This weeks guests are Steve Denshire (Rising Tide Newcastle) and Naomi Hogan (Climate Action Newtown) who have recently returned from the World People's Conference on Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth, in Bolivia. In response to the failure of Copenhagen, the Bolivian government called this People's Conference, which ran over four days and was attended by 35 thousand people! Issues such as climate debt, a climate justice tribunal, climate migrants and the dangers of the carbon market were discussed.
