World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) organised the event Saturday at the entrance to the Bali International Convention Centre where over 10,000 delegates from 187 countries are attending the Dec 3-14 UN climate change conference.

Two men in martial art costumes twirled and mimicked combat to the beat of drums. At the end of every dance, they burst two of the balloons. By the end, there was no carbon dioxide – the main greenhouse gas whose increase in the atmosphere is causing climate disaster – at least symbolically.
