Writings of J. Todd Ring: Greenwash, Lithium & Eco-Fascism
Proved: Greenwash Is Ecoterrorism, Eco-Fascism – and High-Tech, Neo-Feudal “Green” Imperialism Indigenous cultures in the “lithium triangle” of Chile, Argentina and Bolivia are being robbed, subjugated, poisoned and plundered, to make Teslas and cell phones. Corporate-state violence is the continuing norm, in response. Welcome to “Green” Imperialism. Cell phones, tablets,

Tuesday, according to the United Nations, was eight billion day, i.e. the world’s population was projected to reach eight billion souls on November 15th. Even if you like people, and my views on that are mixed, that’s a hell of a lot. In fact, it’s too many. And that’s not

The planet Earth has a problem—a bad case of advanced-stage humanity. It is much more virulent and far more dangerous than a mere coronavirus, which threatens only a few species. Advanced-stage humanity threatens all species, indeed all life on the planet except perhaps those microbes that live in the darkest,

I’ve long thought that the sensible approach to the global economy is obvious, if complex. We calculate what the Earth can sustainably provide in terms of natural resources, then we set our economic demands at something less including a substantial safety factor. The total demand is then equitably shared by

I consider myself fortunate beyond words for my opportunity to experience life on this planet. I am here for a mere moment in the vast expanse of both time and space, but what a moment. Not only to experience the universe but more particularly the pleasure of appreciating the infinite

As our burgeoning demands on the Earth continue to overshoot its capacity to renew resources, it’s time for a serious rethink, argues David Suzuki. Basically, we’re “using up the biological capital that should be our children’s legacy.” The post We only have one Earth, and we’re overshooting its capacity appeared

LeDaro: We are not alone in this universe
“Discovered by the Kepler Telescope, NASA says it’s the first small, rocky planet discovered in the habitable zone of a G star similar to our sun.”_ NBC This planet is much bigger than earth. I understand that there are billions of earth-like planets in the known universe according to scientists.

And Australian conservatives may just destroy Earth. What we don’t know, could demolish us faster than anything else. In the space age, it’s really flabbergasting that we’re not doing everything technologically possible to watch for NEOs. Could a responsible country like South Africa, or New Zealand pick up the slack

Are you shy about having your photo taken? What if you’ll be an indistinguishable smudge on a pale blue dot, then are you still shy? If so, don’t go outside tomorrow. NASA is hyping the fun occasion of Earth being imaged from the outer solar system for only the third

Last night I watched a documentary on the CBC. The documentary pointed out that life on earth could be wiped out by one big asteroid hitting our planet. However, it was the asteroids and comets that brought water to the earth. In the past scientists thought that water already existed

Shocking, exciting news from Russia early this morning as coincidentally [maybe] on the same day a major 50m asteroid is set to fly by Earth, a meteorite has struck Russia. Reports are that there are injuries, which have been very rare for meteorite impacts until now. The camera person nearly

This is where we come from and what we are doing. It’s not nice, it is mindboggingly stupid. Maybe it all just boils down to brain chemistry, one insanely little microscopic flaw that prevents us from really seeing anything at all…
