Technology and business are ready to eliminate fossil fuels, more or less. The main obstacle is the power of the carbon lobby, which operates through manufacture of doubt based on the power of plutocracy.

We must destroy the falsehood-industrial complex before it destroys civilization and most species on Earth.

When the carbon bubble bursts, it will cause a financial crash. But the longer that waits, the bigger the crash will be. Putting this off is much worse than postponing the visit to the dentist, which is only likely to make you lose a tooth or two. It's like postponing the checkup for cancer.

Roy Schestowitz reports being censored ("shadowbanned") by Twitter for posting about Twitter censorship.

This kind of censorship is not obvious to the one being censored.

The Republican Party is the party of Scrooge: the poor deserve whatever harm the rich do to them, because it's their own fault for being left standing in the endless game of musical chairs.

The party of political Hinduism won the election in India's largest state (Uttar Pradesh), and its state leader calls for repression of Muslims.

That party, the BJP, was associated with a massacre of Muslims in the state of Gujarat. Indeed, Prime Minister Modi was directly associated with that. I fear we will see repression and massacre in Uttar Pradesh.

The troll and his agents are already preparing "emergency" attacks against civil liberties, to take advantage of the next opportunity provided by a terrorist attack whose perpetrator isn't a right-wing bigot.
