Right-wing think tanks that deny climate change is even happening are advocating climate engineering to fix it. Don't listen to them. Full text of article by Clive Hamilton at link. IN 1892 Edvard Munch witnessed a blood-red sunset over Oslo, Norway. Shaken by it, he wrote in his diary that he felt "a great, unending scream piercing through nature". The incident inspired him to create his most famous painting, The Scream. The striking sunset was probably caused by the eruption of Krakatoa, which sent a massive plume of ash and gas into the upper atmosphere, turning sunsets red around the globe and cooling the Earth by more than a degree. Now a powerful group of scientists, venture capitalists and conservative think tanks is coalescing around the idea of reproducing this cooling effect by injecting sulphur dioxide into the stratosphere to counter climate change. Despite the enormity of what is being proposed - nothing less than seizing control of the climate - the public has been almost entirely excluded from the planning. read full story / add a comment

Dear Prime Minister Cowen, Over the course of the past three (3) years, I've written you, Mr. Gormley, the members of Dáil Éireann, the Meath County Council, archaeologists at NUI Galway, UC Dublin, UC Cork, The Heritage Council, The Discovery Programme and the OPW on numerous occasions regarding my research paper, 'Orthostat, the Mound of the Hostages'. http://www.knowth.com/tara-pdf.htm The purpose for doing so was to convince The Heritage Council, The Discovery Programme & OPW to complete the geo-physical mapping of Tara, which I have no doubt will confirm the hypothesis set forth in my paper, that the symbols carved on Orthostat L2 within the Mound of the Hostages, constitute a map of the Hill of Tara, as it existed during the Neolithic Age. ( ca. 3200 BC) The response I received from The Discovery Programme was that "no one here is compet read full story / add a comment

For Immediate Publication. Two suicide bombings outside a mosque in Zahedan on Thursday 15 July 2010 have left scores dead and hundreds wounded. As well as the two suicide bombers and members of the Pasdaran Army, casualties included many ordinary people. The bombings have led to fears among the people and have allowed the Islamic regime to step up its militarisation of the city and of the whole region. The group Jundullah has claimed responsibility, publishing photos of two young people said to be the bombers. The group said the bombings were in retaliation for the recent execution of the group’s leader Abdolmalek Rigi, as well as in support of the “Sunni people”. read full story / add a comment

A hypnotic thriller, 'Different from the Others' is also a remarkable historical document. The flourishing of art and activism in Germany in the early years of the twentieth century came to a dramatic close in 1933, when the Nazi regime began to systematically destroy books, artworks, and films they considered too provocative or ‘decadent’. This extraordinary film miraculously survived, in a damaged copy which was discovered in 1979, and restored with the help of stills. 'Different from the Others' is a landmark in gay/human rights filmmaking, and this is a rare opportunity to watch it on the screen. read full story / add a comment

NIPSA (Northern Ireland Public Service Alliance), the largest public service trade union in the North has responded to the Draft Bill on Public Assemblies saying that, rather than give the impression that the Bill is redeemable through detailing all their objections to it, they would rather see it scrapped: The draft proposal is "fundamentally flawed and not capable of amendment." read full story / add a comment |
