Bernanke Speech Was Only a Minor Footnote to Enduring Crisis

Richard D. Wolff, Truthout: 'If Americans expected some sign of dramatic policy initiatives from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, they were disappointed in Friday s speech. Instead, Bernanke repeated how confident he was in the basic strengths of the US economy... This all amounts to more of the same policies we have been seeing... 'Trickle-down' is indeed the right name for this program: shovel help to the financial top of the economic pyramid and hope it trickles some of its loot down to the mass of businesses and individuals.'

Hurricane Irene Could Never Take from Americans What the Banks Already Have

How Global Warming Is Making Hurricane Irene Worse

Brad Johnson, ThinkProgress: 'Millions of people and billions of dollars of property are at risk from this one storm, in this year of billion-dollar climate disasters. Global warming pollution is far from the only reason that Hurricane Irene shouldn t be thought of as a 'natural' disaster. Much of the devastating potential of Hurricane Irene will be a consequence of past decisions about land use, construction and coastal preservation... Although Irene is being described as a 'once in a lifetime' threat, the weight of the evidence indicates that this storm is merely a harbinger of our dangerous future.'

http://www.truth-out.org/how-global-warming-making-hurricane-irene-worse/1314545277

Will Hurricane Irene Be a Wake-Up Call About Climate Change?

Amy Goodman, Democracy NOW!: 'Hurricane Irene received a massive amount media coverage, but television reports made little or no reference to the role global warming played in the storm. We speak with someone with his eye on climate change and its impact. 'We've had not only this extraordinary flooding, but on the same day that Hurricane Irene was coming down, Houston set its all time temperature record, 109 degrees,' says Bill McKibben, co-founder and director of 350.'

Hurricane Perry Bashes East Coast

Dean Baker, Truthout: 'Climatologists tell us that we cannot relate any specific weather event to global warming but there is no doubt that human-caused global warming increases the likelihood of extreme weather events like Irene. This means that by the Washington politics standard of evidence we absolutely can blame the death and destruction caused by the hurricane on Governor Perry and other opponents of measures to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. If we continue to emit GHG without restraint we can expect many more Irene type catastrophes in the United States and around the world.'

Gore: Global warming skeptics are this generation s racists

Daily Caller
by Caroline May

08/28/11

One day climate change skeptics will be seen in the same negative light as racists, or so says former Vice President Al Gore. ... The former vice president recalled how society succeeded in marginalizing racists and said climate change skeptics must be defeated in the same manner...
