In September 2009 I was lucky enough to be part of the team on a project called Worldwide View on Global Warming (or WWViews for short).
It was initiated by the Danish Government to give citizens a voice in the crucial climate talks in Copenhagen, December 2009. Working on a model of 'deliberative democracy', 100 randomly-selected people heard the facts then talked amongst themselves, and voted on pre-set questions. On the day, the same thing happened around the world in 35 other countries.
