UFOTV® Accept no imitations. Based on discoveries by Nikola Tesla, HAARP is a controversial technology operated by the US military beaming high level energy into the Earth’s upper atmosphere. HAARP also locates hidden oil reserves and missile silos around the world. However, critics of HAARP say this technology could blow a massive hole in the upper atmosphere as well as disrupt the subtle magnetic energies of all life on Earth. Narrated by Martin Sheen this film presents an investigation of a subject that could have a dramatic effect on all life.
With your brain connected to a super computer, you could move whatever you want, and have capabilities beyond “your” own. Precisely when this will happen is hard to know, but such a world is coming. Don’t miss famed futurist Michio Kaku on his journey to unveil our future. Available at https://CuriosityStream.com.
Ed Hawkins spends his days doing, you know, climate science. A professor at the University of Reading in the UK, he has published widely on the overturning circulation in the north Atlantic Ocean, as well as trends for sea ice in the Arctic and how to predict future temperatures, among other topics. And he contributed to the most recent mega-report of the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which everybody cites for pretty much everything in this area.
He’s now famous, though, for something quite different. This:
As of early Wednesday, the startling animation had been retweeted over 3,200 times, covered separately here in the Post and by many, many other outlets — our own Jason Samenow called it the “most compelling global warming visualization ever made” — and even used as an example of how the IPCC itself could improve its dreary and often faulted communications, in an interview with its new head, Hoesung Lee.
“I can’t quite believe it,” says Hawkins, who says that his university’s servers were “struggling a bit” Tuesday morning as large numbers of people were apparently watching the animation.
“It was just designed to try and communicate in a different way. As scientists I think we need to communicate, and try different things, and this was just one of those trials, and it has turned out very well,” Hawkins says. (He credits Jan Fuglestvedt, a fellow researcher at the University of Oslo, with suggesting the idea of a spiral to him).

Dr. Michael Mann, Earth System Science Center-Penn State University/Dire Predictions: Understanding Climate Change (2nd edition) joins Thom. The oceans are literally starving now. Plus the Fires in Canada – Is this a preview of what the future will look like if we don’t do something right now to stop climate change?
Economist Dr. Richard Wolff, Democracy At Work joins Thom. The Panama Papers have revealed tens of thousands of tax havens used by world leaders like British Prime Minister David Cameron – What do they tell us about the true nature of global capitalism?

Greg Palast, Rolling Stone/BBC News/Billionaires & Ballot Bandits joins Thom. With just over 6 months until the November elections – Trump is presumptive Republican nominee – and he’s getting a lot of help from Kansas’ Secretary of State – Kris Kobach. Kobach has spent years pushing for strict voter suppression laws that help Republicans get elected by putting undue burdens on voters to prove their citizenship – despite the fact that there is no evidence that voter fraud is a real problem in the United States. And that means that 36,000 people have had their registration suspended in the state of Kansas alone.

Erik Altieri, Agenda Project Action Fund joins Thom. Less than two years after the Republicans were freaking out about Ebola crossing the border from Mexico or whatever – and the Republicans are basically just shrugging at the idea of the Zika virus spreading throughout the United States. But more people here are going to be sickened by Zika than were at risk for Ebola in the United States – so what will it take for Republicans to come around and actually address this threat before it becomes a crisis?

An EPA report on glyphosate was recently taken down just three days after it was published. And it’s a move that has both Republicans – and progressives – up in arms. Conservatives are quick to declare how much they hate the EPA and it’s “job-killing regulations.” But progressives want to know why the EPA relies on so many studies conducted by the very industries that they’re supposed to regulate.
This conference is grounded in the premise that while seemingly of different orders, invasive others — whether people, plants, ideas, or pathogens — are described in similar ways and are patrolled and controlled through similar technologies, logics, and policies. The conference explores the way the language and technologies intersect and play off one another. By placing these different “invasives” alongside one another, we will learn more about the nature of Otherness in our world and how it is managed, governed, or eliminated. If we are to protect the rights of others, this knowledge is invaluable.

Welcome to Transition Studies. To prosper for very much longer on the changing Earth humankind will need to move beyond its current fossil-fueled civilization toward one that is sustained on recycled materials and renewable energy. This is not a trivial shift. It will require a major transition in all aspects of our lives.
This weblog explores the transition to a sustainable future on our finite planet. It provides links to current news, key documents from government sources and non-governmental organizations, as well as video documentaries about climate change, environmental ethics and environmental justice concerns.
The links are listed here to be used in whatever manner they may be helpful in public information campaigns, course preparation, teaching, letter-writing, lectures, class presentations, policy discussions, article writing, civic or Congressional hearings and citizen action campaigns, etc. For further information on this blog see: About this weblog. and How to use this weblog.
