Obama Tweets About Global Warming
|
23.5.2013 |
The Moderate Voice |
| This morning I heard that a group of President Obama’s supporters are doing tweets to “Call Out the Climate Change Deniers.” An excellent project in my view but… What had me gnashing my teeth was the report went on to describe the effort as difficult in political terms because it was framed as Climate Change [...] |

Terracide and the terrarists
(Cached)

23.5.2013 |
Le Monde Diplomatique |
We have a word for the conscious slaughter of a racial or ethnic group: genocide. And one for the conscious destruction of aspects of the environment: ecocide. But we don't have a word for the conscious act of destroying the planet we live on, the world as humanity had known it until, historically speaking, late last night. A possibility might be “terracide” from the Latin word for earth. It has the right ring, given its similarity to the commonplace danger word of our era: terrorist.

How to Make Staggering Amounts of Money and Ruin the Planet
|
23.5.2013 |
Mother Jones |
| This story first appeared on the TomDispatch website.
We have a word for the conscious slaughter of a racial or ethnic group: genocide. And one for the conscious destruction of aspects of the environment: ecocide. But we don't have a word for the conscious act of destroying the planet we live on, the world as humanity had known it until, historically speaking, late last night. A possibility might be "terracide" from the Latin word for earth. It has the right ring, given its similarity to the commonplace danger word of our era: terrorist.
The truth is, whatever we call them, it's time to talk bluntly about the terrarists of our world. Yes, I know, 9/11 was horrific. Almost 3,000 dead, massive towers down, apocalyptic scenes . And yes, when it comes to terror attacks, the Boston Marathon bombings weren't pretty either. But in both cases, those who committed the acts paid for or will pay for their crimes.
In the case of the terrarists—and here I'm referring in particular to the men who ... |

Addressing land rights can make social change possible
|
23.5.2013 |
The Guardian -- World Latest |
| Through partnerships, development professionals can help improve land governance and ensure more enforceable land rights
What elephant lives in your development space? Last week in Cape Town at Grow Africa's Investment Forum , Rwanda's minister of agriculture and animal resources, Agnes Kalibata, called out the elephant she sees in discussions of African agriculture: land rights.
If you work on food security, climate change, women's empowerment, conflict or economic growth, chances are that you've also encountered the land elephant – the big, complex, disruptive element that frustrates so many development efforts.
Precisely because land is a complex and controversial issue – one that can be expensive to address in addition to being politically and culturally charged – many development professionals have shied away from it. But this is changing.
Greater willingness on the part of governments, donors, civil society, and the private sector to work together and invest to improve land ... |
