We speak with Claudia Salerno, the top negotiator for Venezuela at the U.N. Climate Conference in Doha who is known for her dramatic action at the conference three years ago in Copenhagen, when she bloodied her fist while banging it on the table, demanding to be heard. She says her main concern this year is that new commitments to the Kyoto Protocol, the only legally binding international climate agreement, will be "meaningless." "The first thing countries need to understand when they want to succeed in the process is to understand that this is not an environmental process," Salerno says. "This is a process that is going to have impact in economics, so that is why it is so difficult for developed countries that are doing well economically, or even doing bad, to do the necessary changes in their economy."
