Permafrost Melt Soon Irreversible
Without Major Fossil Fuel Cuts
By Stephen Leahy
http://www.countercurrents.org/leahy210911.htm
Thawing permafrost is threatening to overwhelm attempts to keep the planet from getting too hot for human survival. Without major reductions in the use of fossil fuels, as much as two-thirds of the world's gigantic storehouse of frozen carbon could be released, a new study reported. That would push global temperatures several degrees higher, making large parts of the planet uninhabitable

The Veto And The Case For Impeaching President Obama
By Alan Hart
http://www.countercurrents.org/hart210211.htm
Never before has an American President's fear of offending the Zionist lobby and its stooges in Congress been so exposed as it was by Obama's decision to veto the Security Council resolution condemning continued, illegal Israeli settlement activities on the occupied West Bank and demanding that Israel "immediately and completely cease" all such activities. In a different America – an informed America – some might think, I do, that Obama should be impeached. The charge? TREASON

Let's admit it, the country has been stolen. We thought we had used the democratic process to rid our country of George W.

U.S. Veto: Speaking With Forked-tongue
By Jim Miles
http://www.countercurrents.org/miles210211.htm
The U.S. has continually used its forked tongue for its own benefit in any "negotiations" it has carried out.

It continues today with its UN rhetoric and with its rhetoric about its concerns for Palestine and Israel

By Jeremy R. Hammond

Hammond, the predominant view regarding the creation of Israel, which lies at the core of the so-called Israeli-Palestinian conflict, is no exception. He renders a detailed account of a manipulation, injustice and UN failure to abide by its own rules, which have wreaked political turmoil and humanitarian catastrophe in the Middle East region for more than sixty years
