At COP23, the International Energy Agency predicts U.S. oil production is expected to grow at an unparalleled rate in the coming years—even as the majority of scientists worldwide are saying countries need to cut down on fossil fuel extraction, not accelerate it. Meanwhile, a group of 15,000 scientists have come together to issue a dire “second notice” to humanity, 25 years after a group of scientists issued the “first notice” warning the world about climate change. We speak with the co-author of this report, Kevin Anderson, one of the world’s leading climate scientists. Anderson is deputy director of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research and professor of energy and climate change at the University of Manchester in Britain. The report is entitled “Can the Climate Afford Europe’s Gas Addiction?

Trump Climate Adviser Tells Democracy Now! Coal Needs a “Level Playing Field” at U.N. Climate Talks
Published on Nov 15, 2017 by Democracy Now!
This year’s U.N. climate summit in Bonn, Germany, marks the first climate conference since President Donald Trump vowed to pull the United States out of the landmark 2015 Paris climate agreement, a process that takes four years. We speak with Trump’s climate adviser David Banks, the White House special assistant for international energy and environment, about his views on climate change and the Trump administration’s stance on the role by humans in inducing climate change. This comes one day after the Trump administration made its official debut at COP23 with a forum pushing coal, gas and nuclear power that included speakers from coal company Peabody Energy, a nuclear engineering firm and a gas exporter. https://www.democracynow.org/2017/11/15/trumps_climate_adviser_david_banks_at[with embedded video, and transcript]
Special Report from the Occupied Forest: Meet Activists Fighting Europe’s Largest Open-Pit Coal Mine
Published on Nov 15, 2017 by Democracy Now!
Reporting from COP23 in Bonn, Germany, Democracy Now! travels to the nearby blockade of the Hambach coal mine, the largest open-pit coal mine in Europe. Activists say the mine extracts an extremely dirty form of coal called lignite, also known as brown coal, which causes the highest CO2 emissions of any type of coal when burned. For more than five years, they have been fighting to shut down the mine and to save the remaining forest from being cut down to make way for the expanding project. Only 10 percent of the ancient forest remains. https://www.democracynow.org/2017/11/15/special_report_from_the_occupied_forest[with embedded video, and transcript]

Wednesday, Nov. 15th 2017: Is Roy Moore Finished? - Steve Bannon is having second thoughts about Roy Moore as the Alabama Senate candidate's sexual assault allegations continue pouring in. Joe Biden has been accused of “Weinstein level” groping by an ex-secret service agent which ads to the large amount of videos showing him creepily stroking women of all ages. Also, President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe is in custody after a military coup. Jack Posobiec hosts the fourth and final hour.
The attorney for Roy Moore, the candidate for the Alabama seat vacated by now-Attorney General Jeff Sessions, holds a press conference following multiple allegations of sexual harassment and assault against Moore.
As the Roy Moore allegation and accusers continue to pile up, it is beginning to seem eerily like the French Revolution, where just an accusation means guilt. The War Room cuts through the garbage and tells you the real agenda behind the attacks on Roy Moore. We look at what has happened with multiculturalism in Europe, and how Americans can help the Trump agenda in 2018.
