UN Climate Summit.

President Biden spoke at the UN summit on climate change, known as COP27, highlighting that his recent law providing historic spending on clean energy will “change the paradigm” and confirms the US commitment to reduce emissions and fight global warming. Also, the US Climate Envoy John Kerry announced a new and controversial carbon-credit plan to boost investments in low-income countries to help them transition from fossil fuel to clean energy. Environmentalists call this a “greenwashing” tactic.

Guest: Ramón Cruz, President, The Sierra Club, Washington, DC (TBC); Others TBC.

Future of Military Funds for Ukraine. The US will send another package of military aid to Ukraine, as the vote counting from last week’s election raises the prospects of a Republican House majority and with it a decline of assistance to Ukraine. What would be the impact on the war under a divided US Congress? What are the prospects for peace talks?

Guest: Dr. Miguel Tinker-Salas, Professor, Pomona College, Los Angeles, CA (TBC)
