"Have you read Ishmael or My Ishmael by him?! Even...
cultureofresistance:
I’ve read Ishmael and he is one of my favorite authors that dispel the myths of the dominant culture or “The Takers” as he calls us civilized humans that benefit from the destruction of the natural world in order to sustain a lifestyle of decimation of the natural world. I’m talking literal decimation - 90% of the large fish in the ocean are gone.
Great author.

No, the EPA is not trying to regulate dust. →
motherjones:
Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain is worried that the EPA is going to regulate farm dust. So worried, in fact, that he pledged to eliminate the EPA during Thursday’s presidential debate. But maybe he should do some more research: It turns out, the EPA is actually doing nothing of the sort.

Scientists warned that, left unchecked, the phenomenon could lead to millions of dollars in medical costs, the AP reports. The...

cultureofresistance:
The technologies for “climate intervention”(aka, geoengineering) fall into two broad categories: Carbon sequestration and solar radiation management. Ocean fertilization falls into the former. The idea is to dump iron particles into ocean waters to stimulate plankton blooms. The plankton absorb CO2, and when they die, (hopefully) carry their carbon to the ocean floor to...
