UNEP: Meeting Global Climate Goals Requires ‘Rapid Transformation’The world faces a “rapidly closing window” to meet the Paris Agreement’s goals, warns the latest “emissions gap” report from the UN Environment Programme (UNEP). The report, which explores the impact of new pledges and the “gap” toward meeting the Paris targets, finds that while progress has been made in recent years to mitigate emissions and deploy more clean energy, it is insufficient to put the world on a path to limit warming to well-below 2C or to 1.5C this century. Despite ambitious pledges, there has been “limited progress” in the year since COP26, it says. In a stark war... read more

The report also notes that only 12 of the 194 parties in the Paris Agreement have a commitment for a specific percentage of renewables in their total energy mixes.

Mexico’s Independent Union Movement: Overview Of Victories And ChallengesMexico - The labor regime of the neoliberal period in Mexico is in full decline. It was already a degeneration of the successful corporatist system, a one-party political structure in which the state controlled the unions under the long-ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party. Unions not only became state dependent under the PRI's corporatist system, but also entered a social pact with corporations to suppress wages and labor strife through “protection contracts,” so named because they protect employers from genuine worker organizing. This corporatist system was in full swing fro... read more

Red Wave or Pre-Menstrual Trickle?
(By *American Zen*'s Mike Flannigan, on loan from Ari) *A*s usual, the pollsters and the MSM talking heads that count so heavily upon them were wrong, as I'd said for months they'd be. They'd been predicting a red tsunami since Biden took his hand off that Bible on January 20th last year.
