| Tracking Global Warming's Devastating Impact Across the African Continent - with The Guardian's John Vidal | |
| Uploaded by democracynow on Dec 5, 2011 DemocracyNow.org - For more on the impact of climate change on the African continent and an update on the U.N. Climate Change Conference COP 17 talks, we're joined in Durban by John Vidal, environment editor for The Guardian. Vidal has just returned from a journey between Africa's two most industrialized countries — Egypt and South Africa. His route included one of Africa's poorest nations, Malawi — its newest, Southern Sudan — and its hungriest, Ethiopia. He visited some of the continent's most remote tribes in Uganda and Kenya, and coastal areas here in South Africa. For all of these countries, the stakes of what comes out of COP 17 are high. "It was a terrifying journey of reality," says Vidal. "Very little science has been done, but there is absolutely no doubt about the consequences — which are going to be very much hotter temperatures, making it almost impossible to live in many areas, huge effects on the poor people." | |

| Thousands March at U.N. Climate Summit in Durban to Demand Climate Justice | |
| Uploaded by democracynow on Dec 5, 2011 DemocracyNow.org - We are broadcasting live from Durban, South Africa, where critical talks on fighting climate change have entered their second week. Key issues here at the United Nations Climate Change Conference COP 17 remain unresolved, including the future of the Kyoto Protocol -- the international treaty with enforceable provisions designed to limit greenhouse-gas emissions. Delegates are also debating how to form a green climate fund to support developing nations most affected by climate change. But we begin not inside the summit, but out in the streets of Durban, where thousands of people marched on Saturday calling for climate justice. We talk to leading environmental activists from around the world. "We're here to send a solid, strong message, a simple message to the leaders and negotiators of the climate change conference that this is no time to play around," says award-winning Nigerian environmental activist Nnimmo Bassey. "This is a time for real commitment to cut emissions and legally bind the agreement to cut emissions. The rich, polluting countries should understand that their inaction ... will destroy the planet ... We can't accept that." | |
