Amy Goodman interviews David Helvarg and George Monbiot about extreme weather and the effects of global warming.
"It is ironic that last summer when you have historic heat wave and flooding in Europe, most Europeans recognize it as climate change. When we have historic drought and forest fires in the west, they blame environmentalists. I think that, the fact that, our President, his dad, his vice President, Secretary of Commerce and National Security Adviser are all veterans of the oil industry, y'know, if your major campaign contributors are oil and gas industry, you're not likely to admit that they're also the major contributors to climate change and that we need a rapid and immediate transition to new non-carbon energy technologies."
