    Climate research strike? Linking up environmental science with the ‘science of society’

    Originally published: Peoples World on March 16, 2022 (more by Peoples World)

    Hundreds of IPCC scientists provide the United Nations periodically with reports on adverse impacts of climate change.

    U.S. government pays big money for bad news about Cuba

    Originally published: Peoples World on January 25, 2022 (more by Peoples World)

    The cruder U.S. methods for destroying Cuba’s revolutionary government—military attacks, bombings of hotels and a fully-loaded airplane, violent attacks on officials, biological warfare—did not work. Nor has economic blockade, which of course continues. A more subtle approach also exists. Like the blockade, its purpose is to cause despair and then dissent.

    Green Strategy: To beat climate change, humanity needs socialism

    Originally published: Peoples World on November 14, 2019 (more by Peoples World)

    It’s bad enough to imagine blame and scenarios of dread, as if from science fiction, but add in the presently feeble response to dire threats and we’re in a funk. If tools were available, we’d get a lift. Marc Brodine’s book Green Strategy, reviewed here, is about tools.
