BBC NEWS | Africa | 'Apocalyptic scene' after Chad raid

News from the African climate crisis war zone Darfur Sudan & Chad is so bleak, it is difficult to post after reading.

Yet there go I --- in my brothers and sisters who suffer. The least I can do is bear witness, write my congressional delegation AS IF IT MATTERED -- (it does) and contribute to groups like Doctors Without Borders

Revkin is one of my favorite newspaper writers-- and gets to take cool trips to far off lands -- like the Arctic-- reporting first hand from the scene of the crime.

The Future is Drying Up by Jon Gertner NYT Magazine 10/21/2007

Climate - Drought - Global Warming - American West - Arizona - Utah - Colorado - New Mexico - Nevada - New York Times

Read this story to understand water in the West. And read NYT reporter Jon Gertner's finely woven tale for the pleasure of compelling writing and editing.

You won't look at water the same way again-- no matter where you live.

Of course it goes without saying that water is a public not private right. But we are going to see pitched battles between capitalists trying to squeeze a buck out of a common good like water, and communities like Denver and Seattle that have invested for over 100 years to keep water public, clean and "cheap".

The "cheap water" part is ending-- climate crisis and the rapid drying out of the West will see to that-- but public utilities will have public mandates for socially just water distribution -- private enterprise only profits.

There is something about climate crisis that makes me think of that warning in a car's side view mirror - "objects in mirror may be closer than they look."

Basta.

Green Collar Jobs: Social Justice & Green economy

Green collar jobs: old fashioned blue collar jobs with a green mission-- is the subject of Tom Friedman's editorial in today's NYT

Working class America has been gutted by Bush and Clinton trade policies. Jobs have gone overseas and are not coming back.

Green collar jobs offer us an opportunity to stop shipping all jobs overseas. What are these jobs? Insulating homes, installing solar panels, building wind farms, planting trees in cities to cool them off, and all kinds of re-use, recycle work.

How many millions of jobs can we create? Who are candidates pushing for these jobs? Who is standing up for investments in fresh air, clean water, and good green jobs?

Polar bears are dying, sure. Extinction looms large. But people have to eat, they have to work. Self respect and a full belly come before compassion for others-- and I mean polar bears as the Other.

We can change this world.
