Eugene Mirman Reports from Trash Can in Copenhagen

Get your news from a source that’s not owned and controlled by oligarchs. Sign up for the free Mother Jones Daily.


Comedian Eugene Mirman is Grist’s special correspondent in Copenhagen. And by “special,” we mean “e-special-ly” hilarious. Eugene hits the ground running in the Danish city hosting the U.N. climate conference, chatting up birds, babies, buddies, and Bangladeshis on all manner of climate concerns. This is the first of many Mirman reports from Copenhagen, so stay tuned.

This video was produced by Grist as part of the Copenhagen News Collaborative, a cooperative project of several independent news organizations. Check out the constantly updated feed here. Mother Jones’ comprehensive Copenhagen coverage is here, and our special climate change package is here.

“Lying.” “Disgusting.” “Scum.” “Slime.” “Corrupt.” “Enemy of the people.” Donald Trump has always made clear what he thinks of journalists. And it’s plain now that his administration intends to do everything it can to stop journalists from reporting things they don’t like—which is most things that are true.

No one gets to tell Mother Jones what to publish or not publish, because no one owns our fiercely independent newsroom. But that also means we need to directly raise the resources it takes to keep our journalism alive. There’s only one way for that to happen, and it’s readers like you stepping up. Please help with a donation today if you can—even a few bucks will make a real difference. A monthly gift would be incredible.
