Critics say Copenhagen climate deal lacks necessary reforms

Late Friday, officials in Copenhagen announced a climate change agreement. Some details include limiting global temperature rise to 2 degrees Celsius, providing a framework for countries to monitor carbon emissions, and a pledge by rich countries to raise funds to help poor countries face the consequences of climate change. But the agreement isn’t legally binding and critics say it falls short on many of the key issues. There is also widespread criticism of how the deal came about and who was involved.

To assess the agreement that came from Copenhagen, we are joined by Michael Dorsey, an assistant professor at Dartmouth College. He directs the Climate Justice Research Project -- and he just returned back from Copenhagen earlier this morning.
