Why Aren’t American Streets Filled with Climate Protestors?

BY CHLOE ATKINSON Image by Markus Spiske. Why are America’s streets devoid of climate protesters? The internet was set ablaze by a viral video featuring a German woman forcefully removing a climate change protester from the road by grabbing her hair. This incident has garnered significant attention, highlighting the ongoing activism by protesters throughout Europe who are vehemently opposing governmental endorsement of oil drilling practices that activists argue should be halted to combat climate change. Climate change protesters in Europe have been actively raising awareness and demanding urgent action from governments and corporations to address the escalating climate crisis. These protesters are part of a global movement that has gained significant momentum in recent years. W...

Letter from London: Depth of Field

BY PETER BACH “The king is gone, but he’s not forgotten.” Neil Young, Farm Aid, 1985. ACTION! Not so long ago, I was writing from London about making a shift from film to words again. I was adamant about it. Of course, no sooner had this idea solidified in my head, for what that is worth, when I started thinking about film again. It was both a pragmatic thought and one in the context of lesser known conflict zones. The desire, once again, to make a kind of contribution must still run deep. Inevitably, I began checking the latest kit. Everything technical outdates itself so fast these days, which is why robots get interviewed at press conferences in Geneva these days. (‘I’m not sure why you would think that,’ flashed one of them back to a journalist who had just asked ...

The Cost of Re-Enforcing Political Monocultures

BY RALPH NADER Photograph Source: Backbone Campaign – CC BY 2.0 In nature, monocultures are not so resilient to predators or other ravages that exploit their inherent vulnerabilities. Farmers have known this characteristic of monocultures forever. (Agribusiness doesn’t care as much, given its short-term profit outlook.) Democratic voters are at risk from the increasing political monocultures that are weakening resistance to the GOP and Big Business demands. There are four such groups that are exhibiting similar monoculture symptoms of deteriorating power. 1. The Democratic Party itself is led by pathetic sinecurists controlling its formal national, state, and local Party structures. At the top is the PAC-greased Democratic National Committee (DNC) whose chief strat...

The Eco Collapse We Were Warned About Has Begun

BY JOSÉ SEOANE Photograph by Nathaniel St. Clair In 2023, different climatic anomalies have been recorded that set new historical records in the tragic progression of climate change at the global level. Thus, in June, the surface temperature in the North Atlantic reached the maximum increase of 1.3 degrees Celsius with respect to preindustrial values. In a similar direction—although in lower values—the average temperature of the seas at the global level increased. On the other hand, the retraction of Antarctic ice reached a new limit, reaching the historical decrease of 2016, but several months earlier in the middle of the cold season. The combination of these records has led scientists who follow these processes to warn of the danger of a profound change in the currents t...

The Left Goes Nuclear

BY DAN BOSCOV-ELLEN Image by Frédéric Paulussen. Debates on the ecosocialist left are raging, from advocates of degrowth to a new crop of ecomodernists. Many in this latter camp have begun to push nuclear power as a potential alternative to fossil fuels that would help us avoid climate catastrophe. But as Joshua Frank explains to Spectre’s Dan Boscov-Ellen, nuclear remains a false solution with disastrous consequences. Ecosocialists and nuclear, he insists, belong nowhere near each other. Joshua Frank is the managing editor at CounterPunch. He is an investigative journalist and author of the recent award-winning book Atomic Days: The Untold Story of the Most Toxic Place in America (Haymarket, 2022). Thank you for speaking with me tod...

Failed Fukushima System Should Cancel Wastewater Ocean Dumping

BY JOHN LAFORGE Image by Fukushima Central Television. From the Fukushima-Daiichi triple-reactor meltdown wreckage, Japan’s government and “Tepco,” the owner, are rushing plans to pump 1.37 million tons (about 3 billion pounds) of radioactive wastewater into the Pacific. Their record is poor. Their lies are documented. This is not safe, at all. To keep the three meltdowns’ wasted fuel from melting again, Tepco continuously pours cold water over 880 tons of “corium,” the red-hot rubblized fuel amassed somewhere under three devastated reactors. “That water leaks into a maze of basements and trenches beneath the reactors and mixes with groundwater flowing into the complex,” Reuters reported Sep. 3, 2013. Most of this water is collected and put through Tepco’s jer...

How Book-Banning Campaigns Have Changed the Lives and Education of Librarians

BY NICOLE A. COOKE Despite misconceptions and stereotypes – ranging from what librarians Gretchen Keer and Andrew Carlos have described as the “middle-aged, bun-wearing, comfortably shod, shushing librarian” to the “sexy librarian … and the hipster or tattooed librarian” – library professionals are more than book jockeys, and they do more than read at story time. They are experts in classification, pedagogy, data science, social media, disinformation, health sciences, music, art, media literacy and, yes, storytelling. And right now, librarians are taking on an old role. They are defending the rights of readers and writers in the battles raging across the U.S. over censorship, book challenges and book bans. Book challenges are an attempt to rem...

A Grain Airlift for Ukraine

BY MELVIN GOODMAN Photograph Source: kallerna – CC BY-SA 4.0 Implementing a grain airlift for Ukraine would be the obvious way to celebrate the 75th anniversary year of the Berlin Airlift, which was conducted from June 1948 to September 1949. Just as the success of the Berlin airlift was an embarrassment to the Soviet Union, a successful grain airlift would be embarrassing to the Russian leadership. U.S. and British air forces flew over Berlin more than 250,000 times, dropping necessities such as fuel and food. In the 15-month period of the airlift, over two million tons were delivered, primarily coal, with one plane reaching Berlin every 30 seconds at the height of the airlift. The Russian blockade of Ukraine and the bombing of key infrastructure in the port...
