Some truth from COP21 - "The Paris Agreement Will See the Planet Burn"

"The Paris Agreement Will See the Planet Burn": Former Bolivian Climate Negotiator Pablo Solón



He once sat at the same table as the world leaders gathered in Paris to hammer out a U.N. agreement on global warming. Now he stands on the outside. We speak with Pablo Solón, former chief negotiator on climate change for Bolivia, as well as the country’s former ambassador to the United Nations. "The target was: We shouldn’t go beyond an increase of two degrees Celsius," Salon says of negotiators’ failed attempts to limit an increase in global temperatures. "And now to be speaking about four or even five degrees Celsius is, to put it in other terms, to burn the planet."




All the politicians are liars - almost all. Here's one, from Nicuragua, who speaks the truth. Listen from about 7' onwards. If you listen to the whole thing you will find that a more pedantic-than-usual Amy Goodman doesn't really want to hear what he has to say.
