TPP

dimanche 14 juin 2015 à 14:00

The TPP would especially hurt American women. It may also make medicines, without which many people will die, a lot more expensive. We can't tell.

Global heating effects

dimanche 14 juin 2015 à 14:00

Global heating weather effects are already damaging children's health in Australia, and the problem will get a lot worse.

I presume this is true to of parts of the US as well, but I can't be sure.

This is not even considering the effects that heating-provoked wars around the world may have.

Detroit and heating

Detroit is going to be hit especially hard by global heating's extreme weather.

A UK oil company funded bribes to get Africans to drop their opposition to oil extraction in Virunga national park.

Elsevier

dimanche 14 juin 2015 à 14:00

Condemning Elsevier's latest attack on libre scientific publishing.

When the weak resist arrogant power, they have no obligation to treat all arrogant powerful entities alike. It makes sense to single out Elsevier for a boycott.

Thus, I suggest to scientists, when asked to review an article in an Elsevier journal, that you respond by telling the editors that you won't do this for Elsevier. You can say it's nothing personal but you think that aiding Elsevier is bad for science.

Elsevier is also trying to shut down sites that provide access to scholarly articles.

Please do not use the smear term "pirate" to describe the sharing forbidden by companies such as Elsevier.
