EARTHBEAT — Recapping Copenhagen and Can Cantwell Cap Climate?
Coming down from Copenhagen – we review what happened, and what didn’t at the recent United Nations Climate meeting in Denmark.
Host Daphne Wysham speaks to Erich Pica, the President Friends of the Earth, and Janet Redman the co-director of the Sustainable Energy and Economy Network at the Institute for Policy Studies in our studios; and joining us on the telephone just having returned from Copenhagen is Earthbeat co-host Mike Tidwell.
Washington Senator Maria Cantwell introduced a bill seeking to plug some of the problems with carbon cap and trade. The Friends of the Earth’s Erich Pica stays in our studios to discuss the bill with David Bookbinder, the senior climate counsel for the Sierra Club.
Then a conversation about the largest World Bank loan ever to Africa – for building two new coal-fired power plants. We speak to Sunita Dubey of the U.S. offices of the South African environmental justice group Groundwork.
