President Of Colombia Calls For International Army To Stop Genocide

September 26, 2025 Alba Cuidad, Orinoco Tribune. Educate! climate crisis, Colombia, Genocide, Gustavo Petro, Palestine, United Nations (UN), US Blockade, US Imperialism, Venezuela

On Tuesday, Colombian President Gustavo Petro condemned the United States’ extraterritorial policy of war and its active military presence in the Caribbean Sea during his participation in the 80th United Nations General Assembly, held in New York, at the headquarters of the UN. He also called for the formation of an international armed force to stop the Gaza genocide that is being committed by the Zionist entity. At the beginning of his speech on Wednesday, September 24, the Colombian president emphasized that US actions in the Caribbean today are making barbarism a global reality. He added that the US is trying to impose on Latin America what has been happening in Gaza for years, amounting to genocide.

Make Trains Great Again For The Sake Of People And The Planet

What if there were a technology that could help to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, air pollution and environmental degradation, while improving health, reducing social inequality and boosting economic growth? There is, and this month it turns 200. The opening of the Stockton and Darlington Railway in northeast England on 27 September 1825 is generally considered to be the birth of the modern railway — an event that set in motion a revolution in human mobility and social organization. Initially, the railways enjoyed breakneck expansion, but since the mid-twentieth century, railway development in most countries has hit the buffers, and been overtaken by growth in road and air travel.

Africa Climate Summit Reflections Part 2: The Youth Are Getting Restless…

September 17, 2025 Anthony Karefa Rogers-Wright, Black Agenda Report. Strategize! Africa, Africa Climate Summit (ACS2), climate crisis, nonprofit industrial complex, Youth Activism

Last week, my piece on the second Africa Climate Summit (ACS2) focused on the specter of a new phase of African neocolonialism, technocrats and cryptocolonizers who used the summit to promote a series of false climate solutions including, but not limited to, rendering the continent into a sink for carbon markets as a well as artificial intelligence technology. Africa, irrefutably, is the continent in possession of the most valuable natural resources in the world from its minerals, forests and biodiversity, to its people, which is why they all continue to be pillaged to fuel the engine of global racial capitalism. That said, Africa’s most precious and valuable resource is its abundance of young people.

Mega-Dryness Spreads Throughout Northern Hemisphere

September 14, 2025 Robert Hunziker, Counter Punch. Educate! climate crisis, Global North, Megadrought, Water

Human-generated climate change, the result of enormous quantities of CO2 spewing into the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels (in 2024, the CO2 annual rate set a new all-time record of 3.75 ppm or an 18,600% increase over natural variability of 0.02 ppm per annum, according to paleoclimate pre-industrial data) causing widespread interconnectivity merging of dry regions of the planet. This is a new feature of global warming. “Our entire infrastructure and civilization are based around a climate that no longer exists.” (John Marsham, professor Atmospheric Science, University of Leeds) Dry areas of the planet are merging into massive mega-dry behemoth regions reflective of how far advanced climate change has progressed, with global warming turning hotter, and hotter, especially 2023-24 when global mean temperature increased by 0.3°C or 10-fold in one year, ushering in a full year of 1.5°C above pre-industrial.

Fundamental Change In The Climate: ‘The World Is Coming Apart Before Our Eyes’

September 9, 2025 Margaret Flowers, Clearing the FOG. Featured Campaign, Podcast - Clearing The FOG Carbon emissions, climate crisis, Extreme weather, Global heating, Oceans, Sea level rise

The situation with respect to the climate crisis is developing rapidly. Each new study seems to bring worse news. In addition, the media is rife with climate denial and misinformation. To help us understand what is happening on this planet, Clearing the FOG speaks with environmental journalist Robert Hunziker. Hunziker follows climate studies published in scientific journals and translates them into a language the average person can understand. He reports that top scientists are saying there has been a fundamental shift in the climate. Rainforests and tundras are now spewing carbon instead of sequestering it, and the oceans have reached their capacity for storing the planet's heat. Cascading weather events are making areas of the world uninhabitable.

Resisting Disaster Capitalism Through Mutual Aid In Puerto Rico

September 9, 2025 Ester Dazzo, Transnational Institute. Create! climate crisis, Extreme weather, Mutual Aid, Puerto Rico

Since 2016, Puerto Rico has faced a complex crisis, when it declared bankruptcy, worsening a fiscal crisis after a decade of recession. In response, Obama signed the PROMESA law, aiming to restructure the debt and enforce fiscal responsibility. It created the Financial Oversight and Management Board (FOMB), a body comprised of seven members appointed by the US President, which can override local laws, blatantly highlighting Puerto Rico's colonial status. In 2017, the Board imposed a ten-year plan of austerity, cutting budgets for healthcare, education, and other vital services. The inability of the government to deal with the economic crisis led to an increase in political distrust.

Left Movements In South Asia Call For Increased Mobilizations

September 6, 2025 Abdul Rahman, People's Dispatch. Resist! climate crisis, Extreme weather, Floods, India, Pakistan, Punjab

Hundreds of people have lost their lives and millions their livelihoods and homes due to persistent flooding in India and Pakistan. The unprecedented rains in the last month have caused the rivers in the northern parts of both countries to flood most of the province of Punjab on either side of the border. Several other areas in both countries have been badly affected by the floods, such as Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) in Pakistan and Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, and Haryana in India. Both countries have deployed their armed forces to evacuate thousands of people trapped in areas submerged in water and to run other forms of relief work, due to ineffective disaster management bodies.

Protesters Violently Removed From Farage Conference Speech

September 6, 2025 The Canary. Resist! climate crisis, Direct Action, Fracking, Nigel Farage, United Kingdom (UK)

Three protestors just interrupted Nigel Farage’s speech at today’s Reform party conference to accuse him of working for his super-rich donors and to demand taxes on the super-rich. “You work for billionaires!” one shouted at Farage, referencing recent donations from property tycoon Nick Candy. Another called him out for being “paid by the super-rich to scapegoat migrants.” Reform is overwhelmingly funded by wealthy donors, and recently received £500,000 from property billionaire Nick Candy. Fossil fuel interests, which made up over 90% of Reform UK donations between 2019 and 2024, have also been linked to Farage’s support for fracking. The protestors are part of Climate Resistance, a group calling for the government to tax the super-rich out of existence and use their extreme wealth to fund public services and climate action.

Scores Of Climate Experts Condemn Trump Climate Report As ‘Junk Science’

September 3, 2025 Sharon Kelly and Emily J. Gertz, DeSmog. Educate! climate crisis, Science Denial, Scientists, Trump Administration

A group of more than 85 climate experts today released a scathing review of the Trump administration’s “Climate Working Group” report on climate change science, condemning it as “biased, full of errors, and not fit to inform policymaking.” The reviewers include MacArthur “Genius” Fellows, a half-dozen members of the National Academy of Sciences, Royal Society fellows, and fellows from other prominent scientific organizations including the American Meteorological Society, which issued its own separate statement criticizing the Climate Working Group report. They found that the federal report “exhibits pervasive problems with misrepresentation and selective citation of the scientific literature, cherry-picking of data, and faulty or absent statistics” in order “to downplay the risks of record-breaking heat, intense rainfall, worsening wildfires, rising sea levels, and widespread health harms – all well-established by decades of peer-reviewed science.”

Antarctica On Alert!

August 31, 2025 Robert Hunziker, Counter Punch. Educate! Antarctica, climate crisis, Environment, Sea level rise

Over the past year, several studies about highly dangerous signals of Antarctica on the edge of major abrupt change have appeared in scholarly publications. These studies in premier publications expose rapid changes, e.g. (1) discovery of the western Antarctic Peninsula as one of the fastest warming places on Earth (2) ocean currents threaten to collapse Antarctic Ice Shelves (3) present day mass loss rates are a precursor for West Antarctic Ice Sheet collapse (4) an unexpected ice collapse hints at worrying changes on the Antarctic coast. The new scientific narrative has scientists very nervous. Abrupt changes have become more common in the climate system, but Antarctica is one region that nobody wants to hear about “abrupt change,” especially with the potential impact nearly impossible to analyze with certainty.

Hurricane Katrina Revealed Why Climate Justice Must Include Right To Free Movement

August 30, 2025 Faye Matthews and Andrei Greenwood, Resilience. Organize! climate crisis, Climate Justice, Extreme weather, Free movement, Hurricane Katrina

August 29, 2005 is a day that lives in infamy in the Gulf South. On that day, Hurricane Katrina slammed onto shore at the Mississippi/Louisiana state line as a powerful and massive hurricane. Twenty years later, it remains the costliest hurricane in U.S. history. For both of us, August 29 was the day that changed everything. The storm forced us to make the heart-wrenching decision to leave our homes, businesses, and families, uncertain if we would return again. Today, that experience shapes the way that we look at and participate in conversations around immigration and the artificiality of borders. We saw in real time what it meant to have the right to remain, to migrate, and to return.

Bioregioning Is Our Future

Lately I’ve been reading Andrew Schelling’s Tracks Along the Left Coast, a biography of linguist, anthropologist, and anarchist Jaime de Angulo (1887-1950). De Angulo was a character worth knowing about. His affluent Spanish parents gave him a civilized upbringing in fashionable Paris; nevertheless, he had a wild streak. So, before he turned 20, de Angulo hightailed it to San Francisco, arriving just in time for the Great Quake of 1906. During the next few years, he earned a medical degree, then worked as a cowboy trekking the California coast. The Native Americans he met fascinated and impressed him. As a way of documenting and preserving their way of life, which he regarded as perfectly adapted to the endlessly varied, stunningly beautiful landscape around him, de Angulo (often collaborating with his linguist wife, Lucy Shepard Freeland) learned and described 25 of the roughly 100 Native languages then spoken in California.

Indigenous Stewardship Is The Ignored Climate Solution

August 27, 2025 Robert Muggah, Intercontinental Cry. Create! Brazil, Canada, climate crisis, Environment, Indigenous Rights, Indigenous Stewardship

As the world stumbles toward climate tipping points, a growing body of scientific evidence suggests that among the most powerful defenders of nature are not satellites or carbon markets, but people – Indigenous peoples. From the rainforests of the Amazon to the boreal forests of Canada, Indigenous stewardship may be one of the most high-impact and cost-effective strategies to mitigate climate change, preserve biodiversity, and disrupt environmental crimes. Indigenous peoples occupy, use, or manage over a quarter of the Earth’s surface, including many of its most ecologically intact regions. These territories often overlap with areas of high carbon density and biodiversity richness.

How Does China’s System Really Work?

Today, I have the pleasure of being joined by the renowned Chinese scholar Zhang Weiwei. He is a professor at the prestigious Fudan University in Shanghai. He has millions of followers on Chinese social media. And we just participated in an academic conference. Professor Zhang, it is nice to meet you. I want to begin asking you about your idea of the “China model”. This is something you have been speaking about for many years, for almost 20 years now. If you look at China’s economic development in recent decades, it’s amazing. The statistics don’t lie.

Climate Change Tests The Wildlife Conservation Model In Namibia

August 24, 2025 Petro Kotze, Resilience. Create! Biodiversity, climate crisis, Conservation, Democracy, Namibia

“I want my children to see a rhino with their own eyes — not only in Etosha [National Park],” says Sofia /Nuas, a member of the Sesfontein Conservancy Committee, located in Namibia’s arid northwest. She’s sitting in the shade of a large sausage tree, yet even on this winter morning temperatures have quickly soared to more than 30° Celsius (86° Fahrenheit). Life in this hot and dry region is already tough, but climate change will intensify it. With a population of less than 3,000, Sesfontein is a small settlement located in the Northwestern Escarpment and Inselbergs of the Nama Karoo Biome. Cattle and goats meander across dusty roads, but tourists are also drawn to the desert-like outpost for its enigmatic landscapes and a chance to glimpse some of the world’s last free-roaming, critically endangered black rhinos (Diceros bicornis), as well as Namibia’s famed desert-adapted lions (Panthera leo) and African savanna elephants (Loxodonta africana).
