Diagnosing Climate Security

Order Valium Online Now this initiative bears watching, because it gets beyond the fuzzy climate change cause-and-effect rhetoric. If adaptation is going to be done right in Africa–or anywhere–then this approach strikes me as a really smart way to go about it: “It is not enough to say that Ethiopia is vulnerable,” says Joshua Busby, an assistant professor…Continue Reading…

The Media Ecosystem Collapse

https://drreddyfamilydoctors.com/womans-health/ Who else but Clay Shirky would draw on Joseph Tainter’s seminal 1988 book, “The Collapse of Complex Societies,” to discuss the downfall of a once dominant business model? Noting the regeneration of media on the web, Shirky also makes this very interesting observation: When ecosystems change and inflexible institutions collapse, their members disperse, abandoning old…Continue Reading…

The Energy Security Challenge

https://www.munshinegroup.com/home-nonprofit/clients/ There was a time in the mid-2000s when it seemed that every other Thomas Friedman column was about the connection between U.S. oil consumption and terrorism. Here he is in 2005, in “No Mullah Left Behind”: By adamantly refusing to do anything to improve energy conservation in America, or to phase in a $1-a-gallon gasoline…Continue Reading…

The Offshore Drilling Decision

Order Soma Online Liberal bloggers are befuddled, enviros are outraged, and the opposition party, as President Obama likely anticipated, is scornful. Most of the conventional analysis is trying to make sense of the Administration’s decision in the context of the Senate’s tortured energy bill negotiations.

At one of the tables I was sitting at, a few snow birds were complaining about the unusually cold winter. It sounded as if some pact had been breached. One retiree complained about having to keep…Continue Reading…

The Politics of Failure

It’s the never-ending war on drugs, of course. Steve Chapman at Reason has a nice take: By now, it should be clear that using force to wipe out the drug trade is a task on the order of bailing out the Atlantic Ocean with a teaspoon. Law enforcement can interdict shipments and imprison dealers, but…Continue Reading…

The Arctic Challenge

As I noted in this review of Cleo Paskal’s new book, “the northwest passage looms large in geopolitics.” Paskal argues that the the U.S. and European Union are allowing short term economic interests in the Arctic to threaten their long-term security interests. It’s one of the more provocative assertions she makes in Global Warring: How Environmental, Economic, and Political Crises…Continue Reading…

Green Lament

https://advogadoemresende.com/audiencia-publica-maes-em-carcere/ I’m not sure how much you can read into one particular comment thread. But there has been a discernible anti-immigration zealotry expressed by Grist readers over the last week, in response to this post. On the thread, Randy Cunningham pleaded with his fellow greens to be more compassionate. He finally gave up, despairing: Most of…Continue Reading…
