_____ (2022-04-16). We're Failing To Prepare Our Children For The Climate Fight. popularresistance.org Climate change is hurtling forward at frightening speed. And the American K-12 system still isn't remotely prepared to teach children about what they'll soon face. Today, the majority of students in U.S. schools get between zero and two hours of instruction per year about climate change—hardly enough time to discuss the political, cultural, and environmental ramifications of greenhouse gas emissions, let alone make space for the emotions elicited by such an existential threat. In some districts, climate education is actually disinformation, as teachers rely on materials created by the fossil fuel industry t…

_____ (2022-04-16). Biomass Industry Pushes Back Against Europe's Plans To Protect Woodlands. popularresistance.org A powerful US biomass lobby group is pushing for a raft of changes that would weaken European renewable energy rules geared to better protect biodiversity and tackle climate change, DeSmog can reveal. | Leaked documents shared with DeSmog show that Yorkshire wood-burning power plant Drax is at the heart of the effort to water down EU sustainability criteria. | Campaigners say that the proposed amendments pose an "existential threat" to the company, which in 2021 produced nearly 13 percent of the UK's renewable electricity through burning wood pellets.

William Rivers Pitt (2022-04-15). As Republicans Push Far Right Agenda, Stakes for Midterms Couldn't Be Higher. truthout.org I approach the upcoming 2022 midterm election burdened by an almost cosmic sense of dread. The stakes involved this time around are altogether daunting: The manner in which we as a nation deal with a hot war and its global impact, a global pandemic that is not finished with us yet, the global climate crisis, and so much else, will be determined to no insignificant degree by who emerges victorious from these upcoming contests. It ain't about getting the potholes filled this time. | Riding sidecar with dread is my usual kid-at-Christmas anticipation for what lies immediately ahead. I am of the opinion that primary…

_____ (2022-04-15). $50 Million In Public Money Wasted On Private-Equity Potash Venture. popularresistance.org When Governor Whitmer signed the bipartisan Building Michigan Together Plan, she chose to allow a $50 million subsidy to Michigan Potash Company to remain in the bill. MCWC and other concerned groups and citizens learned about this gift to a poorly conceived start-up project only days before the bill came out of the legislature for signature. We have been investigating and opposing this unnecessary and potentially destructive scheme for the last 6 years. Clearly neither the legislature nor the Governor took the time to investigate this venture before slipping it into the otherwise decent infrastructure bill. | Th…
