Climate Change Under U.S. Law – Part 1
Special guest Dan Galpern, legal and policy adviser to the climate scientist James E. Hansen and the founder of Climate Protection & Restoration Initiative (CPR Initiative), joins Dr. Peter Carter, Paul Beckwith and Regina Valdez in Part 1 of a multi-part series on ‘Climate Change under U.S. Law.’
This program focuses on the various facets of CPR’s first initiative, which proposes to protect the climate by introducing a rising carbon fee on oil, gas, and coal using existing federal U.S. law.
Eco-Migration
As global powers continue to emit greenhouse gases and our planet continues to warm, water levels will continue to rise, fires will continue to burn, crops wither in fields, and humans desperate for a place to live and food to eat will continue to be forced from their homes. Raya Salter and Dan Galpern join Paul Beckwith and Regina Valdez to discuss eco-migration.

COP Compliance & The Rule of Law
Legal challenges increase commitments, promote collaboration and force compliance using the rule of law, including existing international law, US law and litigation.
National commitments for climate action are essential, yet COP negotiations have led to empty promises. Urgent international collaboration is needed to equitably implement climate solutions. Please sign the petition to President Biden on carbon fees to phase out dangerous GHG emissions.
CPR Initiative has also petitioned the EPA to compel oil, gas and coal companies to clean up their mess by removing excess “legacy” carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) in the air – or else pay into a carbon removal fund to ensure that happens.
Sue the ******, Solve the Problem
Today we discuss with Dr. James Hansen and his legal advisor Dan Galpern, the approaches to reducing our carbon emissions by legal actions. Worth a watch. One successful lawsuit in the form they are describing could really put a crimp in the fossil fuel industry’s plans to kill us all for the sake of profit.
Recorded on December 5, 2019 at COP-25 in Madrid, Spain
Suing the B@stards
On today’s program we have with us attorneys Dan Galpern and Sarah Mead over-viewing for us the opportunities for taking action on climate change by bringing both corporations and governments to court. Please share this program with any attorneys you know, especially the ones who have children. They would be the most likely to take such legal actions since it is their children’s world that is being stolen from them by a destructive alliance of politics and money.
Making the Carbon Majors Pay for Climate Action
Dr. James Hansen and his legal advisor, Daniel Galpern, Esq., discuss making the fossil fuel companies, the ‘Carbon Majors’, pay for the damage they have done to society, not only in terms of climate change and all of its impacts, but also health impacts. This Climate Matters show, videotaped at COP-23 in Bonn, Germany, furthers the idea that the polluters must pay for the damage their pollution causes.
