4:14Now PlayingDuring Democracy Now!'s live broadcast from the United Nations climate summit in Madrid, Spain, a protest erupted inside the conference venue representing indigenous leaders and other climate advocates from all over the globe. Tom Goldtooth from the Indigenous Environmental Network, who was also participating in the protest, said that the protesters are concerned about the "corporate takeover" of the conference, and fear that the conference "has nothing to do with addressing global warming, climate change" and more to do with "trading mechanisms." Some of the world's biggest oil companies — including Shell, BP and Chevron — are present at COP25, and Endesa, Spain’s biggest corporate greenhouse gas polluter, is sponsoring the event. It's "nothing but a grab for CO2 colonialism," Goldtooth said.
