Naomi Klein on climate debt (Part 6)

Feb. 25, 2010 - Naomi Klein gives a lecture on the issue of climate debt, organized by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives http://policyalternatives.ca

The event was media sponsored and livebroadcast by http://rabble.ca

This was the first in a series of lectures in honour of David Lewis (19091981), a leading labour lawyer, life-long social democrat, a founder of the NDP and its national leader from 1970 to 1975.

The lecture series will focus on issues that were important to David Lewis: social democracy, organized labour, and income inequality.

Hilarious to hear a privileged northerner chastise someone as being blinded to the worldwide economic depression as if what is happening in Canada or the US is anywhere near as devastating as what is happening in Bangladesh or Yemen or Bolivia, etc, etc.

Blinded? Look in the mirror boy and turn off the tv.

Mulroney later admitted to taking money from a certain arms peddler in envelopes in hotel rooms. I am sure that Karlheinz Schreiber is not the only person that Mulroney found - tempting. Corruption is part of the problem - polluting the planet can be very profitable.

However, getting rid of politicians won't get rid of corruption - there is a bit too much koolaid in your tea.

Aren't these "mad scientists" also human beings? Since certain man-made chemicals make me very sick, I agree that it should be included in Climate debt - along with those who live down wind of chemical plants' cancer rates, there is also every day health affected.

Question: Why were Environmental Protections not included in the Free Trade/NAFTA agreement? David Lewis's replacement Ed Broadbent did his best to try to get them included but Mulroney and Reagan had other ideas.

@VideoResponseTeam ). I love this planet, the people & species that share its beauty. I ain't nobody's fool and neither should anyone else be. Society may not change for the better if the blind are leading the blind. Boycott all mainline political parties that do not investigate HAARP and chemical aerosols programs entering our atmosphere.

@VideoResponseTeam Plus, politicos talk so freely about carbon trading...carbon credit swapping is deplorable. It makes so-called pollution (carbon) a commodity. This is why the wealthy corporations are support the global warming theory.

They can trade carbon credits and profit from derivatives and futures trading of carbon...the essential unit of LIFE!

[H204Real]

I boycott any political parties that refuse to look at HAARP and geo-engineering experiments' impact on our atmosphere, human and planetary health.

Instead, all mainline political parties move forward with climate change legislation that has not even had a detailed impact paper released to the public on the effects on the economy, society, health access and human rights and freedoms.

@VideoResponseTeam More solutions: Release alternative energy vehicles from dungeons. Imprison 4 life ppl involved in human trafficking. End all privately run prisons. End the federalization of your State/Provincial assets. Get your locally run power back from the Feds and from the globalists on every level. Support local economies. End globalism.

Solution: 100% globalist overhaul. Demand the international banking cartel release nations around the world from bondage. Demand we print our own money at zero interest. Stop financing wars on drug and on terror. Cease biotechnology (GMOs) from contaminating heritage seeds 4ever.
