flannery as Chairman and Cate Blanchett dropping into the session he and I did on forestry today – and then giving the final plenary speech.  A moving end, especially when she spoke of fellow Australians cooked in their cars when the flame front swept through towns in the recent fires.  Last night, a wonderful dinner with Novo Nordisk and Al Gore, where both he and Lise Kingo of Novo Nordisk gave special mention to the work we have done over the years.  Wonderful to see Mads Øvlisen, who first brought us into Novo at the every end of 1988 or early in 1989.
