U.N. Climate Change Talks Open in Morocco
-----------------------------------------

The United Nations climate change talks opened today in Morocco, with
the U.S. election casting doubt over efforts to slow global warming.
Delegates to the negotiations in Marrakesh fear that, if elected, Donald
Trump would make good on a campaign pledge to withdraw the U.S. from the
Paris Agreement on climate change reached last year. Meanwhile, many
climate scientists warn that countries need to commit to far deeper
reductions in greenhouse gas emissions to meet the agreement's goal of
limiting global temperature rise to 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit. We'll have
more on global warming all next week, as Democracy Now! broadcasts from
the U.N. climate talks in Marrakesh, Morocco.
