Just did my 2nd or 3rd read of the article - footnotes: damn, I miss Howard Zinn.  On disaster as motivation: the people will want it, but will the government(s)?   Australia just  said that the U.S. can post many hundreds/coup...

One of the standard conservative smacks on radicals back in the day was that  "they'd complain about the weather"---- the point of course being that we are just a bunch of carpers looking for something to whine about.  W...

Over the past couple of decades, I have experienced and observed (and it's been confirmed in ways I shall mention) that pollen seasons, particularly Spring pollen, is a longer season and stronger maximum pollen peaks.  I have allergic ast...

Howard, I think you decided early that the article is too long and didn't bother reading it. I find it very informative and a brilliant synthesis. Why catching on to Academy Award's hybrids/limos? That only served as a metaphore for the ge...

Apart from the length of the article that goes on forever once again Naomi Klein writes on and on about climate and solutions while avoiding and failing to know or mention the solutions. I have the knowledge and the movement issue to make those Ac...

What a remarkable and helpful synthesis!  Naomi Klein is putting things together in a way only she can do and she deserves huge thanks for this essay: it will be essential reading for the struggle ahead.  I do have one concern which I th...

An excellent article, but the insights aren't new.  Interested readers should take a look at How the Rich are Destroying the Earth, by Herve Kempf.  But I'm not implying there should be any kind of competition here.  The mor...

Jimmy Carter is constantly laughed at and ridiculed by right wing America and Alabama rednecks, who are about as stupid and hateful toward blacks as you can get.  However, he was the ONLY President to recognize Global warming as the supreme t...

First of all while it is true that China does have an expanding solar sectors one can hardly site the world's most polluted country run by a brutal dictatorship as a some kind of example. Secondly NC is wrong to site France the French Republic...

Well, it seems to me that if you are talking about the inherent nature of people, their "innate" psychology rather than their culture (of which media lies form a part), then while it might be worth figuring out what it is about people th...

I don't think Chomsky is saying the propaganda system is everything when considering the responsibilities and opinions of people in general, or he would have difficulty explaining himself and his position, and that of many like-minded people. ...

Mr. Keller wrote," but so what?"   The environment is where we live. If we destroy it, live can't exsist. Hope I understood the statement surrounding the above statement.

We're the (extra/huge) volcano now. Tim Flannery, a climate-change adviser to the Australian Government, has said that gaseous carbon compounds in the atmosphere take 1000 years to cycle through it. Thus, today's (collective) exhalation is h...

I greatly respect and admire Noam Chomsky, however, he seems to have a blind spot concerning citizen culpability in all of this. Sure, the American people have been lied to and propagandized by the corporate media, but so what? Why would anyone...

As usual, Noam speaks with honesty and clarity, and as usual, although what he says is in some ways frightening--survival of the species, the utter callousness of much of the political elite, the rich getting richer at great cost to the majority--...

Increasingly publishers control both cover design and titles, often not even asking for author input. That is the trend of the mostly sad times we live in. Unfortunately authors' only revenge against an industry that increasi...
