The Dublin Interview with Professor Kevin Anderson (ONE of TWO)
Aug. 23, 2016, 9:57 p.m.
At the Paris Climate Talks in 2015 195 countries made pledges how to keep global warming under 2 degrees Celsius - or even better 1.5 degrees. However there is very little information as to how or if at all - these pledges are being honored.
Kevin Anderson is Professor of Energy and Climate Change at the University of Manchester, and Deputy Director of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research.
In March 2016 he came for a whirl wind speaking tour of Ireland and sat down for an interview in Dublin with John Gibbons from the National Trust for Ireland. Gibbons calls Anderson one of the worldâs best known and most influential â and outspoken â climate specialists.
Here is the first part of his one hour no holds barred exceedingly well researched analysis, ranging from CO2 emissions in agriculture, his opinion on the million dollar question: is a 2 degree Celsius temperature rise unavoidable - and what if we were to go to 4 degrees? Anderson also unpacks the false promise of green growth.

It's hard to have hope...What will you tell the generations that come after you're gone? The young ask the old to hope....what will you tell them? Tell them at least what you say to yourself. Tell them we lived in a world face with many challenges and also amazing opportunities to create a new path grounded in local focus, fierce intelligence and deep connection with one another. Tell them the path is made by walking, by engaging with open hearted-ness and wide-awakeness that provide for a meaningful and radical engagement with the world.

Cod Willing: David Abel on the Cod's Resurgence
Aug. 23, 2016, 5:48 p.m.
Since 1992, fish ân chips fans may have noticed that there was no cod in their classic fried dish. Thatâs the year that the Canadian government issued a moratorium on fishing the popular, tasty species. It devastated the Newfoundland regionâs economy, but it had to be done. The cod population had dwindled to nearly nothing at that time due to over-fishing and changing water temperatures. Our guest today on Sea Change Radio is Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Abel, who recently wrote a piece for the Boston Globe about how the cod has actually rebounded in recent times. We talk about the region's historical relationship with cod, how science-informed policy can help reverse human-generated ecological damage, and Abel's upcoming film on the subject, Sacred Cod.

Palestinian youth's rebellion against the Occupation, and BDS and Olympics issues
Aug. 22, 2016, 6:47 p.m.
Our feature presentation today is an interview of journalist/author Max Blumenthal by radio journalist Abby Martin. The subject is his "take" on the current rebellion by Palestine's youth against the Israeli occupation, Israeli bullying, and Israeli fascism. Blumenthal is quite clear that this rebellion is not an intifada, so-called. He explains why, and discusses the rebellion's genesis and unique nature.
Before this, we shine some light on the American BDS campaign, its origins going back to the American Revolution and the Bill of Rights, and the Zionists' increasingly desperate battles to prohibit BDS, or at least impede it by blacklisting its adherents. Israel knows that it is increasingly being seen, correctly, as a pariah state throughout the world and is desperately fighting back. Its current gambit: a campaign to muzzle its critics.
Finally, in the context of this year's Olympic Games, we focus on the heroic efforts of Palestinian swimmer Mary al Atrash, and the cruelty of Israel's apartheid and its checkpoints which made her access to an Olympic-size pool, clearly preferable for Olympic training, almost impossible.

Resisting The Dakota Access Pipe Line: LaDonna Brave Bull Allard of the Sacred Stone Camp
Aug. 21, 2016, 2:48 p.m.
This week a new member of The Final Straw, Gil O'Teen, spoke with LaDonna Brave Bull Allard of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe, also a historian and geneologist for that tribe, and the owner of the Sacred Stones Camp. Our guest and interviewer speak about the Sacred Stones Camp, which is a group of people who are standing in active opposition to Dakota Access's attempts to build a crude oil pipeline (DAPL) whose proposed route would go from North Dakota to southern Illinois, traveling through 50 counties and 4 states. They speak about the impacts that this pipeline would have on the people who live in the area, which is also a sacred site for the Lakota folks, how the media has been portraying this issue, the media blackout which has recently been imposed on the camp, and many more topics.
But first, a few announcements:
Update on the Blocking of the DAPL in North Dakota
An update as of Friday: Governor Jack Dalrymple of North Dakota issued a restriced emergency declaration to make additional state resources available to "manage public safety at the Dakota Access Pipeline protests near Cannon Ball, ND." This executive order does not include activation of the National Guard, but does make available other state resources which have previously not been used.
You can keep up with the Sacred Stones Camp and donate to this cause by visiting their Go Fund Me site at https://www.gofundme.com/sacredstonecamp, and you can see lots of photos and videos of this camp by going onto
facebook and searching "No Dakota Access in Treaty Territory".
To get in touch more directly with this resistance, you can call them at (701)301-2238, or write to them at:

Hunger strikes by Imam Siddique Abdullah Hasan & others at OSP
A quick update on the case of Imam Siddique Abdullah Hasan, a prisoner who's been organizing with the Free Ohio Movement and towards the September 9th National Freedom Movement prisoner strike. Hasan has a long history of organizing, including being one of the main negotiators in the 1993 Lucasville Prison uprising for which he currently faces the death penalty. Hasan's been doing media work including an interview on this show about the September 9th 2016 prisoner strikes and last week had his cell raided and was put into the hole at Ohio State Penitentiary in Youngstown. He is being denied access to the email and phone kiosk, accused of some pretty ridiculous things by a competing Imam, Imam S. Ishmael.
In response, Hasan and other muslim prisoners have gone on hunger strike.
From Lucasville Amnesty
The Free Ohio Movement has come to Hasanâs aid, âIt is important that we stand up to this repression and terror-baiting as soon as it rears itâs head,â says Tahiyrah Ali.
Tahiyrah and The Free Ohio Movement are requesting supporters call the director of the ODRC, Gary C. Mohr, at 614-752-1150 immediately and daily until the hunger strikerâs demands are met.
âAsk to speak to the Director Mohr and demand that the bogus conduct report against Hasan be dropped and that the Muslim prisoners be allowed real faith services from an imam they can trust.â
Hasanâs attorney Rick Kerger is also investigating the matter. âOur system of locking people up has not and is not working.â He said, âTo capitalize on it through what is effectively slave labor just makes matters worse.â

Aug. 21, 2016, 12:07 p.m.
Syria is standing tall. After five years of bloodshed, five years of the United States and its allies using every dirty trick in the book to overthrow and destroy a sovereign nation, Syria is winning and its enemies are losing. In this episode of Back in the USSR I discuss the heroic anti-imperialist struggle of the Syrian people as well as the dirty tricks and propaganda that have been used against them by their enemies over the last five years.
