1:59Now PlayingWatch the Democracy Now! special coverage from the U.N. climate summit in Warsaw at Questioned by Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman, the U.S. special envoy for climate change and lead climate negotiator Todd Stern rejected calls for reparations to poor countries damaged by the carbon emissions of the world's biggest polluters. Nitin Sethi, senior assistant editor at The Hindu, published a leaked U.S. briefing papers on the climate negotiations before the summit began. The documents revealed how U.S. negotiators at the climate talks are opposing efforts to help developing countries adapt to climate change. According to the internal memo, the U.S. delegation is worried the talks in Warsaw will "focus increasingly on blame and liability" and that poor nations will be "seeking redress for climate damages from sea level rise, droughts, powerful storms and other adverse impacts."
Hours before Goodman questioned Sterns on Nov. 21, more than 800 members of various environmental groups staged an unprecedented walk out of the climate talks.
