U.N. Climate Summit Opens in Poland 
------------------------------------


 
The United Nations' annual climate summit begins today in Warsaw,
Poland. A binding agreement on tackling global warming is off the table,
with negotiators focused on reaching a deal for 2015. On the eve of the
summit, a group of environmentalists staged a protest in central Warsaw.

Kelly Dent: "The climate change is impacting on hunger and food
production, so we are here at the start of the climate talks in Warsaw
to call on governments to urgently take action on climate change. We
want to see emissions reduced, and we want to see money for poor people
in developing countries to be able to adapt and cope with the impacts of
climate change that they're feeling right now."

Tune in next week when Democracy Now! broadcasts live from the U.N.
climate summit.
