Christopher Wright and Daniel Nyberg | (The Conversation) | – – While businesses have been principal agents in increasing greenhouse gas emissions, they are also seen by many as crucial to tackling climate change.

Opioid Superstorm: A Growing wealth Gap & deserted Neighborhoods
by Suzanne Marvin with Gail Ukockis | (Informed Comment) | – – Some disasters are sudden and abrupt, such as the hurricanes that struck Puerto Rico and other islands. Other disasters, though, are slow-moving and easy to ignore. The opioid epidemic, combined with systemic poverty, is like a long-lasting flood that keeps on inundating the […]
The Break-Up of America: Donald Trump and the Fourth Great Shattering
By John Feffer | ( Tomdispatch.com ) | – – When the historian Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., published his bestseller The Disuniting of America in 1991, he didn’t seriously entertain the worst-case scenario suggested by the title. At the time, the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia were imploding, while separatist movements in Quebec, East Timor, Spain’s Basque […]

The divide was underscored Sunday as French President Emmanuel Macron […]
Morocco’s Solar Power Revolution Sparks Jobs, High-Tech Investment
The World Bank | (Video News Report) | – – “Concentrating Solar Power, CSP, is huge in Morocco. Literally, it’s huge. Panels almost the size of tennis courts stretch across acres of desert at the 4 Noor plants in Ouarzazate, providing enough power to light up Marrakesh at night. Learn how it’s done, what it […]
Why do the Super-Rich hate the Poor & Workers so Much?
Sam Pizzigati | Institute for Policy Studies | – – Only days after the horrific aftermath of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico, Donald Trump unleashed a tweet that outraged many but surprised few. With millions of Puerto Ricans without food, water, and fuel, Trump lashed out against those islanders literally begging for more federal help. […]
Corporations Shouldn’t Get to Have ‘Religious’ Objections to Your Health Care
By Martha Burk | (Otherwords.org) | – – Expanding “corporate citizen” rights into health care could ultimately affect everybody, not just women. When Obamacare — aka, the Affordable Care Act — became law in 2010, it mandated coverage of birth control without co-payments. Some employers didn’t like the rule, and Hobby Lobby hated it so […]
