Tomas Wyns, a policy officer with the Climate Action Network, explains the gap between what he says science says must be done to confront climate change and the actual mitigation targets proposed by many rich countries, saying the two are still very far apart. He compares the amount of money used to save banks, and calls the lack of focus on climate change at the same level is a kind of “hypocrisy.” Also see Valentin Bartra, Co-Chair Climate Action Network International, speaking from Barcelona in 2009; and Angela Anderson, Program Director, US Climate Action Network speaking from Bangkok in 2009.
