Are you listening to Democracy Now’s coverage of the COP 17 meetings in Durban, South Africa?
Amazing interviews with climate scientists, activists, and others happening while Amy Goodman and Democracy Now are on the ground at the United Nations Climate Change Conference happening all week (28 November – 9 December 2011). The U.S. based radio program has so far produced some excellent reports about current state of the climate and the possibilities for an international response to dealing with the global crisis.
The conference buzz is that nations will start limiting carbon emissions in 2020, but most experts agree that this is too late.
From Tuesday’s interview with Indian writer and analyst Praful Bidwai, author of the new book, “The Politics of Climate Change and the Global Crisis: Mortgaging Our Future”: “We cannot forget historical responsibility. Three-fourths of all the greenhouse gases that have accumulated in the atmosphere, and will stay there warming us up for thousands of years, come from developed countries of the Global North, led by the United States, which is responsible for more than one-quarter of all emissions accumulated in the atmosphere.”
