The 300-350 Show: The Road to Copenhagen - Bonn, Week 1
Climate Radio | 09.06.2009 11:26 | COP15 Climate Summit 2009 | Climate Chaos | Ecology | World
We start our coverage of the United Nations climate talks in Bonn with a look at some of the targets that rich nations are bringing to the table. We also flag up the dangers of the scientifically unfounded rush to include Biochar and large-scale no-till agriculture in the draft negotiating texts.
Featuring an interview with Almuth Ernsting from Biofuel Watch and various speakers from Climate Action Network International.
