Hard Climate Bargaining In Paris (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

It is crunch time now at the Paris climate talks. Almost time to stand and deliver. For all the promises and expectations to be met – or fall short. Out front, it’s been mainly smiles and high determination. Solemn vows to get it done. To draw a line on climate change. In the back rooms, it’s hardball. Who will really do how much to rein in global warming? Who will check that promises are kept? Who will help pay for poor nations to do their part? Talks like these have fallen apart before. Hopes are high this time, but it’s hard. This hour On Point, inside the crunch time negotiations in Paris. — Tom Ashbrook
