Capitalism is evil
10 Comments Published by Sabotabby September 24th, 2007 in Environment, Big Business, Ze Goggles! Zey Do Nothing!, A million ways to mortgage the futureJust when you thought it wasn’t bad enough that bottled water companies drain public reserves of water for free and then sell it back to said public for $1.50 a pop, WaterBank of America has launched a fresh new horror:
Because you didn’t need enough plastic in your life.
H/T to Meagan D.; sorry that I didn’t […]
Yet another way in which America is screwing Iraq
3 Comments Published by Sabotabby September 22nd, 2007 in Imperialism for Dummies, Environment, Politics, Yay! Science!, Big Business, War, A million ways to mortgage the futureSo we’ve all heard about the Blackwater thing by now, right? After last Sunday, when Blackwater Christofascist mercenaries went on a killing spree, murdering at least 28 people in cold blood, Iraq’s puppet government finally said “enough is enough,” and revoked Blackwater’s license to operate in the country. This isn’t the first time that Blackwater […]
But at least it’s good for business
1 Comment Published by Sabotabby September 15th, 2007 in EnvironmentGlobal warming is melting Arctic ice and opening the Northwest Passage.
This is one of these stories that should get everyone freaked out, regardless of political affiliation. Of course, there’s a plus side:
Researcher Claes Ragner of Norway’s Fridtjof Nansen Institute, which works on Arctic environmental and political issues, said for now, the new opening has only […]
Never forget
1 Comment Published by Sabotabby September 11th, 2007 in Environment, Politics, Human Rights, Shame on you for not being rich white and privilegedIt’s that day again. The day that wingnuts remind us to NEVER! FORGET! (while conveniently ignoring the plight of uninsured rescue workers still suffering from health effects and those now ineligible for workers’ compensation. But who cares about that when you can wave a little flag?).
Today, also, many of us remember that other thing that […]
Lookie who’s gone all fish-hugging on us. Wonder what prompted that?
8 Comments Published by Kyso Kisaen July 20th, 2007 in Environment, Media hackery, Shame on you for being a womanWorld Net Daily asks us environmentalist feminazis: what do you love more, bitch, your precious promiscuity or the planet?
While environmentalists are usually vocal about perceived threats ranging from pesticides to global warming, there is a silence when it comes to one threat already harming the water supply: hormones from birth-control pills.
…George Harden, a board member […]
Ethanol, part deux
6 Comments Published by Kyso Kisaen July 16th, 2007 in Punkass!, Environment, Yay! Science!Some good news for people who like alternative energy: ethanol is back on the table.
Cellulosic ethanol is ethanol that comes from cellulose instead of sugar. This is good because most plants don’t have a lot of sugar, but all plants have lots of cellulose. So, instead of using food crops, (like corn and sugar cane […]
Los Angeles Warmophobia
9 Comments Published by punkass marc July 13th, 2007 in Environment, Looks like someone needs an interventionFive times in my life, Los Angeles and/or its surrounding areas have beckoned. Regardless of whether I was traveling to see friends or catch a UT Rose Bowl victory, I left with the impression that I could — sometimes that I should — live in LA.
Until this last trip.
Don’t get me wrong, […]
When the ship is going down, you might as well sue the captain who ran us into the iceberg
0 Comments Published by punkass marc June 27th, 2007 in Environment, Big BusinessHave you noticed all those terrible storms that we’ve started to encounter as a result of warmer oceans? And all those rising sea levels that threaten the existence of major cities around the globe? And just how generally fucked we all may be as a result of global warming?
Well, law firms have, too. […]
Plus by the time we need to open the vault, the surrounding land will likely be arable.
1 Comment Published by Kyso Kisaen February 9th, 2007 in Brilliant Ideas, EnvironmentWhen the planet melts and/or we otherwise manage to destroy ourselves, do not dispair. Instead, look to the future-look the Arctic.
The Svalbard International Seed Vault will be built into a mountainside on a remote island near the North Pole.
The vault aims to safeguard the world’s agriculture from future catastrophes, such as nuclear war, asteroid […]
In the global warming arena, it’s Corporate America and reality vs. Chris Muir
10 Comments Published by punkass marc January 23rd, 2007 in Environment, Big Business, FUCKING IDIOTSIf you ever need to make one single convincing argument against intelligent design, just point to Chris Muir. This willfully ignorant shitbag spews aggravating, blatant falsehoods as obvious facts, and not just on any old topic. Muir chooses to further lies that threaten the fate of the planet, presumably because they happen to […]
Giant ice shelf sick of being stuck to Canada, decides to float around a bit. Perhaps we should be concerned.
3 Comments Published by Kyso Kisaen December 29th, 2006 in EnvironmentWhen the northern fringes of your country start to break up and drift away, even if they were just ice shelves, I think it is safe to say that you are doomed.
A giant ice shelf has snapped free from an island south of the North Pole, scientists said Thursday, citing climate change as a “major” […]
Two steps forward, one shove back
1 Comment Published by punkass marc November 30th, 2006 in Environment, Big BusinessGM’s taking steps (albeit baby ones since we know they’ve already developed and quashed a successful electric car) to be more competitive in the environmentally sound market:
General Motors Corp. will introduce new hybrid gasoline-electric autos next year to take sales from Toyota Motor Corp., the leader in the fuel-saving technology.
GM plans three hybrid-electric versions of […]
