Despite the record-setting super typhoon Haiyan that has devastated the Philippines, negotiators at this year's UN climate talks in Warsaw remain in political gridlock. Some Western nations are rejecting a plan for a green capital fund that would help poor nations adapt to the ongoing effects of the global climate crisis. Talks on emissions cuts have been delayed until 2015. And leaked documents have revealed that the United States is pushing an agenda that avoids taking financial responsibility for the "loss and damage" global warming has already caused. No wonder 133 developing nations have walked out of a key part of the talks. Young climate justice activists are standing in solidarity with the Philippines' lead negotiator Yeb Saño by fasting and demanding urgent action for climate justice. But some of those young people have already been kicked out of the summit for having banners with messages of solidarity for the victims of Haiyan - while corporations essentially lobbying against effective action on climate change are finding plenty of space to express themselves.
