As @thejuicemedia.com illustrates coherently, the protests around the world are echoing each other because multinational plutocrats have screwed us over in almost the same ways, and tried to crush our ability to protest it. Watch & share. #Auspol Me glaring at the “neoliberal thought collective”

The Government™ has made an ad about all these protests happening around the world, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

A detailed survey finds that a shocking decline of deep sea marine life after the Deepwater Horizon disaster persists 15 years later. Industrial impacts can tip even remote ecosystems into diminished states that may not be able to sustain themselves.

insideclimatenews.orgDeep-Sea Species Struggle to Recover After Deepwater Horizon Spill - Inside Climate NewsScientists monitoring the deep ocean near the disaster site found that animal populations declined by as much as 80 percent, with little evidence of recovery.

Lakes are living systems that are connected to the rest of the living Earth system. We damage and disrupt them at our risk.

Learned about marine ice cliff instability from the great ice scientist Richard Alley while I was writing "The Doomsday Glacier." It's what puts the "doom" in "doomsday." www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

".....the SEC has identified all the ways investors try to press companies to manage climate risk and is working to shut down each path, from limiting their ability to file shareholder resolutions to making it harder for investors to meet with companies."

The SEC issued a rare report this week putting investors on notice that some climate risk advocacy could trigger investigations. The focus was a campaign against ExxonMobil.
