The victory of the Conservative Party and the debacle of the Labour Party in the recent British general elections is yet another sign of the crisis facing left-wing forces today, leaving aside the question of how, under the British electoral system, the Labour Party actually increased the number of votes it won but saw a reduction in the number of …
It’s well-known that harsh climate conditions can mess with your mind — from cabin fever to heat delirium. But America is now experiencing an even more dangerous mind-numbing disease called Climaticus Non-vocalism Extremism. Oddly, CNE Syndrome almost exclusively afflicts a narrow segment of our population: Republican political officials and candidates. Scientific studies suggest that CNE Syndrome might stem from a …
Tuesday, for me and some ten thousand classmates, was the first day of climate denial school. Or, should I say, anti-climate denial school. We’d all signed up for Denial101x, a new, six-week MOOC (that’s “massive open online course,” for all you education luddites) aimed at making sense of this whole phenomenon — and at giving us the tools to fight deniers, so …
The so-called hiatus in global warming will probably make no difference to the world in the long run, according to Australian scientists. Using computer models to take the planetary temperature in 2100, they found that one set of models incorporated the slowdown, but others did not. In the end, the difference was barely significant: less than 0.1°C. The hiatus is …
Today, paying attention to pollutants in our air. What happens when a black site appears in the US exclusively for US citizens? Also, more on American exceptionalism and media perceptions concerning Nigeria. How organic farming can reverse agricultural problems.
Plus: Why climate science does not convince more people and how a new psychology might accelerate constructive climate action, with Per Espen Stoknes.
Pauline Panagiotou Schneider interviews Guy on his European tour, prophet of Doom profiteering, extinction-coping workshops, killing the messenger and more.
It’s not just your imagination. The punishing heat waves, record snowfall, and 500-year floods, which seem to be occurring with increasing frequency, are doing just that, thanks to global warming. According to a study (pdf) published Monday in the journal Nature Climate Change, these extreme weather events are clearly attributed to human-induced climate change and will only worsen as average temperatures tick higher …
On this week’s Global Research News Hour, we mark Earth Day with two interviews related to the urgent call to defend the planet from environmental damage.
First, we hear from Michael J Murphy, director/producer of the films “What in the World are the Spraying” and “Why in the World are they Spraying”. He discusses the clear and present threats associated with Geo-Engineering including so-called ‘chemtrails’ and speculates on who benefits and who does not from efforts to control the weather.
Carrie Saxifrage is a sustainability reporter for the Vancouver Observer and the author of the book “The Big Swim: Coming Ashore in a World Adrift”. She discusses how popular action can more easily be mobilized by changing the narrative and the way we approach the dilemma of climate collapse and other environmental hazards.
Carolyn and Peter Melton discuss how to build larger networks of support among people aware of the global crisis.
If you live in the eastern half of the North American continent you may be convinced that the planet is actually cooling instead of warming, even though 2014 was officially thewarmest year ever recorded on Earth. If you live on the east coast of the US, would you believe that January 2015 was the warmest January ever recorded in the Northern …
