Governments Meddling In Crucial UN Climate Report
By Countercurrents
http://www.countercurrents.org/cc270414.htm
A top climate expert has claimed officials from all main countries 'insisted on changes in late-night meeting', and the intervention amounts to 'serious conflict of interest' although IPCC reports are supposed to be independent as they help shape policy. Harvard professor Robert Stavins electrified the worldwide debate on climate change on Friday by sensationally publishing a letter online in which he spelled out the astonishing interference
Climate Crisis: Don't Wait Until You Feel It
By Countercurrents
http://www.countercurrents.org/cc270414B.htm
Despite overwhelming scientific evidence for the impending dangers of human-made climate crisis, policy decisions leading to substantial emissions reduction have been slow. New study by Carnegie's Katharine Ricke and Ken Caldeira focuses on the intersection between personal and global impacts
Geological Extinction Events And Runaway Climate Change
By John Scales Avery
http://www.countercurrents.org/avery270414.htm
A runaway, exponentially increasing, feedback loop involving methane hydrates could lead to one of the great geological extinction events that have periodically wiped out most of the animals and plants then living. This must be avoided at all costs
War, Economic Catastrophe And Environmental Degradation

This warped notion of development has seen the poverty alleviation rate in India remain around the same as it was back in 1991 or even in pre-independence India (0.8 percent ), while the ratio between the top and bottom ten percents of the population has doubled during this period. According to the Organisation for Co-operation and Economic Development, this doubling of income inequality has made India one of the worst performers in the category of emerging economies
International Initiative On Global Internet Governance
By Countercurrents
http://www.countercurrents.org/cc270414C.htm
“Brazil believes that the governing of the internet should be multi-sector, democratic and transparent. We consider the multilateral model to be the best way to govern it,” said Dilma Rousseff, the Brazilian president. Dilma Rousseff was speaking at the beginning of a global conference in Sao Paulo on governing a safer, less US centered internet. She convened the two day meeting following revelations that she and other world leaders were spied on by the US National Security Agency
Ukrainian Crisis: Moving Closer To War
By Paul Craig Roberts
http://www.countercurrents.org/roberts270414.htm
The Obama regime, wallowing in hubris and arrogance, has recklessly escalated the Ukrainian crisis into a crisis with Russia. Whether intentionally or stupidly, Washington’s propagandistic lies are driving the crisis to war. Unwilling to listen to any more of Washington’s senseless threats, Moscow no longer accepts telephone calls from Obama and US top officials
Can World War III Be Far Behind
By Prof. Francis A. Boyle
http://www.countercurrents.org/boyle270414.htm
At the end of Clash of Civilizations, after confronting the Muslim world in the Mideast in order to steal their oil, Sam then has the US “pivot” to confront China. The book ends with a war between the US and China. It is this Brzezinski-Huntington Policy that we are now seeing put into operation by the Obama administration both in Ukraine against Russia and against China at the same time. Can World War III be far behind?
Obama And Kerry; Out Of Their League

I cannot stay silent any longer. I watch the news on American TV and watch the BBC and I want to throw up. The reason for this is that I also read Op-Ed News and other so called "alternative" media. Most people don't take the time to read the media that isn't government branded and government sanctioned. They hear how the evil Russians are pushing around the poor Ukrainians that only want their "freedom". What a crock of shit
The Sickly Smell Of Lies And Death
By John Chuckman
http://www.countercurrents.org/chuckman270414.htm
Only the other day, Benjamin Netanyahu earned a small note of immortality when he said the peace talks were ended by the new arrangements between the Palestine Authority and Hamas: Netanyahu’s announcement bundled a record number of lies into one mouthful of words. There, of course, never was anything properly called peace talks with Israel
Kissinger Prefers The Missionary Position
By Mickey Z.
http://www.countercurrents.org/mickeyz270414.htm
When asked to explain America’s duplicity towards the Kurds, Kissinger delivered a one-liner that effectively sums up U.S. foreign policy: “Covert action should not be confused with missionary work.” Remember, comrades, this is what we’re up against...
Utopian Dreamers
By Alan Johnstone
http://www.countercurrents.org/johstone270414.htm
Is it possible to mobilise people to fight oppression without fashioning models for a socialist economy for people to fasten on to? The capitalist slogan ‘There is No Alternative’ was answered by ‘Another World is Possible’. We need to know and say much more about this other world. Socialist thought has to deal in prediction, but only in broad terms. We live in dark days. One often has to aim at objectives which one can only very dimly see. Socialism is a vision of the future, while its advocates are actively at work in the present
