Skeptics

While Australia sizzles, much of Europe, North America, China and Asia has been subjected to snowstorms and freezing weather disrupting trade and transport with climate deniers chortling that global cooling is here.

Good people, please understand that climate change is a natural cyclical pattern of a living breathing Earth. The planet warms and cools according to her own cycles, and currently she is coming into her water cycle. We indigenous peoples know this, have always known this, and are not afraid of her movements.

The Evening Standard's recent run-in with the press complaints commission (which can be viewed here http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2008/03/394299.html ), which regarded last years Climate Action Camp near Heathrow Airport, seems to have resulted in a remarkable volte-face with regards to climate activism. These photographs where taken of billboards around London on Fossil Fools day.

"I used to worry for my grandchildren. Now there is a fairly high probability that I will experience the more severe effects of climate change at first hand."

Carta de las Visitadoras al comisario Maigret

Carlos Ortiz de Zárate

Grupo de Estudios Comparados Euroafricanos y Euro latinoamericanos

Las Visitadoras de Vargas Llosa explican al comisario Maigret que el pasado de las mismas acredita la competencia de éstas para lograr avances en las estrategias del grupo que coordina la señora Maigret para combatir la conspiración de los medios de comunicación para trastocar los conceptos de “ciudadano”, de “Estado Nación” y de organización multilateral en la actualidad.

Estimado comisario Maigret; perdone nuestra intromisión en los debates http://www.webs.ulpgc.es/agora/comAsig1.htm y http://www.webs.ulpgc.es/agora/comAsig2.htm aunque aún ninguno de los participantes en los mismos ha mostrado ningún interés por redimirnos, incluido el santo al que pensábamos poder invocar: http://dc.indymedia.org/newswire/display/133498/index.php

MEXICO CITY, Oct 3 (IPS/IFEJ) - Just 3.1 percent of Latin America's electricity comes from nuclear sources, but if expansion plans in Argentina, Brazil and Mexico succeed, that proportion could more than double in a decade -- much to the annoyance of environmentalists.

Carried by the global wave towards nuclear energy being driven by high petroleum prices, Brazil is proposing construction of the country's third reactor, while Argentina and Mexico will go from two to four nuclear energy plants each.

Brazil, one of the nine countries worldwide that enriches uranium -- the essential input for nuclear energy -- is trying to make expanded production viable. And Argentina is picking up enrichment efforts begun in the 1980s, but halted in 1992.

Part 1 of 2: Pat Michaels, Virginia "State Climatologist"? A critical perspective on the issues

The Washington Post ran an article on September 17 on the controversy
over whether Pat Michaels, long-time voice of the global warming
denial machine, was entitled to continue to identify himself as the
Virginia State Climatologist. Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine doesn’t want
Michaels appearing to speak for the state on global warming issues.
This guest contribution provides a critical perspective that goes
