False Solutions to Climate Change with Dr. Rachel Smolker

Send us Fan MailBreaking Green talks with biologist Dr. Rachel Smolker about false solutions to climate change.  The ravages of Global Climate Change are becoming more apparent every day, and people and nations are becoming more desperate for solutions. But there is increasing concern that agreements within the United Nations annual climate conferences are being driven by corporate interests that seek to monetize nature itself and secure corporate profits instead of addressing the root causes of climate change. Green capitalism with proposals such as payments for environmental services and carbon trading, allow corporations to continue business as usual under a green veneer. Some proposals even suggest global techno fixes that would alter weather patterns on a planetary scale.Breaking Green is produced by Global Justice Ecology Project.Breaking Green is made possible by donations from people like you.  Please help us lift up the voices of those working to protect forests, defend human rights and expose false solutions.  Simply click here to send a donation or text GIVE to 1 716 257 4187.The compendium of false solution to climate change is Hoodwinked in the Hothouse.Support the show
