Rising Profits, Sinking Planet: Socialist Solutions to the Climate Crisis

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=162hWzni4lc

The social crisis that continues in NY post-hurricane Sandy has opened up a lot of questions around climate change; who is affected by climate change? Why aren't we putting any resources into infrastructure to prepare for these disasters? What is causing climate change? And what could a society based on human need look like in light of the amazing work done by Occupy Sandy?
