Afghan leaders have endorsed a security agreement which would keep U.S. troops in Afghanistan beyond 2014. We'll find out why President Karzai says he's not ready to sign it. Plus, the vice president of climate change for the World Wildlife Fund was in Warsaw, Poland, for the COP19 climate talks. He joins us to discuss the WWF’s decision to join the walkout. Finally, in our monthly EcoMyths segment we'll dive into the effect of global warming on freshwater ecosystems.
