Amazon Crime And Other Tales of Billionaire Lying from the Data Center Wars | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Return with me now to the thrilling days of yesteryear. In 2020, Jeff Bezos announced that Amazon had paid a few hundred million dollars for the naming rights to the new hockey rink in Seattle. But instead of calling it Amazon Arena, he instead decided to commemorate his recent signature on a pledge to go carbon neutral. The name Climate Pledge Arena, if not as mellifluous as Wrigley Field or Candlestick Park, was intended, he said in an Instagram post, to be a regular reminder of the urgent nee
It’s Existential Crises Week! | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Thanks to y’all, I’m in New York City for the annual “climate week” that overlaps with the UN General Assembly meeting. For many years, diplomats, entrepreneurs, advocates, and the occasional scientist have gathered for a series of seminars, panels, backroom talks, and —well, lotsa words. It’s of course somewhat anachronistic to be gathering in the country busily trying to warm the planet, but that’s happened before; what’s new this time is a sense that there’s now another existential crisis hor
We Can’t Undo Climate Overshoot. We Can Still Limit It | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This will be an account of where we stand—mostly with regard to the new and much-touted UN report on climate change. But since it’s Labor Day, traditionally the start of fall campaigning (a quaint and lovely notion that), let’s start with the midterm elections. Where we stand is: all the polling shows Americans ready to vote out as many Republicans as gerrymandering allows. We’ve done our job over the last 22 months, driving up Trump’s negatives (with plenty of help from him) and making MAGA ele
Two Men: One as great as America ever produced, and the other Elon Musk | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Wendell Berry, who died yesterday at the age of 92, was such a great man that I hardly know where to start. He was on the very short list of the best writers of our time: his essays on rural America were the words that launched ten thousand farmers markets; his poems, the staple of many happy weddings (and I’ve peed in a dozen different bathrooms where the Manifesto of the Mad Farmer’s Liberation Front was framed above the toilet). If you’ve never read his short stories of the Port William Membe
The growing rumble: Politics–alas–is what we need | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s been harder than usual for me to write these past few days, and that’s because the glacier collapse and subsequent calamity along the Tibet-Nepal border hit very hard. As it happens, I’ve stood in that border crossing where you’ve watched the giant wave obliterate…everything in a split second. I’d spent weeks in the high, dry, cold of Buddhist Tibet, and then crossed into the lush humid chaos of Hindu Nepal, and so I can summon up some sense of what it must have been like, and of the people
