The mile thick Greenland ice sheet would raise the oceans of the world by 7 feet if all of it melted. Climate change deniers say this massive ice sheet, second only to the Arctic, could never thaw completely - or at a rate that concerns us.
Examining a drill core collected during the Cold War and forgotten for almost 60 years, Andrew Christ and his Vermont Colleague Paul Bierman found evidence of plant life from less than a million years ago. They found frozen under nearly 1.4 km of ice, well-preserved fossil plants and biomolecules sourced from at least two ice-free warm periods in the past few million years.
Andrew Christ was interviewed at the end of March 2021. Thanks to independent radio producer and friend Alex Smith for allowing me to re-broadcast this interview, first broadcast on his weekly Radio Ecoshock program.

The current coronavirus pandemic is more than a medical crisis, it is also a political and ideological crisis. It is a crisis deeply rooted in years of neglect by neoliberal governments that denied the importance of public health and the public good while defunding the institutions and decades of austerity.
Latin Waves host Sylvia Richardson speaks with Jorge Marti about governmentâs response to the coronavirus in Western countries, the impact of decades of austerity and neoliberalism policies on health institutions. This pandemic is a call for an end to all sanctions, causing needless death.

Uncle Ho knew all about the racist crimes of Uncle Sam

Phil interviews Dai Trang Nguyen about her new book, "Ho Chi Minh: the Black Race."
Ho Chi Minh was born in 1890 in Vietnam, and later became the leader of the successful national liberation struggle to remove French and US imperialism from Vietnam, and reunite the country. What is little recognized about Ho was his travels to the USA, where he attended meetings of Marcus Garvey's UNIA.
During the 1960s, Ho wrote three essays on the US Civil Rights Movement and the anti-war movement in Vietnam. In them, Ho linked racism in the USA to US imperialism abroad. The essays were widely read in the USA because the Black Panther Party distributed them.
The book, "Ho Chi Minh: the Black Race," can be purchased at a Different Booklist in Toronto.

Ramzy Baroud on the prison culture in Palestine
April 2, 2021, 7:08 a.m.
Today we take a long look at the prison culture in Palestine in an interview with Ramzy Baroud, author of the book, These Chains will be Broken. The power of the book, as with this interview, are the individual stories of these incarcerated Palestinians. The injustices inherent in the Israeli Military justice system tell the real story of the horror of living under military occupation. Last Wednesday, Israeli forces arrested five Palestinian children, ranging between the ages of 8 and 13, in the South Hebron Hills as they picked the seasonal wild flowers to bring back home to their families. Eyewitnesses say the children were first attacked by Israeli settlers, and then detained by Israeli soldiers at the settlersâ demand. âThis was obviously an attempt by the settlers to intimidate the boys by engaging the soldiers. They didnât steal or damage anything. All they were doing was picking Akoub, which grows wild in the fields at this time of year. The children committed no crime. ..."
