Ranked-Choice Voting: An Idea Whose Time Has Come
Howie Hawkins | counterpunch.org | 2020-04-28
Climate activist Bill McKibben took to the New Yorker recently to advise me and the Green Party to stand down our presidential campaign and instead work for ranked-choice voting (RCV) so we don't "spoil" the election for Joe Biden ("Instead of Challenging Joe Biden, Maybe the Green Party Could Help Change Our Democracy," April 15).

Netanyahu Is Back Yet Again
Philip Giraldi | thealtworld.com | 2020-04-28
Israel will become much bigger | Rahm Emanuel, up until recently the mayor of Chicago and before that a top advisor to the president in the Bill Clinton and Barack Obama White Houses and still earlier a volunteer in the Israeli Army, famously once commented that a good crisis should never be allowed to go to waste. He meant, of course, that a crisis can be exploited to provide cover for other shenanigans involving politicians. It was an observation that was particularly true when one was working for a sexual predator like Bill, who once attacked a "terrorist" pharmaceutical factory in Sudan to divert attention aw…

Is a Post-Pandemic World the Beginning of the End for Oil?
Staff | truthout.org | 2020-04-28
Energy analysts have long assumed that, given time, growing international concern over climate change would result in a vast restructuring of the global energy enterprise. The result: a greener, less climate-degrading system. In this future, fossil fuels would be overtaken by renewables, while oil, gas, and coal would be relegated to an increasingly marginal role in the global energy equation. In its World Energy Outlook 2019, for example, the International Energy Agency (IEA) predicted that, by 2040, renewable…

UN chief urges governments to use pandemic to 'rebuild our world for the better'
The Canary | thecanary.co | 2020-04-28
UN chief António Guterres has said the coronavirus pandemic has exposed how fragile societies are but that if governments work together on common challenges, including the climate crisis, it can be an opportunity to "rebuild our world for the better". | Speaking at a two-day international meeting on climate breakdown, the secretary-general said the only effective response to the worldwide health emergency is "brave, visionary and collaborative leadership". | "The same leadership is needed to address the looming existential threat of climate disruption," Guterres said, noting that the past decade was the hottest s…

We Need Healing From Our Oil-Addicted Society
Lucia Santina Ribisi | counterpunch.org | 2020-04-28
Economic stimulus in response to our pandemic should stop funding fossil fuel companies with bailouts. Instead, we should prioritize welfare to rebuild our society with a sustainable approach to health so that crisis "relief" doesn't continue to fail the public or exacerbate the existential crises of climate change. When I think of fossil fuels, I…

Canada should Treat Climate Change With Same Urgency as COVID-19
Yves Engler | dissidentvoice.org | 2020-04-28
While governments' responses to the Covid-19 pandemic proves significant resources can be marshalled quickly in a crisis, there is little evidence official Canada sees global warming as a comparable emergency. Even though Justin Trudeau's Liberals say they take climate change seriously, Canadian greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are actually increasing. According to the inventory report the …

'I never said it was a hoax!' Trump unloads on media in fiery rant, says coronavirus briefings 'not worth the time and effort'
rt.com | 2020-04-26
US President Donald Trump fired off a scathing broadside at the mainstream media, accusing them of peddling the false claim that he called the coronavirus a hoax, and suggesting the Covid-19 briefings are a waste of time. | "What is the purpose of having White House News Conferences when the Lamestream Media asks nothing but hostile questions, & then refuses to report the truth or facts accurately," the president tweeted on Saturday evening. | What is the purpose of having White House News Conferences when the Lamestream Media asks nothing but hostile questions, & then refuses to report the truth or facts accu…

Greta Thunberg: Climate Activists Have Not Lost Hope Amid Pandemic. We're Changing How We Organize
Staff | democracynow.org | 2020-04-22
Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg spoke in an Earth Day live stream hosted by the Nobel Prize Museum about how the Fridays for Future school strikes movement she launched is responding to the coronavirus pandemic. "Within the Fridays for Future movement, there's still this sort of big sense of resistance, and people are thinking, 'We will get out of this. And when we do, we will continue, and we will do everything we can that is possible in that situation to continue to push even harder,'" says Thunberg. "I feel like many people have not lost their sense of hope. We have just changed the way we do things. W…

Chileans Who Took to Streets Against Inequality & Climate Crisis Say Virus Lockdowns Won't Stop Them
Staff | democracynow.org | 2020-04-22
Months ago, the streets of Santiago and other Chilean cities were alive with a vibrant mass protest movement that drew hundreds of thousands and even led the U.N. climate summit to be relocated to Madrid, Spain, last December. Now the public spaces of Santiago are largely empty as citizens shelter in place to prevent the spread of COVID-19. But the protest movement against austerity and right-wing President Sebastián Piñera lives on as activists find new ways to organize online. We go to Santiago, Chile, to speak with Angela Valenzuela, a 350.org organizer who has been active both in the country's uprising and in…
