Climate Change and Justice - Mary Robinson

Video Title :	Climate Change and Justice - Mary Robinson
Description :	Mary Robinson Climate Change and Justice Barbara Ward Lecture Chatham House, London 11 December 2006 Mary Robinson, a former President of Ireland and United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, calls for policymakers to adopt an approach to climate change that is rooted in the international human rights framework. "We can no longer think of climate change as an issue where we the rich give charity to the poor to help them cope. Rather, this has now become an issue of global injustice that will need a radically different approach." "Climate change has already begun to affect the fulfilment of human rights, and our shared human rights framework entitles and empowers developing countries and impoverished communities to claim protection of these rights." http://www.iied.org/

what a pain in the hole this woman was

Well, Mrs. Robinson had an approval rating of consistently over 90% while she was president of Ireland, I'm sure in no small part because, rather than relax into a comfortable "safe" presidency, she championed the marginalised and those without a political voice. That's in stark contrast to your hopeless and vulgar contribution to her remarks in this video. Her public speaking maybe at a rather stately pace, but her message retains its value.

They must speak about a grand deal that would take tobin tax in exchange for doha resolution. If they don't take this intermediary step, they wont resolve enough poverty and give some boost to individual liberty that they so love.
