Horn of Africa Severe Famine Due to "Deadly Cocktail" of War, Climate Change, Neoliberalism

DemocracyNow.org - The United Nations has called an emergency meeting to discuss the Horn of Africa drought, which it says has already claimed tens of thousands of lives. Famine was declared in two regions of Somalia on Wednesday where 3.7 million people are in need of urgent humanitarian assistance. Another 8 million people need food assistance in neighboring countries including Kenya and Ethiopia. United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon calls the situation a "catastrophic combination of conflict, high food prices and drought" and has appealed for immediate aid. Democracy Now! interviews Kiki Gbeho, country head in Somalia for the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, by telephone in Nairobi. In New York, Democracy Now! talks to Christian Parenti, author of "Tropic of Chaos: Climate Change and the New Geography of Violence." " This was predicted long ago by people on the ground," Parenti says. "It is a combination of war, climate change and very bad policy, particularly an embrace of radical free-market by regional governments that mean the withdrawal of support for pastoralists, the type of people you saw with their dead cattle."

Journalist Forrest Wilder Reports on Texas Wildfires, Severe Drought and Climate Change

DemocracyNow.org - Texas Gov. Rick Perry was back on the campaign trail at last night's Republican presidential debate, where he questioned the science behind human-caused global warming. On Wednesday, Perry announced he was returning home to focus on a historic wildfire season in which some 3.6 million acres have burned — an area larger than the size of Connecticut. Perry has used the crisis to complain the federal government is not acting fast enough to assist firefighters, but critics have been quick to note the governor has slashed the budget for the Texas Forest Service, the first line of fire defense for most of the state. The wildfires come amidst a record drought. The state has seen its driest consecutive months since record-keeping began in 1895, and the impact on the state's agricultural industry has been devastating. Democracy Now! speaks with Forrest Wilder, reporter with The Texas Observer. His latest article on this is "Texas' Permanent Drought: Our water deficit didn't start with this drought. And it won't end with this drought."

Planet Earth - The Climate Puzzle (1986)

Throughout Earth's history, there have been radical shifts in climate that have directly affected the planet, and the organisms that inhabited its lands and waters. These changes have included ice ages and periods of massive flooding, conditions that influenced the survival or extinction of many life forms. In Planet Earth: The Climate Puzzle, viewers will learn what scientists look for as they research factors that might cause climate changes. Humans adapted to global climate shifts by moving from continent to continent in search of temperate zones. Included in the program is a discussion of future concerns regarding possible severe climate change

Fatal Frost: Cold kills over hundred in Ukraine

Across the globe, Europe is also suffering severe weather conditions. For most of the continent this means some transport disruption at worst, but in Ukraine the consequences are far more serious. The country is enduring its harshest winter in recent history with over 100 lives lost to the cold in the last week alone. RT's Aleksey Yaroshevsky has more.

Papantonio: Climate Change is a National Security Threat

The Pentagon told Congress in their defense review that it was time to factor severe climate change into their strategic military planning. According to that pack of obviously misguided tree-hugging military misfits, global climate change that is definitely now occurring could create "instability or conflict, placing a burden on civilian infrastructures and militaries around the world." Wow. Strong language from the Pentagon!

Clive Hamilton on climate engineering: The Return of Dr Strangelove, ANU Aug 2010

Professor Clive Hamilton discusses the various ideas floated in the area of climate engineering in a video recorded at The Australian National University on 4 August 2010. In Stanley Kubrick's 1964 film, Dr Strangelove was a mad scientist whose character was modelled on Dr Edward Teller, the "father of the hydrogen bomb". In the 1990s, Teller and his colleague at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Lowell Wood (a weapons researcher nicknamed "Dr Evil"), were among the first to advocate climate engineering. This scheme aimed to transform the chemical composition of the Earth's atmosphere in order to offset global warming. Taking control of the weather sounds like science fiction, but there is now a powerful alliance of scientists and venture capitalists backing it. The public is being kept in the dark, but with severe climate disruption now inevitable, the climate engineers may well succeed in their mission. Professor Clive Hamilton is professor of public ethics at Charles Sturt University, attached to the Centre for Applied Philosophy and Public Ethics at The Australian National University. For many years he was the executive director of the Australia Institute, a think tank he founded. He has written a number of bestselling books including Growth Fetish, Affluenza (with Richard Denniss) and The Freedom Paradox. His latest book, Requiem for a Species: Why we resist the truth about climate change, was published in March by Allen & Unwin (www.clivehamilton.net.au)

Earth Report - Doomsday Vault

The Norwegian government has built an underground vault to guard against a major catastrophe - nuclear war, asteroid strikes or severe climate change. Its a seed bank on a wild Arctic island 500 miles from the North Pole: a store for all the known varieties of the worlds crops - just in case.
