Weather Makers plot to transform Sinai desert into wetlands
RT America
The Weather Makers is a Dutch firm who call themselves ‘holistic engineers,’ and if they get their way, they will be re-engineering the Sinai peninsula, that little piece of land dangling off Egypt connecting it to Asia, to transform it from dry desert into a lush green land of forests, wetlands, and farming land rich with flora and fauna

“Get It Done”: Urging Climate Justice, Youth Delegate Anjali Appadurai Mic-Checks UN Summit
Democracy Now! – Dec 9, 2011
A number of protests are being held today at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Durban to protest the failure of world leaders to agree to immediately agree to a deal of binding emissions cuts. Anjali Appadurai, a student at the College of the Atlantic in Maine, addressed the conference on behalf of youth delegates. Just after her speech, she led a mic-check from the stage — a move inspired by the Occupy Wall Street protests. “It always seems impossible until it’s done. So, distinguished delegates and governments around the world, governments of the developed world: Deep cuts now. Get it done,” Appadurai says.

United States, the landmark youth climate lawsuit against the U.S. government; Jerome Foster II, White House Climate Strike organizer, founder and executive director of OneMillionOfUs; and Nasratullah Elham, an Afghan high school student studying in Phuket, Thailand whose visa to the United States was rejected after being invited to the first-ever U.N.

“Crisis of Capitalism”: Roberto Lovato on How U.S. Policies Fuel Migrati on & Instability
Mar 30, 2021
We speak with Salvadoran American journalist Roberto Lovato about how decades of U.S. military intervention in Central America have contributed to the ongoing humanitarian crisis at the border. Some 18,000 unaccompanied migrant children are now in U.S. custody, according to the latest figures, and more than 5,700 are in Customs and Border Protection facilities, which are not equipped to care for children. This comes as a record number of asylum seekers are arriving at the southern border, fleeing extreme poverty, violence and climate change in their home countries. “You have the ongoing epidemic of U.S. policy and the crisis that is not of migration as much as it’s the crisis of capitalism, backed by the kind of militarism and militarized policing that you see not just in the United States, but in Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, on and on,” Lovato says. “The border is the ultimate machete of memory. It cuts up our memory so that we forget 30 years of genocide, mass murder, U.S.-sponsored militarism and policing, failed economic policies.”

WHO OFFICIALS DISCUSS COVID-19 ORIGINS REPORT: Officials from the World Health Organization who led the mission on COVID-19 origins in Wuhan, China, hold a briefing to discuss their report which will be made public today. The report states that the virus was most likely transmitted from animal to human—as was one of the original hypotheses—and does not suggest that it was created in a laboratory. Some global officials remain skeptical of the report, citing China’s interference in which parts of the country the team of researchers could and could not visit.
