On this edition of Your Call's media roundtable, we're discussing yesterday's US House climate disinformation hearing. For the first time, Big Oil CEOs and pro-oil industry organizations testified about their knowledge of and the link between climate change and the burning of fossil fuels. We'll also discuss the young climate activists who are on a hunger strike in front of the White House and the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties, which begins on October 31 in Glasgow.
