textCalifornia's Most Unhappy Cows: The Dairy Industry and the Labor of Reproduction by Jason Hribal, Counterpunch (reposted)

Where I remembered grass fields with horses and cows, there was now gas stations, convenience stores, and large expensive homes. By the late 1990s, even the distant foot-hills had become covered with constru...

On Saturday, March 31st I happened to be listening to KQED when they aired a debate by the organization Intelligence Squared on the motion “Global Warming is Not a Crisis.” The "debate" set as a reference frame that global warming is not a crisis and then had climate scientists debate a popular novel writer, Michael Crichton, to argue that it was a crisis. The moderator brought up misleading evidence of past "scientific" fads like a news media hype briefly in the late 70s that the world was c...
