http://truth-out.org/news/item/20751-climate-change-2013-where-we-are-now-not-what-you-think
Bruce Melton, Truthout:
To prevent increasingly dangerous climate change, the public and our leaders must be convinced to act decisively and robustly. As the latest data show, changes are occurring more quickly than scientists have ever predicted, and simple emissions reductions are no longer the answer.
Year-End Legislation Could Close National Security Loophole, Protect Government Whistleblowers
http://truth-out.org/news/item/20813-year-end-legislation-could-close-national-security-loophole-protect-government-whistleblowers
Candice Bernd, Truthout:

http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/20750-dirtyest-oil-why-in-situ-bitumen-extraction-is-dangerous-for-canada-the-world
Harrison Samphir, Truthout:
The Primrose leak contamination of wetlands, forests and the traditional lands of the Beaver Lake Cree and Cold Lake First Nations demonstrates the dangers of in situ bitumen extraction, but also of Canada's current abusive energy and First Nations policies.

Eleanor J. Bader, Truthout:
Devorah Heitner's new book, Black Power TV, describes the pioneering journalists who attempted to provide adequate media representation of African-Americans and made inroads in transforming television from a site of oppression and exclusion to a site for liberation.
Edward Snowden, Person of the Year
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/20848-person-of-the-year
Eugene Robinson, Washington Post Writers Group:
There are really just two possible choices for person of the year. The spiritual leader of 1.2 billion Roman Catholics and a whistleblowing fugitive from American justice have just one thing in common: impact.
Economic Update: There Are Alternatives
http://truth-out.org/news/item/20856-economic-update-there-are-alternatives
Richard D. Wolff, Economic Update/Truthout:
Updates on dangers in anti-bacterial soap, South African union starting socialist party, Germans retiring abroad, billionaires' whims shaping health care.

Laura Flanders, GRITtv:
Joo-Hyun Kang, director of Communities United for Police Reform, says, "Safety doesn't have to be at the cost of respect and dignity. Our job as activists is to make sure that (Bill de Blasio's promise of change) doesn't turn into just something for a campaign."

http://truth-out.org/news/item/20857-how-do-you-end-homelessness-if-youre-this-state-you-offer-people-homes
Robin Marty, Care2:
For years, Utah has addressed its homeless problem simply by offering apartments to those who lack a home, worrying about the details of the exchange later. The plan, called Housing First, was launched by then Gov. Jon Huntsman and started providing apartments to the homeless in 2005.
Why Charter Schools Are Foolish Investments for States Facing Economic Challenges
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/20862-why-charter-schools-are-foolish-investments-for-states-facing-economic-challenges
Paul Thomas, AlterNet:

Realizations From Killing and Eating an Animal We Raised Ourselves
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/20859-realizations-from-killing-and-eating-an-animal-we-raised-ourselves
Aaron and Susan von Frank, Tyrant Farms Blog: "The way we used to source our meat had the same desensitizing effect that many people in our society have developed toward violence. Those aren't 'real' animals we're buying and eating; they're cheap chunks of protein."

http://www.truth-out.org/buzzflash/commentary/item/18387-new-revelation-that-attorney-general-eric-holder-is-protecting-jpmorgan-chase-nyc-from-criminal-investigation
Mark Karlin, BuzzFlash at Truthout: Eric Holder is holding true to his congressional testimony last year that prosecuting banks too big to fail could hurt the economy. The reality is that not holding them criminally responsible destroys financial integrity and ends up in taxpayer bailouts.
