CC News Letter 03 Feb - How Big a Disaster Can Climate Change Be?

Dear Friend, Nature has just published a paper by Marsicek et al.  There is an image that shows a reconstruction from pollen records of the temperatures of the past 10,000 year or so, the “Holocene,” for North America and Europe. The image shows how fast temperatures have been growing during the past 50 years or so. It's truly dramatic and terrifying.  Anne Baring writes an indepth review of John Scales Avery's important  book  “Nuclear Weapons: An Absolute Evil” Chapter 4 of Dr Punyabrata Gun's memoir of one the greatest revolutionaries of modern India, Shankar Guha Niyogi. This chapter deals with "The Women’s Movement Of Chhattisgarh" Also more stories from around the world.  If you don't mind, and if you think the content of this news letter is critical for the dignified living and survival of humanity and other species on earth, please forward it to your friends and spread the word.

(photo: Bryan Cox/Getty Images) ICE to Deport Sole Provider of a Paraplegic 6-Year-Old, Report Says By David Boddiger, Splinter 06 January 18 ollowing  the publication of a profile  of 6–year–old Ricky Solis, who will require around–the–clock medical care for the rest of his life after a car crash left him paraplegic, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials announced they will deport the boy’s sole financial provider and one of only two trained caregivers at home.

‘Vote her in next, Massachusetts’ — $15 minimum wage, paid family leave ballot questions to be dropped — KENNEDY joins hunger strike 06/27/2018 07:17 AM EDT By Lauren Dezenski  (ldezenski@politico.com; @LaurenDezenski) with Brent D. Griffiths (bgriffiths@politico.com; @BrentGriffiths) GOOD MORNING, MASSACHUSETTS. NY-14'S MASSACHUSETTS CONNECTION —  A progressive woman of color, facing institutional opposition and a significant fundraising gap, wages a long-shot bid against a 10-term, scandal-free white male incumbent. Sounds a lot like Boston City Councilor  Ayanna Pressley 's campaign to unseat Rep.  Michael Capuano  in Massachusetts' 7th District, right? But those were the contours in New York's 14th District, where 28-year-old  Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez  decisively defeated Rep.  Joe Crowley  in the Democratic primary last night. There's even a Massachusetts connection to the winning campaign — Pressley sent her field dire...

Reclaim America Join the Coffee Party Movement Thank you Senator Markey! Senator Edward J. Markey  — US Senator for Massachusetts In Massachusetts, would-be gun buyers "must complete a four-hour gun safety course, get character references from two people", and have a one-on-one interview with a police officer. We have the lowest gun death rate in America. Let's do this everywhere. Congress should pass my MASS Act that incentivizes other states to adopt tough gun laws similar to those in Massachusetts. NEWTON, Mass. ― A thirtysomething man sought to buy a rifle here last September, and if he had been living in almost any other part of the country, he could have done so easily.  His record was free of arrests, involuntary psychiatric commitments or anything else that might automatically disqualify him from owning firearms under federal law. He could have  walked into a gun store, filled ...

Just an observation.....

Sitting in a doctor's office this week, I picked up a  Christmas magazine that offered interesting  recipes  and so on.....  Instead of informative information, interesting recipes ..... every other page was an ad for DRUGS!  Pills!  Since I customarily bring a book or something to do, the surplus magazines aren't perused.....  Is this what we've come to as a nation?   Several years ago, a medical doctor expressed his frustration that patients came to him having determined they had a certain condition or required a certain medical test from having seen it advertised on television..... Has American Ignorance reached this level?

(photo: rightlivelihood.org) The Movement to Divest From Fossil Fuels Gains Momentum By Bill McKibben, The New Yorker 24 December 17 uesday should have been a day of unmitigated joy for America’s oil and gas executives. The  new G.O.P. tax bill  treats their companies with great tenderness, reducing even further their federal tax burden. And the bill gave them something else they’ve sought for decades: permission to go a-drilling in the  Arctic National Wildlife Refuge . But, around four in the afternoon, something utterly unexpected began to h...
