E26: Demystifying the climate change talks – implications for whales, dolphins and porpoises

This week whales-online’s own Dr Margi Prideaux demystifies the climate change talks and explains the background, the science and the political negotiations taking place in Bali this week.

She describes, in plain English, the Kyoto Protocol and details the focus for a post Kyoto deal, with an emphasis on what will be necessary to save the future, not only for ourselves, but also for whales, dolphins and porpoises.
