I have been writing letters to the editor for a long time in a desperate hope to change the direction of the evangelical Christian church as it relates to politics. It is difficult to express how hard it is to not be heard. In truth, this is why social media is such a popular thing.... Continue Reading →
Climate change is the result of a deadly calculus: human lives are worth risking and even losing over the profits of global corporations. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) recently dropped a bombshell announcement that should have garnered news headlines in the major global and U.S. media, but did not. New WMO research concludes that “[t]here... Continue Reading →
‘We know where we are headed’: humanity is sacrificing itself on the altar of corporate profits
A new United Nations report released Wednesday shows farming, mining, and logging has marred more than half of the planet. In a portrait of land degradation across the globe, the report describes entire forests razed for timber or pasture; sensitive grasslands and wetlands lost to sprawling cities; and over-exploited lands that have dried up into...

United Nations warns that humanity has ‘degraded’ 40 percent of Earth’s land
He’s our very own emperor from hell, an updated version of Nero who, in legend, burned down Rome on a whim, though ours prefers drowning Washington. Why, just the other day, Donald Trump — and you knew perfectly well who I meant — bent the ears of 250 top Republican donors for 84 minutes. Among... Continue Reading →
Humans have become ‘Armageddon-makers’ who are ‘gearing up’ to destroy Earth
If you want to trigger a conservative, just suggest nationalizing the US gas and oil industry. “Venezuela!” they’ll scream hysterically, perhaps adding a few, “Iran!” squeals. (Somehow, they always forget to yell about Norway…) Within minutes they’ll be croaking about that time back in 2008 when Maxine Waters — a Black woman with power and... Continue Reading →
‘It’s about saving the world’: Thom Hartmann calls on POTUS to ‘nationalize the fossil fuel industry’

‘We’re approaching the most dangerous point in human history’: Noam Chomsky on climate change and nuclear war
The U.S. House Oversight and Reform Committee kicked off its investigation of the fossil fuel industry’s decades-long climate change disinformation campaign last fall by inviting top executives from BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil and Shell to testify about their role and subpoenaing their companies for internal documents.

Charles Koch must be held accountable for his climate disinformation campaign
Satellite imagery showing the recent "complete collapse" of the Conger Ice Shelf in East Antarctica sparked fresh alarm over the climate emergency on Friday. "While humans are killing humans, and governments are spending on weaponry as if there is no tomorrow, the environment is collapsing—so that there will be no tomorrow," said former Greek finance...

‘The environment is collapsing’: an ice shelf the size of Los Angeles just broke off of Antarctica
"The 1.5-degree goal is on life support. It is in intensive care." So said United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres on Monday, as he stressed that a swift and just transition to clean energy is necessary to meet the Paris agreement's objective of limiting global temperature rise to 1.5°C above preindustrial levels—and warned against using Russia's...

Goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees ‘on life support’: UN chief
Consider this perhaps the strangest thing of all in our all-too-strange world: the greatest crisis humanity has ever faced essentially never leads the news. Yes, the immediate crises of our world, most recently Vladimir Putin’s disastrous invasion of Ukraine, are 24/7 headlines for weeks at a time. And any set of events that sends millions...

Billions of people at risk as climate change surges into ‘uncharted territory’
Right-wing pastor attributes climate science to Satan and blames environmentalists for Ukraine invasion
Right-wing pastor Andrew Wommack is no stranger to making boneheaded comments about climate change. A full-fledged denialist, Wommack has claimed that human beings lack the power to influence Earth's climatic systems, which he believes are regulated by a supreme being. On Thursday, Wommack, a Truth & Liberty Coalition founder, upped his game in a one-two... Continue Reading →
