Naomi Klein on Climate Debt

14 November 2009CommonDreams

While industrialized countries like the United States, China, and India continue to argue over the best way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, small, underdeveloped countries are already starting to feel the effects of global climate change. The worst part is that these countries have done very little to contribute to the problem, yet they're the ones who are paying the price. Ring of Fire's next guest says that the US and other carbon emitting countries need to be footing the bill to protect these areas, by what's known as climate debt. Mike Papantonio talks about this concept with Naomi Klein, author of the best-selling book "The Shock Doctrine."
