| VT Governor Peter Shumlin on Vermont Flooding From Hurricane Irene & Climate Change Policy | |
| Uploaded by democracynow on 29 Aug 2011 DemocracyNow.org - In Vermont, Tropical Storm Irene dropped heavy rains late on Sunday, causing flash floods, forcing hundreds of evacuations, and leaving some 40,000 to 50,000 people without power. It is becoming the state's worst natural disaster since the Great Flood of 1927. Democracy Now! speaks with Vermont Governor Peter Shumlin for an update from Vermont, where nearly every community is surrounded by hills and valleys, with little streams feeding into bigger rivers. "No one can predict exactly what communities are going to flood," says Shumlin. | |

| Bill McKibben: Will Hurricane Irene Be a Wake-Up Call About Climate Change? | |
| Uploaded by democracynow on 29 Aug 2011 DemocracyNow.org - Hurricane Irene received a massive amount media coverage, but television reports made little or no reference to the role global warming played in the storm. We speak with someone with his eye on climate change and its impact. "Not only have we had extraordinary flooding, but the same day of Hurricane Irene, Houston set its all time temperature record, 109 degrees," says Bill McKibben, co-founder and director of 350.org. McKibben is among hundreds of people arrested last week during ongoing sit-ins outside the White House, protesting the proposed Keystone XL pipeline that would carry tar sands oil from Alberta, Canada, to the Gulf of Mexico. On Friday, the U.S. State Department's final environmental review of the proposed pipeline found that the project will have "limited adverse environmental impacts." Protesters will begin their second week of sit-ins today, and continue to demand President Obama veto approval for the pipeline. | |

| Solomon Hsiang on the New Study that Finds Link Between Climate Change and Local Conflicts | |
| Uploaded by democracynow on 29 Aug 2011 DemocracyNow.org - A new study has found that that often war is associated with global climate change. According to the report, there are links between the climate phenomenon, El Niño, and outbreaks of violence in countries from southern Sudan to Indonesia and Peru. The scientists find that El Niño, which brings hot and dry conditions to tropical nations, doubles the risk of civil war in up to 90 countries, and may help account for a fifth of conflicts worldwide during the past 50 years. Democracy Now! speaks with the report's lead author, Solomon Hsiang, a postdoctoral researcher at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University. | |
