Climate Agreements Suck

  2024-03-25 by in Counter Punch

Global CO2 is on a rampage, skyrocketing upwards like never before, double-to-triple rates of only one year ago, see: CO2 Bursting into the Atmosphere. This is not supposed to be happening. It is twisting the planet’s climate system into a pretzel that doesn’t know which way to turn next. There are plenty of reasons to believe it is going to get much, much worse.

  2023-04-24 by in Counter Punch

Global warming is hitting full stride as SE Asia, inclusive of parts of China and India literally roast.

This is shamefully called ‘the free market’, and ‘overpopulation’ of the poor is still blamed for the results.
