I believe I heard this man speaking on CBC radio about a new term: ecological apartheid. It was a really interesting concept and will probably appear in next year's text books. This is something that world leaders shoudl definitely have on their minds as the effects of climate change become more and more obvious. It is not the rich who will suffer first or most; it is the multitudes of poor.
