TODAY'S NEWS: We're Screwed!

Mon, 09/21/2009 - 16:13
 
Today the YES MEN, those fabulous culture jamming pranksters, have done it again, with a squadron of supporting activists.   The cause this time was raising awareness around Climate Change. The prank was to replace thousands of copies of the New York Post in boxes throughout New York City with a hoax paper, sporting the bold headline: WE'RE SCREWED
 
To read the on-line edition of the paper, go to: http://nypost-se.com/ 
 
 Here's one of the more serious articles in the paper....
 
IT'S COMING!
It's official. It's getting hot down here. And if we don't stop burning oil and coal, the Big Apple will be cooked.

According to a high tech study commissioned by a concerned Mayor Bloomberg and generously funded by the Rockefeller Foundation, climate change caused by human-created greenhouse gases is threatening the health, livelihood and security of New Yorkers-especially those who take the subway to work.

 

City report says extreme storms, flooding, deadly heat waves coming soon if we don't make changes fast

 

The New York City Panel on Climate Change, led by an elite team of NASA scientists and climate experts from Columbia, CUNY and Rutgers, has concluded that unless carbon emissions are drastically reduced all over the world, New York faces dangerous increases in temperature (up to 7.5 degrees), extreme weather (hurricanes and intense storms) and sea level rise (as much as 4.5 feet).

STAND WITH VAN JONES

Today's blog is by Fierce Light visionary Judy Rebick:

"Martin Luther King didn't become famous saying I have a complaint," said Van Jones speaking to the Network of Spiritual Activists.  As you have probably heard one of the most eloquent environmental justice activists in the U.S. has resigned from Obama's White House under a relentless right-wing assault of what he calls "lies and distortions."  You will get some idea of what a visionary he is by watching this short video from Fierce Light
