Nearly 100 experts on all sides of the solar geoengineering debate gathered to explore responsible research into the emerging climate technology   NEW YORK, NY – Once a fringe topic in the climate community, a solar reflection methods (SRM) educational event hosted by the Chesapeake Climate Action Network (CCAN) convened nearly 100 scientists, policymakers, civil […]

The post Scientists and Skeptics Gathered at Climate Week NYC for Serious Exploration of Solar Geoengineering appeared first on Chesapeake Climate Action Network.

From war and geopolitical fragmentation to food insecurity, energy security and the accelerating climate crisis, this year’s UN General Assembly felt less like a single summit and more like a whistle-stop tour through the fault lines shaping the world.

The post UNGA: A week that laid bare the world’s fault lines, climate crisis all over it appeared first on 350.

Saudi Arabia has spent years trying to build up its Yemeni allies against its main opponent, Ansar Allah. Ansar Allah’s sudden military offensive over the last few weeks shows that this project has been a failure, despite all the money spent on it.

Part of California’s labor movement wants to tax billionaires to save health care for 15 million Californians. Another part, close to Gov. Gavin Newsom, doesn’t — and is promoting suspiciously timed charges of abuse about a pro-tax union leader.

At a Walmart distribution center in Mississauga, Ontario, workers have made history by winning the first-ever union contract with the logistics giant in North America. Their fight has meant pay raises for the company’s workers across Canada.

Having long boasted about putting their own countries’ interests first, Europe’s far-right parties are now slavishly supporting the latest US-Israeli war. While they opt for vassalage, antiwar forces have turned out to be the real defenders of sovereignty.

NY-17: Second in a series on the environmental stakes of one of the nation’s most fiercely contested congressional races. Nancy Vann’s resolve has become the subject of a local jingle. Its chorus goes: “If she can do it, so can we.” Vann, 78, moved to Peekskill, 40 miles north of New York City, after September […]

In a modern five-story building in the center of Hamburg, Germany, technicians are preparing to install several new “racks”—gray metal casings that hold computing hardware—alongside the scores that already line the narrow, dimly lit corridors of the German Climate Computing Center (DKRZ), one of the world’s […]

How the ISA inherited Pierre Frank’s analysis of Bonapartism — while Ted Grant’s own heirs drifted into propagandism

We don’t need to wait around for a potential artificial intelligence catastrophe sometime down the road. We can already see the havoc it’s wreaking across our society right now.

It is fashionable to mock Francis Fukuyama as an uncritical celebrant of neoliberal capitalism. But The End of History offered a powerful analysis of the origins of right-wing populism that has proved prescient in the Donald Trump era.

For migrant workers in India, supply shocks from Trump’s folly in the Strait of Hormuz are causing hunger.

Working people in America are facing a crisis of living standards, Sam Gindin argues, but this has not translated into a crisis for the capitalist system. To challenge ruling class power, the Left still needs to sink deeper roots into the labor movement.

Bulgaria’s Socialist Party survived the end of communism, but in more recent years its neoliberal record and nationalist postures drove it toward defeat. New leader Krum Zarkov told Jacobin how he plans to turn the party toward a renewed socialism.

Earlier this week, President Donald Trump responded to rising public concerns about artificial intelligence with a post on Truth Social. “The same people that said, ‘We’ll all be dead in twelve years because of Global Warming,’ a name since ‘reborn’ to Climate Change, because the Planet was cooling, not warming, and nobody was dead, are […]

Glenda Beal’s roots in lobstering run nearly as deep as her roots in the town that shares her name: Beals Island, Maine.
