asad rehman led the walkout.we will talk to him outside. ♪♪ [music break] amy: "parade" by sylvan esso. this is democracy now! i'm amy goodman. as we continue our coverage of the u.n. climate summit in glasgow, scotland, where negotiations for a climate agreement have entered their final day. an earlier draft had called for "phasing out of coal and subsidies for fossil fuels." meanwhile, the new draft is calling for the phaseout of "unabated coal power and of inefficient subsidies for fossil fuels." one of the added words, "unabated" means nations could continue using coal if they are able to capture large amounts of the carbon dioxide they emit -- something that's been widely deemed controversial as the technology to fully capture greenhouse gases is still being developed. indigenous leaders and climate justice activists have denounced the draft agreement as a failure and far weaker than what climate scientists say is crucial to do to contain global heating to 1.5 degrees celsius above pre-industrial levels. tod

kevin anderson, if you could talk more about this issue, both you and george, asad rehman and 70 othervist talking about this issue of wealth. you say per capita is a flawed metric is most polluting industries have been moved to developing nations so it is not reflective of the rich nations emissions. take all of this on. >> that is a key issue. our focus here on u.k. -- in the u.k. we have closed down industry and import the manufactured goods from elsewhere in the world and then we turn around to those parts of the world and blame them for their emissions in manufacturing the goods that we are enjoying. from electronic goods to parts for our cars and clothing, u.k. has moved to a far banking culture, offshore virtually everything else. looking at our total amount of emissions, we have to take account of the carbon footprint of our lifestyles -- and that includes the emissions we associate with things we import and export. you tend to find most wealthy countries have a much larger carbon footprint than just looking at the energy they use within their boundaries. it is key when we thin
