How does the melting Arctic affect the rest of the world?
Dec. 20, 2016, 6:16 p.m.
The Arctic is now warming twice as fast as the global average. That's the finding in the 11th Arctic Report Card released on December 13, 2016, at the annual American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco. NOAAâs Arctic Research Program Director, Jeremy Mathis, said about the year 2016: âRarely have we seen the Arctic show a clearer, stronger or more pronounced signal of persistent warming and its cascading effects on the environment than this year.â
The Arctic Report Card, by a team of 61 scientists from 11 nations, lists the many ways in which the warming Arctic affects sea level rise, ocean and air circulation as well as weather in the Northern Hemisphere and beyond.
The warming Arctic oceans lead to melting of permafrost on land and affect the Greenland ice sheet. A surprise for scientists was that a warming Arctic also changes the ocean currents in the Northern Hemisphere and even the wind currents.
NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, has presented Arctic Report Cards for 10 years. The American Geophysical Union (AGU) is an organization of geophysicists from 144 countries. Geophysical sciences involve atmospheric and ocean sciences, as well as earth and space.
At the AGU on December 13, 2016, in San Francisco there was standing room only for the press conference that revealed the peer reviewed assessment of the Arctic Report Card 2016. NOAA Arctic Research Program Director Jeremy Mathis presented alongside Don Perovich, Adjunct Professor of Engineering, at Thayer School of Engineering, Dartmouth College, lead editor for the sea ice essay; and Marco Tedesco, Professor at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Columbia University, New York, and the lead editor for the Greenland ice essay.

Syria, Russia, Iran are the Good Guys in Aleppo
Dec. 20, 2016, 4:46 p.m.
The war in Syria is not a civil war, but rather a typical US war against independent countries. Researcher Stephen Lendman compares it to the dismemberment of Yugoslavia and the destruction of Libya.
Concerning Aleppo, Lendman says that East Aleppo was liberated from terrorists. However, the Western media demonizes the legal players in this fight, Russia, Syria, Iran, Hezbollah, and elevates the terrorists to the status of heroes.
Instead of celebrating the victory, UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon condemned it. As Lendman explains, the UN role is that of a wholly-owned subsidiary of the United States. Symbolic of the misnamed "international community," France turned off the lights on the Eiffel Tower to show how dimly the 'former' colonial powers regarded the defeat of their proxy fighters.

In trusts we trust?

Plus: we discuss two big stories we think will define 2017: the race to the bottom between nations on tax aka a transfer of wealth to the corporate community, and how the world's biggest havens are increasingly having to account for the devastating effect their tax and/or financial secrecy policies are having on human rights around the world...

Dec. 19, 2016, 6:17 p.m.
As Syrian forces liberate Aleppo, the beleaguered residents of East Aleppo are being given the chance to tell their story. No longer hostages of Al Qaeda, Aleppo's civilians are running into the arms of the Syrian government, and the aid and hospitals that the 'rebels' have denied them all these years.
Vanessa Beeley explains how the narrative of 'popular humanitarian' rebels is melting away in Aleppo, as the last White Helmets flee in buses together with the last Al Qaeda.

"Shell Shocked" - On the Ground in Gaza
Dec. 17, 2016, 7:51 p.m.
Journalist Mohammed Omer speaks about his new book "Shell Shocked" and the Gaza Unlocked campaign. As journalist and Gaza resident, he provides a first hand account of life on the ground during Israel's most recent attack. In his presentation he takes listeners on a visit to Gaza to experience conditions and hard ships as well as the determination of Gaza's residents to educate their children and sustain their families and culture in spite Israeli efforts to disrupt their lives. He mentions that there still remain over a thousand Christians
in Gaza who have refused enticements from the West to
abandon their homes and culture.
Israel enforces military control over land, air, tunnel and sea access as collective punishment; blocking food, medicine and the material to maintain an urban society.
He speaks of the TSD (Traumatic Stress Disorder) that the children who make up the majority of the society experience;
trauma induced stress that Israel inflicts continuously.
During the Q&A he is asked about the absence of
a critique of Israel's policy and attacks [ it's program to ethnically cleanse historic Palestine and eliminate its rightful occupants through what would be any where else called genocide]. His answer is revealing. He also speaks of the power of BDS and the impact that the nonviolent Boycott, Divest and Sanction movement is having world wide.
Ali Abunimah gives the introduction and some back ground on Mohammed Omer's work as a journalist and the circumstances that forced them both into that vocation.
