[See NewsBusters for more.] CNN climate guy Bill Weir joined At This Hour guest host Boris Sanchez to discuss the latest U.N. report calling climate change "code red for humanity." Weir sounded pessimistic about governments' willingness to do anything about it, but in an attempt to find some optimism hyped lawsuits by children amidst "the social license to go drilling for oil."

Weir began by declaring, "this is the sixth of these, chapter six of these warning reports, Boris. And the pledges that were made at the Paris Accords, no country virtually is meeting them yet and they're supposed to try to go to Glasgow in a couple of months an up the ante and say we’re going to do even more."
