  They promise more renewable energy but instead they invest in a new coal power station (Kingsnorth) and allow the only wind turbine plant (Vestas) to close. They promise domestic action but instead they plan to achieve emissions reductions through carbon credits. Sorry for the pessimism, but I don't believe in a single word of what thase guys say.

  Choosing between nuclear and coal power reminds me of the part in "Cidade de Deus" where a criminal asks a kid if he wants to be shot in the hand or the foot. We have loads of scientific studies that show that world energy needs can be satisfied with solar or wind power. Of course it's expensive, but so is nuclear energy (according to the MIT, the second most expensive, after solar).

  This is amazing. American politics at its worse. She wasn't being racist, of course, she was just showing how communities of color will be particularly affected by climate change.

  Sachs was the economist responsible for the "shock therapy" that had terrible effects on the collapsing Soviet Union. He has no credibility to discuss poverty.

  This is just more nonsense, to think that we have to embrace dangerous technologies to save ourselves from climate change. If we invest in environmentally friendly technologies we will have the right to demand reductions from China and India.
