Longtime Nigerian activist and poet Nnimmo Bassey joins us at COP28 in Dubai to discuss how "false climate solutions" like carbon trading markets are hurting efforts to reduce emissions and prevent catastrophic global heating. "People are making deals rather than talking about how to cut emissions at source," says Bassey. "We're seeing a sellout of the African continent." Bassey is director of the Health of Mother Earth Foundation and received the Right Livelihood Award in 2010 for his environmental activism.
