Anti-War Climate Justice, Arizona’s All-Seeing Eye & Kids As Pre-Existing Conditions

September 5, 2019 Eleanor Goldfield, Occupy.com Resistance Report Anti-War, Climate Change

Indigenous lands become a testing ground for Israeli-US mass surveillance – and once again indigenous wisdom throws common sense at the blundering idiocy of empire. Plus, kids as pre-existing conditions and detention centers as black sites. Next up, the people are mobilizing and connecting issues and power in the face of imperialist climate change.

Nonviolence Denial Is As Dangerous As Climate Denial

September 5, 2019 Staff, Davidswanson.org Resist! Climate Change, Nonviolent Action

Persistent willful ignorance of necessary knowledge can be deadly. This is true of denial of climate collapse. It is also true of denial of the tools and power of nonviolent action. As evidence and knowledge pile up in each case, denial of the facts looks more and more intentional, reckless, and malevolent, or intentionally, recklessly, and malevolently manufactured by propagandists. “We need to burn more oil or suffer horribly” is slowly being recognized as a vicious deception, as more and more people come to understand that we need to burn less oil or suffer horribly.

Extinction Rebellion Shuts Down Manchester

September 4, 2019 Sophie Halle-Richards, Manchester Evening News Resist! Climate Change, Extinction Rebellion, Police, Protests

"Any action to disrupt major transport links impacting businesses and communities will be totally unacceptable" Greater Manchester Police have urged climate change protesters to allow the city to get back to normal following this weekend's demonstration. Extinction Rebellion demonstrators have brought Deansgate to a standstill since Friday morning, to highlight the threat of climate change. Roads remained closed to all cars from St Mary's Gate to John Dalton Street as hundreds of protesters gathered for talks on sustainable living, climate chance and resistance.

Defying Dystopia: Shaping The Climate Future We Want

September 3, 2019 By Nick Buxton, Roarmag.org Strategize! Climate Change, Science

We live in an age of dystopias on demand. Whether it’s Black Mirror, The Hunger Games or The Handmaid’s Tale, there is no limit to satiating our desires for dark, apocalyptic visions of the future. Unfortunately the scariest experience does not involve the world of the imaginary; it just requires reading the latest climate science. In one such piece in July 2017, New York Magazine managed to pull together all the possible worst-case climate scenarios in a longread called “The Uninhabitable Earth.”

The Last Act Of The Human Comedy

September 3, 2019 Chris Hedges, Truthdig.com Educate! Climate Change, Environment, Global Warming

There is nothing new to our story. The flagrant lies and imbecilities of the inept and corrupt leader. The inability to halt the costly, endless wars and curb the gargantuan expenditures on the military. The looting of a beleaguered populace by the rich. The destruction of the ecosystem. The decay and abandonment of a once-efficient infrastructure. The implosion of the institutions, from education to diplomacy, that sustain a functioning state. The world has seen it before.

Ecosystems And Ecological Breakdown

September 2, 2019 UK Youth Climate Coalition, Theecologist.org Educate! Climate Change, Ecology, Environment

The first of the 'system change' blog series from the UK Youth Climate Coalition. Ecosystems - defined as ‘all the living things in an area and the way they affect each other and the environment’ - are central to how the natural world functions. They depend on something referred to as ‘dynamic equilibrium’ for stability. That is to say, through constant rebalancing, a stable ecosystem can thrive. The threats to balance in an ecosystem may be a natural disaster or the spread of disease, for example...

The Politics Of Ecosocialism

September 2, 2019 By Ian Angus, Rebelnews.ie Strategize! Climate Change, Ecosocialism

Marx and Engels were deeply concerned about capitalism’s destruction of the natural world, including river and urban pollution, and the degradation of the soil that all life depends on. For them, the word ‘socialism’ included those concerns and the need to overcome them. But in the 20th Century, most socialist organisations treated such matters as secondary, if they addressed them at all. Some even viewed massively destructive projects such as damming major rivers and plowing virgin soils as progressive in some sense.

Can We Reach 100 Percent Renewable Energy In Time To Avert Climate Catastrophe?

August 30, 2019 Daniel Ross, Earth | Food | Life, a project of the Independent Media Institute. Create! Climate Change, Renewable Energy

Ten years ago, two climate scientists, Mark Jacobson and Mark Delucchi, published a groundbreaking article in Scientific American outlining a road map for becoming 100 percent reliant on energy generated by water, wind and sun by 2030. This was something that needed to be done “if the world has any hope of slowing climate change,” the researchers warned at the time. The article proved incendiary. “First of all, nobody believed it when we put out that paper in 2009,” Jacobson, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Stanford University, told Truthout. “It was a very pie-in-the-sky thought.

Flare Up Like A Forest Fire

August 30, 2019 Bue Rübner Hansen, Roarmag.org Resist! Amazon Rainforest, Climate Change, Wildfires

Watching the Amazon burn, it is hard not to feel despair. But we have to remind ourselves that social transformations can take off as rapidly as a forest fire. The climate and ecosystems all have tipping points. For instance, it is estimated that 20 percent tree loss in the Amazon will change rainfall conditions, and push the forest into irreversible decline. And as temperatures rise, the thawing permafrost will enter a positive feedback loop in which melting releases the greenhouse gas methane, heating the atmosphere and accelerating the disappearance of the permafrost.

Climate Groups Will Shut Down D.C. With Mass Nonviolent Civil Disobedience

August 29, 2019 By Kaela Bamberger, DC Climate Strike Resist! Climate Change, climate crisis, Climate Justice

Youth leaders from around the world have called for a Global Climate Strike and week of action from September 20-27. Youth have led the way so far, but now they are calling on everyone to take action alongside them. In Washington, D.C. we are answering that call in a major way: on September 23, we are going to Shut Down D.C. While countries deliberate the fate of the world at the U.N. Climate Action Summit in New York City, a coalition of climate groups and allies will bring traffic and business as usual to a standstill in the nation’s capital. Parents, workers, students and everyone who is concerned about global heating will skip work and school and put off their other responsibilities to take action on the climate crisis.

What Does ’12 Years To Act On Climate Change’ (Now 11 Years) Really Mean?

August 29, 2019 Bob Berwyn, Insideclimatenews.org Educate! Climate Change, Reform

We've been hearing variations of the phrase "the world only has 12 years to deal with climate change" a lot lately. Sen. Bernie Sanders put a version of it front and center of his presidential campaign last week, saying we now have "less than 11 years left to transform our energy system away from fossil fuels to energy efficiency and sustainable energy, if we are going to leave this planet healthy and habitable." But where does the idea of having 11 or 12 years come from, and what does it actually mean?

Climate Denial Is Reported More Than Science

August 27, 2019 Tim Radford, Climatenewsnetwork.net Educate! Climate Change, Science

LONDON, 22 August, 2019 − Rich and poor countries see the challenge of the growing crisis quite differently: for the wealthy it revolves around climate denial, while for those in poverty it’s a matter of life and death. In the developing world, climate news is presented by the media as an international problem. In the rich world newspapers, broadcasters and websites tend to see it as a political issue, according to researchers at the University of Kansas. And in the richest country of all, climate news is presented as a contentious issue.

Scientists Conclude: Climate Change Has No Natural Cause

August 26, 2019 Tim Radford, Climatenewsnetwork.net Educate! Climate Change, Science

LONDON, 19 August, 2019 – European and US scientists have cleared up a point that has been nagging away at climate science for decades: not only is the planet warming faster than at any time in the last 2,000 years, but this unique climate change really does have neither a historic precedent nor a natural cause. Other historic changes – the so-called Medieval Warm Period and then the “Little Ice Age” that marked the 17th to the 19th centuries – were not global. The only period in which the world’s climate has changed, everywhere and at the same time, is right now.

The Case For Climate Rage

August 24, 2019 Amy Westervelt, Popula.com Educate! Climate Change, Environment

I expressed concern recently, on a listserv for climate nerds, over Senator Elizabeth Warren’s military-focused climate plan. It seemed weird to me that one of the first climate policies she’d announce would focus on greening the military; it seemed like a ploy to win over “never Trump” Republicans, centrists and “progressives” who are somehow still pro-military action. I couldn’t understand why someone so famous for holding corporate execs to account wouldn’t burst out the gate with guns blazing at the fossil fuel companies. “I think we need to avoid emotional responses to these policies,” one man sniffed.
