Protests In Paris At COP21 Climate Talks

Last night a series of protests and marches took place around the world with tens of thousands rallying against climate change. They’re doing that in advance of the COP21, an international gathering of diplomats discussing climate change. Ana Kasparian (The Point) and John Iadarola (Think Tank), hosts of the The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"So in recent years, the UN climate talks have shifted to a radically new model. Each country will start off by deciding for itself how it plans to tackle greenhouse gas emissions, taking into account its own unique domestic situation. This "bottom-up" structure has led to universal participation, which is no small thing. Since 2014, every single major emitter has submitted a climate pledge to the UN. Some highlights:

- The United States is vowing to cut its greenhouse gas emissions at least 26 percent below 2005 levels by 2025, through policies like the Clean Power Plan to decarbonize power plants.The European Union will cut emissions 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030.China has vowed that its emissions will peak around 2030 and that it will get about 20 percent of its electricity from carbon-free sources by then.”*
