“Arctic System Collapse? Devastating new research.”
“The arctic region is a key driver of global climate patterns. In the summer of 2022, three peer reviewed research papers were published, all of which showed the systems that have kept the arctic stable for thousands of years are now collapsing far more quickly than previous analysis and modelling had suggested. A fourth paper, published at the same time, shows us what the consequences are likely to be. This video assesses all four.”

“Neoliberalism and its discontents”
“Description
Neoliberalism, that catch-phrase of our time, is one of those squishy words that resists a simple definition, but everyone feels its meaning as they struggle to pay the rent, put off going to the doctor, gasp for breath in rotten air or see their sons and daughters shipped off to fight distant wars for oil or lithium. Neoliberalism is nothing less than capitalism’s latest and perhaps cruelest manifestation. It arrived stealthily in America under the seemingly benign grin of Jimmy Carter, kicked into gear under Reagan, and reached maximum speed during the Clinton era, when the legacy of FDR was dismantled and its government pastures were sown with deregulationist salt so it would never take root again. Cockburn and St. Clair were there to cover this economic warfare from the frontlines—from NAFTA to the gutting of welfare, the drug war to the Wall Street bailouts. These dispatches from the wreckage document how a generation of political do-gooders cut the cords of the social safety net, letting millions fall into destitution “for their own good,” as the wealthiest among us fattened their bank accounts in a frenzy of accumulation, an orgy of thieves.”

“What's next for the Canary of the Western World?! A water shortage in Australia's largest city, that's what. Turns out despite being full, the water in the reservoir is so full of garbage from the flooding that only about 15% of the water floating on the top is fit enough to filter and drink. Eww, drinking garbage water. That's bad enough but then to run out of even garbage water? What's next?!”

“SPOTLIGHT ON CLIMATE XX:
EFFECTS OF CLIMATE ON SOCIETIES OF THE LAST 1,200 YEARS
by Dr. Tom Finger, NAU Professor of Environmental History
It is scary to realize that we have already raised the Earth's temperature more than what was required to end the human societies at Chaco Canyon, Mesa Verde, Wupatki, Betatakin, and many others across the Colorado Plateau and the American Southwest.
Human activities have already raised the Earth's average temperature by 1.2°C (=2.2°F) and we are projected to raise it by 5°C (=9°F) by the year 2100. It's not surprising that farmers in northern Alberta are now growing corn and their yields are increasing year after year.
Will we be able to adapt to those new temperatures and climatic conditions?
