![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | The 300-350 Show: Copenhagen Solutions - Fairness - Climate Radio
The global deal on climate change has two main requirements: that it is guided by the latest science and that it is fair. Without fairness there will be no deal, as nearly 200 countries need to agree and most of these countries are poor. We take a look at Oxfam Internationalâs proposal for what might constitute fairness and what might break current deadlock in the talks, in an interview with Richard King of Oxfam International...

| The 300-350 Show: Forests and Biofuels - Climate Radio
We continue our coverage of the UN Climate Talks in Poznan, Poland where the big issue on the table is "how to reduce emissions from deforestation"? The big push from investors is to incorporate forests into the carbon markets, but this approach is riddled with problems. Friends of the Earth International has warned that this would "create the climate regime's biggest ever loophole." We speak to Miguel Lovera, chair of the Global Forest Coalition about his concerns...

On 17th July 2008, former Vice President and Nobel Peace Prize winner, Al Gore gave a landmark speech in which he raised the bar on the political response required to solve, not only climate change, but also resource wars and rising energy prices. Goreâs challenge is for US citizens to call on the presidential candidates to commit themselves to power the US on renewable and what he calls clean energy sources within ten years...

We are delighted to present a recording of a lecture by joint Nobel Peace Prize Winner and Chair of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Dr Rajendra Pachauri. Dr Pachauri has made news recently by advocating eating less meat as a personal contribution to combating the problem of global warming and climate change. This advice has its basis in a recent report by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation entitled "Livestock's Long Shadow" which showed that beef a...

These include energy independence and a zero-carbon Britain by 2050. An efficiency standard for new power stations that would rule out unabatted coal. No nuclear power. No replacement for our Trident nuclear arsenal. Green taxes. Investment in public transport including a high speed rail network and complete electrification of the network...

| The Two Degrees Show: Climate Code Red - Climate Radio
Dr James Hansen, has said that we have passed the tipping point for Arctic and Greenland ice loss. This has dramatic implications for the possible accelaration of the rate of climate change. He suggests we now need to stabilise levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere at 350 parts per million (ppm) â lower than they are today (ca. 387 ppm). We discuss James Hansenâs recent findings and their implications with Dr Stuart Parkinson, Executive Director of Scientists for Global Responsibility who...

We recap some of the key findings of last years IPCC report and look at recent data which suggests that the north pole may be ice free as early as this summer. Does this mean the computer climate models are underestimating the rate of change now being observed? This weeks guests have both acted as expert reviewers for the Unite...

Biofuels have been condemned as a âcrime against humanityâ by the outgoing UN Rapporteur on the Right to Food, Jean Zeigler. We find out why agrofuels have been responsible for food riots and increasing hunger around the globe as well as being a false solution to the problem of climate change...

The tide turns against coal in the US while the UK lags behind... Despite James Hansen's personal plea to UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown last December to take a leadership role in initiating a global moratorium against unabated coal, the UK government's Department for Business currently looks likely to grant permission to a new series of coal-fired power stations that are "Carbon Capture Ready". What does this mean and is it good enough? We speak to Dr Keith Allott, Head of WWF-UK's Climate Chan...

If the Green Party have the policies to deal with the climate crisis and the other parties policies fall short or even head in the wrong direction, why are they not a more prominent feature on the UK's political landscape? The desire of the party not to be left out in the political wilderness at this critical time is the principal rationale behind the decision to elect their first leader at their confe...
