A recent emergency shutdown of one of Indian Point's nuclear reactors, just miles from New York City, highlights the risks the aging plant poses for some 15 million area residents as well as the political power of the nuclear industry to keep such plants operation, writes TCBH! contributor Paul DeRienzo
Animal abuse is only part of Tyson's abusive track record. There is also worker and environmental abuse, abuse of consumers through risky products and charges of wrongdoing at the state and federal level.
"Mission Accomplished?" Amid failure after failure for President Obama's 'legacy' policies, Americans can rest assured that the "historic" signing of today's climate accord will be spun in its most positive, "see, I saved the world from its greatest threat" awesomeness, despite, as we detailed earlier, the utter farce of it all.
Great news! The "greatest threat to future generations of the world" has apparently been solved. World leaders Saturday adopted an historic international climate accord in Paris, the first-ever agreement to commit almost every country to fight climate change. However, as we knew all along and just got confirmation, the 31-page pact does not have binding language or a mechanism to force countries to live up to the promises to cut greenhouse gases emissions or provide money for developing and poor nations to cope with the effects of global warming.
Will the Global Warming talks in Paris produce fruit? Yes, if they realize that fruit, veggies, and grain are more important to curb global warming, to ensure better health for us, and not least of all- to hopefully open the doors of the cruel factory farms and let the animals out to live and breathe as we do.
