Earth's Systems In Rapid Decline
By Stephen Leahy
http://www.countercurrents.org/leahy050811.htm
Protecting bits of nature here and there will not prevent humanity from losing our life support system. Even if areas dedicated to conserving plants, animals, and other species that provide Earth's life support system increased tenfold, it would not be enough without dealing with the big issues of the 21st century: population, overconsumption and inefficient resource use. Without dealing with those big issues, humanity will need 27 planet Earths by 2050, a new study estimates
Probing The Role Of The Sun
In An Era Of Global Warming
By Michael D. Lemonick
http://www.countercurrents.org/lemonick050811.htm
Some skeptics have suggested the real culprit behind rising temperatures is increased solar activity. But a wide variety of data and experiments still provide no solid evidence to refute the scientific consensus that greenhouse gas emissions are the major reason the planet is heating up
Volcanic vs. Anthropogenic CO2
By Terry Gerlach
http://www.countercurrents.org/gerlach050811.htm
Annual anthropogenic CO2 emissions exceed annual volcanic CO2 by two orders of magnitude, and probably exceed the CO2 output of one or more super-eruptions. Thus there is no scientific basis for using volcanic CO2 emissions as an excuse for failing to manage humanity's carbon footprint
What Are The Internet's Dependencies?
By Barath Raghavan
http://www.countercurrents.org/raghavan050811.htm
In my last post, I looked at the Internet's energy use, broadly construed, and contended that we might offload other societal functions onto the Internet. In this post I'd like to consider in what ways that might be an unwise approach given the dependencies of the Internet
Salvaging Science
By John Michael Greer
http://www.countercurrents.org/greer050811.htm
The spiralling economic contraction we can expect as the impact of peak oil grows stronger poses a particularly sharp challenge to the institutions of modern science, which are already facing budget cuts and a widening loss of social influence and prestige. In a future where pumping money into research projects simply won't be an option any more, the survival of the scientific method as a way of solving problems is arguably up for grabs -- but there are options for salvaging it
The Peak Oil Crisis: Parsing The GDP
By Tom Whipple
http://www.countercurrents.org/whipple050811.htm
Lost in the furor over the debt crisis last week came the news that the U.S. economy expanded at an annual rate of only 0.4 percent in the first quarter and 1.3 percent in the second. As these numbers were well below what economists were expecting, the revelation that the US was not coming out of the "great recession" was quite a shock for those who have not been paying attention
A Secret War In 120 Countries
By Nick Turse
http://www.countercurrents.org/turse050811.htm
Somewhere on this planet an American commando is carrying out a mission. Now, say that 70 times and you're done... for the day. Without the knowledge of the American public, a secret force within the U.S. military is undertaking operations in a majority of the world's countries. This new Pentagon power elite is waging a global war whose size and scope has never been revealed, until now
Competing Narratives In Syria:
Between Tired Slogans And A Looming Dawn
By Ramzy Baroud
http://www.countercurrents.org/baroud050811.htm
There is only one way to read the future of Syria. The Syrian people deserve a new dawn of freedom, equality, social justice, free from empty slogans, self-serving elites and corrupt criminals. Syria and its courageous people deserve better. Much better
An Island Of Food In Africa's Horn Of Hunger
By Thomas C. Mountain
http://www.countercurrents.org/mountain050811.htm
The Horn of Africa may be the Horn of Hunger for millions but in the midst of all the drought, starvation and suffering there lives and grows an island of food security, little Eritrea and its five million people
The Rich Take The Gold And We Get The Shaft
By Ron Forthofer
http://www.countercurrents.org/forthofer050811.htm
The media circus about the latest insanity from inside the Washington Beltway is finally over. Unfortunately, this latest and totally unnecessary political theater over the debt ceiling means that life will become harsher for most of us, particularly for those barely getting by now
Us Against Them
By Vincent L. Guarisco
http://www.countercurrents.org/guarisco050811.htm
Are you tired of government hypocrisy and a lapdog media that eagerly provides damage control and disinformation? Well, a battle is being waged and the stakes are extremely high
Kashmiryat: Religion Or Class?
By Inshah Malik
http://www.countercurrents.org/malik050811.htm
The author argues that the fabrics of the Kashmiryat in discourse stand on caste, class and not religion
