The Paris Climate conference (COP21) has now ended, and the media (not to mention popular campaign groups like Avaaz) would have us believe that we, the people, have won. A fantastic deal has been reached; it's 'historic', it's worth celebrating, it's cause to pat ourselves on the back. But is that the truth, or do we still need to keep fighting?

James Hansen, a former top climate scientist at NASA, has some strong opinions on the matter. He told Democracy Now's Amy Goodman during the Paris talks:

"This is a total fraud. We're not going to reduce emissions as long as we let fossil fuels be the cheapest form of energy. There are lots of countries that want to lift their people out of poverty, and of course they should do that. but everyone would be better off if the price of fossil fuels was honest. It should include its cost to society."
