A discussion on political civility. Mainstream media fails us on climate change dramatically
I recently gave an important civility speech at the Unitarian Fellowship in Houston. The mainstream media is failing us dramatically on climate change even as the planet burns.
Politics Done Right
Topics covered on the show today.
My speech on civility in political & social discourse at the Unitarian Fellowship of Houston: Egberto Willies, host of Politics Done Right on KPFT-FM in Houston, spoke at the Unitarian Fellowship of Houston. On Sunday, July 30, 2023, he discussed civility in political and social discourse, and how to create respect, tolerance, and the willingness to listen to people with whom we disagree. [More]
Mainstream Coverage Doesn’t Reflect Urgency of Major Current’s Potential Collapse: When a new peer-reviewed study (Nature Communications, 7/25/23) announces that a crucial Atlantic Ocean circulation system, a cornerstone of the global climate, may collapse as quickly as two years from now, you’d think news outlets might want to put that on the front page. The AMOC (Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation) moves warmer water from the tropics to the North Atlantic, where it cools, sinks, and returns down the U.S. East Coast. Its collapse would be a “climate tipping point” with, as the British Guardian (7/25/23) explained, "disastrous consequences around the world, severely disrupting the rains that billions of people depend on for food in India, South America, and West Africa. It would increase storms and drop temperatures in Europe, and lead to a rising sea level on the eastern coast of North America. It would also further endanger the Amazon rainforest and Antarctic ice sheets." [More]
