QUELLING DISSENT: : How The Big Greens Contain & Dissolve Resistance
Society & Culture
John - 5 days ago - groundworkforpraxis.com
The incessant pursuit of the luxuries of modernity has reduced the earth and Indigenous peoples worldwide to being viewed as commodities that exist simply to provide "resources" for civil society.
Groundwork for Praxis [GFP] seeks to challenge the academic world which is held up as the primary site for higher education and works to foreground self determination for Native, Black and other migrant/diasporic/settler communities of color. As a collective we aim to build critical connections such as those between ongoing colonization and genocide of Native and Black communities, and how this relates to police violence, border imperialism, mass incarceration, militarism, and other violent forms of white supremacy and hetero-patriarchy that target non-white communities today.
Groundwork for Praxis examines the nuanced ways that larger structures and forces work together to reinforce institutionalized forms of oppression, which in turn ensure the continued commodification and destruction of the earth. This is part of a cyclic process– that in itself is a self-replicating system/structure– in which all of these systems of oppression inform and sustain one another.

The worst part of 'nuclear power' is not foreseeable risks...but sabotaged designs.
Part V: From the United States Offering Iran Uranium Enrichment Technology to Suggestions for Creating Catastrophic Industrial Failure http://www.payvand.com/news/04/dec/1186.html
Fukushima was part of a series of reactors funded by the World Bank. Both GE design engineers and construction contractor engineers quit over concerns for the storage of 'spent' fuel in an earthquake zone. US reactor designs are those for nuclear submarines. Siting - even and especially in the USA - is insane except if as designed destruction and catastrophe.

The crazy part is that climate change is inevitable - and natural. The IPCC can flog global carbon tax ( taxing the use of fire ! ) administrated by itself as much as it likes - and pay scientists to do research where results are fudged and parameters do not include reasonable possibilities or allow for limitations in both data and knowledge of process - for instance a recent article in Science Digest noted that CO 2 does not break down merely under photosynthesis - and a warmer world is associated with increased plant growth and more of that activity - but actually breaks down without intervention in the upper atmosphere.
Fraud is a proven result of such activity.
But the real stupidity is this : they want to represent that they can reliably predict the future - scientifically. :) Whatever happened to falsification ?The Last Gasp of Climate Change Liberals
"some of the groups backing the march are little more than corporate fronts." We need to highlight the fact that the United Nations has sold out to corporate interests.
The fossil fuel industry and corporations, from ExxonMobil to Koch Industries, underwrite political campaigns and author our legislation. They have stacked the courts with their judges and the airwaves with their apologists. They fund our scientific research and have effectively silenced dissidents. This corporate reach extends to the United Nations. Companies set up exhibition halls at U.N. climate summits promoting various corporate schemes to profit from the climate crisis, from “clean” coal and biofuel to nuclear power and carbon trading. Those who attempt to offer a counter narrative, especially after the disruptions at the climate summit in Copenhagen in 2009, are swiftly silenced by U.N. security.

An Honest Climate Debate
More than 50 Australian academics have signed a letter urging the university to cancel the speech on the basis that Lord Monckton ”stands for the kind of ignorance and superstition that universities have a duty to counter”.Minchin: What first made you suspect the “climate change” research of recent decades was skewed?Monckton: The CEO of a boutique finance house in the City of London asked me to have a look at “global warming” because his analysts could not decide whether it was real or not. I first realized something was wrong when I wanted to find out how to convert radiative forcings in Watts per square meter to temperature in Kelvin, but not once in 1,000 pages did the IPCC’s 2001 science assessment report reveal the existence of the Stefan-Boltzmann radiative-transfer equation, without which one cannot even begin the calculation. So obscurantist was the IPCC’s methodology for determining climate sensitivity that it took me two years to research the underlying equations, some of which I had to derive for myself. A scientific establishment that was confident of its results would have explained the matter clearly and concisely.
Do not dare disagree with us!
