Dan Howells, Greenpeace USA deputy campaigns director, joins “The Young Turks” to talk about 2012 being the year on record and what drilling for oil means for the climate. Professor Tricia Rose and documentary filmmaker Ross Tuttle weigh in on New York’s stop-and-frisk program being declared unconstitutional. Attorney Michael Doyle, who helped get military contractor KBR (a former Halliburton subsidiary) convicted on negligence in Iraq, responds to KBR’s attempting to have American taxpayers cover both its legal bills and the amount it’s supposed to pay in damages. Plus, attorney Daryl Weinman introduces Divorce Resort, her solution to the extra stress dissolving a marriage can cause for couples.
