War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Yesterday, all US peoples — with the exception of peoples in Hawaii or Arizona, and maybe some parts of Indiana — lived through another piece of worthless tradition that really doesn’t do anything other than aggravate. Mankind has been living via daylight since forever, up at sunrise, down at sunset and work like a mad…
Take heart everybody, the situation is actually worse than we think, so there’s no need to panic…yet. Yesterday, there were a couple of ‘monster‘ reports — one in climate science, the other in economics — that explained in detail why both our environment and our state-of-living is in bad shape, and why the US and…
Life ain’t so pretty no more. One Canadian’s view of nowadays: Future generations could find themselves dealing with serious catastrophes: the highly disruptive consequences of climate change; disruptions in the food chain due to ecological destruction; nuclear war (still a serious risk, even if it has faded from the public consciousness); massively destructive accidents (like…
One of the scary parts of climate change — and there’s a shitload of scary parts — is the unknown, stuff beyond what the science can reveal, or even if some particular action actually does more harm than good. No matter what all the experts say, the planet earth and all its now-7 billion inhabitants…
One real scary moment for Halloween is the overcrowding mob on hand for the party — the UN claims the population of the earth will top 7 billion on Monday, embellishing a smorgasbord of dangerous problems already facing a beleaguered planet. Despite a prognosis to the contrary: Max Singer, founder of the Hudson Institute, warned…
In recent history, one has learned to not trust a lot of information from any US government agency with a hidden/or not-so-hidden agenda — recent example is the State Department’s okay of the horrendous Keystone XL pipeline, claiming the 1,711-mile tube slated to carry peanut-butter-like toxic slop through the gut of middle America “would have…
Another nasty package on the highly-movable climate-change-train as a new study (once again) signals earth is moving beyond heat — revealing the crazy Russian heat wave last year most-likely wouldn’t have happened without global warming. Abstract from the research posted at PNAS: We estimate that climatic warming has increased the number of new global-mean temperature…
The MSM in the US has gotten worse and worse — the whole outfit wasn’t pretty to begin with and the ugly is getting worse — and CBS News should know better. A whole shitload of people don’t deserve any kind of forum, much less on national TV. On Sunday, nit-twits appeared all over the…
Yesterday, I put another $20 worth of gas in the old Jeep with local pump prices still the same as its been the last couple of months — $3.99 a gallon for regular. Still high, but steady, though, horrifying for some US peoples, who will spend a record $490 billion on gas by year’s end…
Still kicking, one of the most wonderous of public movements has recharged and re-directed even asshole Republicans, but Occupy Wall Street should hopefully turn its intense focus to the dreadnaught of humanity — climate change. Robert Reich on Wednesday: “I mean the mere fact that we have this occupation of Wall Street movement that is…
