Planet Tahrir: The Coming Mass Demonstrations against Climate Change (Klare)
Michael T. Klare writes at Tomdispatch.com: A week after the most powerful “super typhoon” ever recorded pummeled the Philippines, killing thousands in a single province, and three weeks after the northern Chinese city of Harbin suffered a devastating “airpocalypse,” suffocating the city with coal-plant pollution, government leaders beware! Although individual events like these cannot be […]
