Tina Gerhardt: Reporting from Cancun
December 7, 2010Though there is little hope for a binding international agreement from the current round of climate talks held by the United Nations in Cancun this week, there is something different about the conversation. Tina Gerhardt reports that countries who are in attendance at the talks aren't talking about future consequences of global climate change, but instead talking about the crises they are suffering right now. From drought to floods, weather patterns are shifting and across the world, people are feeling the pain.Tina Gerhardt and Bill McKibben

January 8, 2010After the Copenhagen climate talks ended with no binding agreement, youth from around the world sent this message to their leaders: "You're not done yet. And neither are we."Media Narratives, Gaza and Uncle Bob
January 7, 2010No matter what the news is, which country has tensions, who's making threats, the response from TV news seems to be the same: quote Dick Cheney. We saw plenty of that this week, along with pronouncements that Democrats are doomed in 2010, complaints about progressives who've criticized the health care bill, and of course Tiger Woods.Holidays with Harry Shearer, and Music as Labor
December 24, 2009Happy Holidays from all of us at GRITtv. While you're sitting down with family--or celebrating alone--or not celebrating at all, we've got a special show for you to enjoy tonight.The F Word: Holiday Spirit?
December 24, 2009It’s that familiar season, full of quaint old false beliefs. Like that crazy Santa Claus notion there’s such a thing as just desserts. Who’s been naughty and who’s been nice? It’s pretty clear in the world of global politics, but there’s no relation between behavior and the consequences. In fact, if there's any relationship, it's downside up.Vigil for Survival
December 22, 2009In Copenhagen, while world leaders argued dollar amounts and percentage points, more than 5000 ordinary people, activists and NGO workers, decided to fast for climate justice as an example of their willingness to make sacrifices for the greater good. This video from TckTckTck shows their vigil outside the conference.Movies, Philadelphia Security Officers, and Alan Grayson
December 21, 2009The holiday season is usually when the biggest movies of the year come out, but there are several that have been out for a while generating lots of buzz. Kathryn Bigelow received a Golden Globe nomination for The Hurt Locker and is being touted as the woman who could break the Best Director Oscar's all-male streak. Other films this year told unconventional stories of women outside the usual mold of Hollywood superstars. But was this actually a good year for women in cinema?Kate Sheppard: Divide and Conquer Copenhagen
December 18, 2009Kate Sheppard of Mother Jones magazine has been in Copenhagen for the climate talks for the last two weeks.Mohammed Rezwan: Global Community
December 18, 2009Mohammed Rezwan told the Washington Post about his floating schools in Bangladesh, a creative solution that looks all the more necessary as climate talks tank in Copenhagen. He stopped by the GRITtv studios to tell us about his organization, Shidhulai Swanirvar Sangstha, which brings services to the people by boat.
