Indian villages lie empty as drought forces thousands to flee

”Twenty-one Indian cities – including Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai and Hyderabad – are expected to run out of groundwater by 2020, and 40% of India’s population will have no access to drinking water by 2030.”

After oil refineries exploded in Philadelphia this teen is resolute to fight against fossil fuels.

For all of the people who claim how oil and gas are cheap, think again:

A new report says that the world subsidized fossil fuels by $5.2 trillion in just one year.

The International Monetary Fund recently updated its comprehensive report on global fossil-fuel subsidies. It arrives at a staggering conclusion: In 2017, the world subsidized fossil fuels by $5.2 trillion, equal to roughly 6.5 percent of global GDP. That’s up half a trillion dollars from 2015, when global subsidies stood at $4.7 trillion, according to the IMF. If governments had only accounted for these subsidies and priced fossil fuels at their “fully efficient levels” in 2015, then worldwide carbon emissions would have been 28 percent lower, and deaths due to toxic air pollution 46 percent lower.

The report suggests a morally grim situation: As the planet careens toward climate catastrophe, governments are forking over trillions of dollars—one-fifteenth of the global economy!—directly to oil, coal, and gas companies. But the challenge of combatting climate change through politics is much more difficult than some tidy math can make it seem. This calculation suggests that recalibration would be simple. If we only cut those subsidies, then carbon pollution would plunge, and we’d be much further along in addressing the climate challenge.

The burning of fossil fuels demands the grant of something valuable not from one equal to another, but from the poor to the rich, from the weak to the powerful. The wealthy can and do burn more fuels, after all. A remarkable study published this year in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that black and Hispanic Americans experience about 55 percent more air pollution than they cause. White Americans, meanwhile, suffer 17 percent less air pollution than they cause. No wonder black children are four times as likely to die from asthma as white children.

So, this New Green Deal is a fascist/socialist plot to make 102" TV illegal and take our guns?

And they are coming for your cows

He is a bad choice because his own credibility  is compromised . But I will still take an hypocrite over a denialist

Ah yes Benny Boop 

The guy who thinks being able to use wind and over again violates the laws of thermodynamics and called the beetles song called imagine unrealistic . Truly the greatest mind of our age ...

Read recently that probably the best stop gap in global warming (that is to say, the measure that might just gain us the time we need to come up with a REAL solution) is to plant trees.  About a trillion of them.
