A new documentary based on Naomi Klein's book, "This Changes Everything - Capitalism v the Climate" has just opened in the US and is being tipped to transform the climate change political landscape from just talk to grass roots activism to save our world. Indeed the world is mobilising and people are no longer simply asking their politicians politely to do the right thing. "Blockadia" is set to become the new catch cry and nowhere is it stronger then in China and India.   

I have posted 2 15 minute clips from an interview by Democracy Now discussing the new doco with Naomi Klein and the producer. If you want a heads up to whats around the corner you'll want to watch these clips (esp the second clip).

We know how much carbon can be burned while still giving ourselves a 50-50 chance or better of meeting that target, and these companies have five times more carbon in their reserves than that amount. That explains why fossil fuel companies so actively fight the very dissemination of honest, climate science, why they fund politicians and organisations that deny the science of climate change, and why they fight every serious attempt to respond to climate change, whether it is a carbon tax or whether it is support for renewable energy.
