GETTING PERSONAL: Philanthropists Warily Watching Copenhagen - WSJ.com: "Philanthropists attending the conference include Jet Li, martial artist, actor and founder of the One Foundation; Al Gore, former U.S. vice president and founder of the Climate Project; and financier George Soros, who recently announced plans to invest more than $1 billion in green technology and pledged $100 million to start the Climate Policy Initiative.
Philanthropists stress that, for their actions to be effective, more money needs to be aimed at slowing climate change. Donors directed only $6.58 billion, or 2% of overall giving in the U.S., to environmental causes in 2008, according to Giving USA."
