Climate Change

The world can still hope to stave off the worst ravages of climate breakdown but only through a “now or never” dash to a low-carbon economy.

The biggest obstacles, a recent U.N. climate report noted, are national leaders who are unwilling to regulate fossil fuel corporations, reduce greenhouse gas emissions or plan for renewable energy production.

The only realistic course is to protect the electoral process despite all its flaws, ensure universal voting rights, and push harder than ever to make this country what it has never been: a multiracial, pluralistic democracy.

Climate change is the result of a deadly calculus: human lives are worth risking and even losing over the profits of global corporations.

Here are a few suggestions that would have a positive impact on a climate catastrophe which currently exceeds even the worst predictions of our present models.

Combating climate change is not cheap. Action by both government and the private sector will slow global warming, preventing increasingly devastating disasters.

This grid would solve solar energy's chief problem — its extreme variation from day to night, summer to winter, and good weather to bad weather.

The debate over climate change is over. However, entrenched interests are fighting harder than ever to hamper the climate movement.

Our institutions have failed us in ways large and small, but we now face the possibility of a much broader systemic breakdown.

Logging greatly impacts water quality, and the rate and scale in the US is the majority of the water quality problem; yet very little has been done about it.

We take action because fire, drought and heat — fueled by the climate crisis — are already taking their toll on Californians. We’re taking back what’s owed.

Hydrogen fusion is the only green energy that might completely free the U.S. from dependence on other countries.

We know how to nationalize industries and have done it before. This time it’s not just about saving our banks or fighting a war. It’s about saving the world.

Nube is wary of the fascist movements but he is hopeful that more will embrace a just transition and will decide to do the necessary work to change society.

Not only does hydroelectric power fail to prevent catastrophic climate change, but it also renders countries more vulnerable to climate change while emitting significant amounts of methane, one of the worst greenhouse gases.

Climate scientists have been either silenced or replaced by an army of economists and politicians mostly ignorant of the physics and chemistry of the atmosphere, but quantifying the cost-benefit economies of mitigation like corner shop grocers.

Just 1/6th of the global military budget would kill hunger on the planet. To know more about how global militarism remains our primary national purpose, read here!

In the United States, the Biden Administration, although pledged to climate action, auctions off petroleum drilling rights , both offshore and in the Arctic.
