Since the mid-18th century, human activity—mainly fossil fuel burning—has increased the atmospheric concentration of CO2 by about 40 percent. Because oceans absorb about a quarter of the CO2 released into the atmosphere each year, as more CO2 enters the atmosphere, more ends up in the ocean. “Think of carbon as a global pollutant that affects the ocean everywhere it touches the sky,” explains Stanford University marine science professor and Hopkins Marine Station director Steve Palumbi. As CO2 dissolves in seawater, chemical reactions produce an acid. Over the past 250 or so years, the acidity of the world’s oceans has increased 30 percent. Scientists believe oceans have not experienced the current level of acidity in about 2 million years. ..” http://ensia.com/features/what-does-ocean-acidification-mean-for-sea-life/ VIA 'Occupy the EPA': https://www.facebook.com/OccupyEPA?fref=tshttp://www.twitpic.com/c3i91c
#union #iww #ows #occupy #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot Viewpoint: The Decline of Unions Is Your Problem Too http://ideas.time.com/2013/01/29/viewpoint-why-the-decline-of-unions-is-your-problem-too/ Last week came news that the share of America’s workforce that’s unionized hit a 97-year low. A mere 11.3% of workers now belong to a union, and a great chunk of those are in the shrinking public sector. In the private sector, unionization fell to an abysmal 6.6%, down from a peak of 35% during the 1950s. Most Americans yawned at this news. On one level that’s understandable. After all, most Americans aren’t in a union. It’s a vicious cycle: as unions decline, fewer people see their fates as bound up with unions, which just accelerates the decline. But on another level, America’s non-reaction is striking. We rem…http://www.twitpic.com/bzejik

Four years ago, the rate of black voter turnout almost equaled that of whites, continuing a trend of a steady increase in black turnout rates that began in 1996. This year, with white turnout appearing to have dropped, black turnout seems very likely to have exceeded the white level, although definitive figures won’t be available until the Census Bureau reports in a few …http://www.twitpic.com/bpznw1
#union #iww #ows #p2 #tlot #tcot Pepe Mujica speech in Rio: The speech is already considering historical TRANSLATED FROM SPANISH BY GOOGLE TRANSLATOR Mujica spoke to an audience of leaders who listened reluctantly brutal truths told, recent speech to days, the international media and the world begin to take into account that it was a simple speech Uruguayan president said. Authorities present in all the latitudes and agencies, thank you very much. Thank you very much to the people of Brazil and its President, Dilma Rousseff. Also thank you very much, good faith they have shown all the previous speakers. We express the intimate as rulers will support all agreements, this, our poor humanity may subscribe. However, let us ask some questions aloud. All afternoon there has been talk of sustainable development. Removing the immense masses of poverty. What that flutters in our heads? Does the development model and we want to use the current rich societies? I ask this question: what would happen to this planet if the Hindus had the same ratio of cars per family with the Germans? We would much oxygen to breathe? Lighter: does the world as material elements to enable 7000 to 8 billion people can have the same level of consumption and waste that have the most affluent Western societies? Is that possible? Or do we have to give another type of discussion? We created this civilization where we are today: market daughter, daughter of competition and that has brought progress portentous and explosive materials. But the market economy has created market societies. And this has brought us globalization, whose gaze reaches the entire planet. Are we ruling this globalization or she governs us us? Is it possible to speak of solidarity and that “we are all together” in an economy based on ruthless competition? How far does our brotherhood? I'm not saying any of this to deny the importance of this event. On the contrary: the challenge ahead is colossal magnitude of nature and the great crisis we have is not green, is political. The man does not govern the forces today unleashed, it has unleashed forces that govern man. And to life. We do not come to the planet to develop just as well, in general. We come into the world to be happy. Because life is short and we will. And no life is worth as. This is elementary. But life is going to escape me, working and working to consume a “plus” and the consumer society is the engine of this. Because, ultimately, if consumption is paralyzed, the economy stops, and if the economy stops, the ghost of stagnation for each of us. But that is the hyper consumption that is “attacking” the planet. And they have to generate that hyper consumption, something that last little things, because you have to sell a lot. And an electric bulb, then, can not last more than 1000 hours on. But there are bulbs that can last 100,000 hours on! But these do not, can not, because the problem is the market, because we have to work and we have to sustain a civilization of “use and throw”, and so we are in a vicious circle. These are political issues. We are saying that it's time to start fighting for another culture. Do not ask about the return to the days of the caveman, or having a “monument to late.” But we can not continue indefinitely, governed by the market, “But we have to rule the market.” So I say, in my humble way of thinking, that the problem we have is political. The old thinkers-Epicurus, Seneca and the Aymara-defined “is not the poor who have little but which requires infinitely long”. And more and more. “This is a key cultural” So I salute the efforts and arrangements to be made. And I will accompany, as ruler. I know some things I'm saying “grind”. But we have to realize that the water crisis and aggression to the environment is not the cause. The cause is the model of civilization that we have assembled. And we have to look at is how we live. I belong to a small country well endowed with natural resources to live. In my country there are just over 3 million. But there are about 13 million cows, the best in the world. And about 8 or 10 million sheep great. My country is an exporter of food, dairy, meat. It is a peneplain and almost 90% of its territory is profitable. My fellow workers fought hard for 8 hours of work. And now they are getting 6 hours. But having six hours, you get two jobs, therefore, work more than before. Why? Because you have to pay a number of things: the bike, the car, fees and assessments and when you want to agree, is an old man who lost his life. And one asks this question: that is the fate of human life? Do you only consume? These things I say are very basic: no development can be against happiness. It has to be in favor of human happiness, the love of the land, care of the children, with friends. “And having, yes, the elemental” Precisely because it is the most important treasure we have. When we fight for the environment, we must remember that the first element of the environment is called “human happiness”http://www.twitpic.com/bpyir0
