Who first coined the term “Greenhouse Effect”?
GCD, ClimateCite - 6 hours ago
Serendipity | 18. August 2015 Today I’ve been tracking down the origin of the term “Greenhouse Effect”. The term itself is problematic, because it only works as a weak metaphor: both the atmosphere and a greenhouse let the sun’s rays through, and then trap some of the resulting heat. But the mechanisms are different. A greenhouse stays warm by preventing warm …
Victoria Nuland Had A Hand In Every US Intervention In The Past 30 Years
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 6 hours ago
President Joe Biden’s nomination of Victoria Nuland for Under Secretary for Political Affairs, the third-highest position at the State Department, is a dangerous sign. Nuland exemplifies the neoconservatives who have led American foreign policy from one disaster to another for the past 30 years, all while evading any shred of accountability. As a top-level appointee, Nuland must still be confirmed by the Senate. And while pro-peace groups have waged a campaign to stop her confirmation, reflecting on her career in public service makes clear why she is incompetent, highly dangerous,...

Trump Assumes New Leadership Role for Nation, Despite British Occupation of White House
Susan Kokinda, All Posts - 2 weeks ago
Donald Trump’s first political move since leaving the White House was to create the “Office of the Former President,” to continue fighting for the nation, from outside the confines of the “Swamp.” As Lyndon LaRouche understood in his eight campaigns for President, the “institution of the Presidency” is a powerful force which transcends the Oval Office, and is composed of whomever is prepared to lead the nation. Susan Kokinda challenges you to be part of that.

But unlike during previous, similar wholesale looting attacks and outright robbery of the population, President Trump awakened the U.S. citizenry to their power, and they will not go back to tolerating a less than human condition.

You can click here to take the first action as part of this campaign. Back in 2016, I helped to launch #DefundDAPL.
