At #COP28 in Dubai, Raya Salter and Carlos Garcia host a panel of experts to examine the impact of #MilitaryOperations on the climate. At a time when humanity needs to focus on the restoration of land and water, wars around the planet are destroying cities, lives and ecosystems. Peace is essential for keeping the climate system from catastrophic failure. Tamara Lorincz tells us the amount of money that flows to military operations, and its resource extraction, is over two trillion dollars annually. While Dr. Amara Eniya explains how debt, compunded by droughts and floods that are the direct result of the #ClimateCrisis, is crippling many nations who struggle to provide for the basic needs of their people. John D. Liu is the voice of Commonland, the restoration efforts that are being accomplished around the world, bringing back land and hydrological cycles.

COP has shown that endlessly discussing how to mitigate and adapt to human induced climate change is a failed process. Instead we need to effectively act as a species on a planetary scale to restore natural ecological function. With over 80 large restoration projects around the world, John D. Liu is working with thousands of people to do just that. Nick Breeze, author of COPOUT, and John explore dynamic possibilities for protecting earth’s vital systems. An inspiring clip from the film, The Flourishing Path, with #JaneGoodall is included in this program from COP29 in Baku.

Nick Breeze gives an eye opening account of what happened at each COP through Dubai, starting with the famous Paris Accord in 2015, and often crossing paths with the founder of this channel, the late Stuart Scott. In the nearly 30 years that the UN’s Conferences of the Parties (COP) have come and gone, emissions have increased by 60%, CO2 levels in the atmosphere have sailed past the 350pp million safe limit to 421 ppm today, and 250 billion tons of greenhouse gasses have been released. As a result, global temperatures have continued to rise, crossing the 1.5 degree celsius safe boundary to an average of 1.64C for the entire year we just experienced. As in Dubai, this year’s #COP in Azerbaijan, will be presided over by an oil and gas executive, Mukhtar Babayev, with promises to secure finances and an agreement to reduce emissions and increase renewable energy. No mention of the restoration of nature.

The evidence is all around us. Our industrialized civilization is taking us into an unlivable future. Every continent is affected by the fever we have inflicted on our planet. The gravity of the climate emergency is clear. Even as the crisis hits the United States and Europe - #MauiFires, Midwest hailstorms, hot tub ocean temperatures in Florida, Italian cities on red alert, Spain in drought, extended #HeatWaves- mirroring what's been happening in the global south, political action is still not happening. What will it take for world leaders to stop subsidizing extinction? And what do the next decades portend? In this program, Peter Carter, the director of the #ClimateEmergency Institute, and co-author of Unprecedented Crime: Climate Science Denial and Game Changers for Survival and Paul Beckwith, Climate System Scientist and Professor of Climatology, Meteorology, and Oceanography at the University of Ottawa and Carleton University look at this question and explain why getting off fossil fuels is essential to our survival.

golefttv — March 26, 2009 — Its been 20 years since the Exxon Valdez oil tanker spilled into the Prince William Sound, and dumped almost 11 million gallons of oil into the water. But even after two decades of trials and environmental cleanup, conditions are still dismal for the residents who have been trying to get justice. And to make things even worse, we still don't have a full understanding of what really happened when the tanker hit the reef. And that's where our good friend and investigative reporter, Greg Palast comes in. Greg has been covering this story since the start, and it was the lack of real investigations and inquiries into this disaster that kickstarted his career in journalism. Ring of Fire's Mike Papantonio talks with Palast about the true history of the Exxon Valdez.
