Peabody Energy to White House: Greenhouse Gas a ‘Non-Existent Harm’ In an official submission to the White House earlier this year, U.S. coal giant Peabody Energy claims that greenhouse gas is a “non-existent harm” and a “benign gas that is essential to all life.” The March 2015 submission from Peabody further claims that “while the benefits of carbon […]
Framing Iran: Thomas Friedman’s War Wish
Framing Iran: Thomas Friedman’s War Wish Thomas Friedman, the New York Times op-ed-page representative of the foreign-policy elite, is unhappy with how the soon-to-be-completed Iran nuclear talks are going.

MH-17 Case Slips into Propaganda Fog Exclusive: Almost a year ago, Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was shot down over eastern Ukraine killing 298 people.

Tomgram: Naomi Oreskes, Why Climate Deniers Are Their Own Worst Nightmares When I go out with my not quite three-year-old grandson, his idea of a good time is hide-and-seek. This means suddenly darting behind a bush too small to fully obscure him or into a doorway where he remains in plain sight, while I wander […]

What’s Really Going on at Fukushima?
What’s Really Going on at Fukushima? The Real Story Fukushima’s still radiating, self-perpetuating, immeasurable, and limitless, like a horrible incorrigible Doctor Who monster encounter in deep space.
