America will keep on wrecking climate talks as long as those with vested interests in oil and gas fund its political system, writes George Monbiot.

While attention is focused on our use of fossil fuels, there are as yet no plans to limit their supply – yet there is no other reason for the continuing extraction of coal, oil and gas but to be burnt. George Monbiot talks to Sonali Kolhatkar on Bali, climate change, and environmental greenwash.

All the talk in Bali about cutting carbon means nothing while ever more oil and coal is being extracted and burned, writes George Monbiot.
