Democracy Now!: Thursday, Dec. 17, 2009

From Copenhagen: Journalist Naomi Klein calls the U.S. offer to contribute to a $100 billion dollar annual climate aid fund for poorer nations beginning in 2020 "a naked form of blackmail." Bolivian President Evo Morales discusses the UN climate talks, capitalism and climate debt and more. French journalist Jade Lindgaard explains a leaked UN Framework Convention on Climate Change internal document that states that current emissions reduction targets could lead to a 3 degree Celsius rise in temperatures. And a Tuvaluan delegate and Solomon Islands youth activist talk about their nations' plight. "Democracy Now!" is a daily independent newshour.
