There is plenty of blame to go around for the looming climate catastrophe: governments that don’t act, voters who don’t hold them accountable, and consumers who make choices every day that imperil the future of humanity.

L’« affaire Moix » offre une nouvelle occasion de mesurer la rectitude et l’indépendance qui règnent dans le landerneau médiatico-culturel. Dans le grand monde des petites vertus littéraires, comment quelqu’un dont les abjections sont à ce point avérées et durables peut-il continuer de se répandre si fréquemment dans les médias, plus encore, même, qu’avant la divulgation de ses écrits et dessins racistes et antisémites ?

Everybody knows Aesop’s fable of “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” — the story of a young shepherd who repeatedly pretends his flock is being attacked by wolves to play a prank on his neighbors. Then, when a wolf actually does show up, nobody believes him — and his sheep are eaten.

As six-year-old Oz bashfully listed the things he identified as threats to the environment, such as plastic water bottles, bad people and rising temperatures, he stopped to exclaim, “Talking about heat, it’s burning [hot] out,” while trying to wipe his long black hair off his sweaty forehead, holding up a canvas sign decorated with felt and

Many people are accusing the US government of doing nothing on climate change. That could not be more wrong. Every day, this administration is taking new steps to muffle scientists, shirk responsibility, deny evidence, shut down research, and undermine international efforts to fight this problem. 

So it’s simply incorrect to accuse the US of doing nothing. In reality, it is much worse. 

As winter looms, you may not be giving much thought to how we are affected by hot weather, especially if you live in the northern hemisphere — but the heat will be back, and with a vengeance.

How will it affect your health? Look at what has been happening to people who live in hot countries — which are becoming hotter. They are the climate change canaries in the mine. And they are dying, at least partly because of the extreme heat.

C’est le cinquième mois de 2019 au cours duquel les plus grandes sociétés cotées en bourse ont vendu plus de 10 milliards de dollars en actions. Cela ne s’est produit que deux fois : en 2006 et en 2007, juste avant le krach de 2008.

Jury reverses decision after anti-Palestinian website smears novelist.

When he was running for Kansas governor, conservative firebrand Kris Kobach was making some money on the side in Nebraska. And he even took his job a step further — by reporting local residents to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Kobach had been on the payroll of the city of Fremont, NE, to help them draft an ordinance to ban landlords from renting apartments to undocumented aliens.

The legendary “Angry Arab” joins us for a wide-ranging discussion.

Chennai, India’s sixth-largest city, is running out of water. The parched Chembarambakkam reservoir, plus three others supplying the city, are all nearly empty. Currently, water is being trucked into the city’s neighborhoods; and standing in line is becoming part of each resident’s daily routine.

Before Flint’s Water Crisis, One Man Warned That ‘People Are Gonna Die’ (Mili)

Extreme ruling “undermines the most basic principles of universal humanity,” rights group says.

L'avenir devient incertain pour tout être qui a du mal à aller plus loin, à changer son destin, ou à le confier à une bonne main.

L'algérien le ressent chaque matin, parce qu'il y a toujours quelqu'un pour lui sortir le même refrain :

Avec quels moyens? Et pour quelle fin?

Vas-tu te battre au lieu d'aboyer avec les chiens qui finissent toujours par céder à l'appel de leur maître: le besoin.

HONG KONG — The busy rush hour in Shenzhen, a new city of some 20 million people in Guangdong Province, is almost silent. Commuters whisper past on electric bikes and scooters or board one of Shenzhen’s fleet of electric buses and taxis, all part of the city’s pool of 90,000 new energy-efficient vehicles.

Le mois d’août 2019 a été marqué par la 2e plus grosse anomalie des relevés de la NASA remontant à 1880. Cela conclut la période juin-juillet-août la plus chaude de l’histoire instrumentale, devant 2016.

Amnesty says killing of woman who posed no immediate threat may be unlawful.

Ismail Ziada is seeking justice for Israel’s 2014 killing of his family.

Netanyahu’s bigotry drove Palestinian citizens of Israel to the polls.

Quick: How many of each type of animal did Moses bring on the ark?

Your response might well be “two.” But if you slowed down a moment, you would realize that it was a trick question. Of course, it was not Moses at all in the Bible’s Genesis flood narrative. It was Noah.

Joan Ryan will not contest next general election.

In recent years, both the US and Europe have faced what seems like a never-ending flood of refugees; the US from Mexico and Latin America, and Europe from North Africa and the Middle East. The affected countries trying to absorb this flood of refugees have considered this uncontrolled influx something approaching national emergencies.

If the hot air coming out of politicians’ mouths contributed toward climate change, the planet would be warming at an even more alarming rate.

The quotes below not only demonstrate astounding ignorance, they also illustrate why humanity is in so much trouble.

An underappreciated aspect of the climate change debate is the glaring cognitive dissonance in the brains of people who deny human-caused global warming. These are, for the most part, the same people who say the marketplace is the solution to every problem and the pricing mechanism the source of all insight.
