COP21: Too Little, Too Late? Temperature, CO2 Thresholds Breached as Climat=
e Disruption Intensifies
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/33756-cop21-too-little-too-late-temperat=
ure-co2-thresholds-breached-as-climate-disruption-intensifies
Dahr Jamail, Truthout: Well in advance of the upcoming COP21 climate confer=
ence, the "safe" global temperature threshold of 2 degrees Celsius, which g=

http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/33759-big-insurance-s-health-care-sca=
m-for-the-holidays
Dean Baker, Truthout: It may be the case that UnitedHealthcare actually is =

w threatening to leave the exchanges in the hope of getting more favorable =
regulation.

http://www.truth-out.org/progressivepicks/item/33766-the-feminist-utopia-pr=

berties
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/33750-the-post-paris-war-on-encryption-i=
s-an-opportunistic-attack-on-our-civil-liberties
Dan Massoglia, Truthout: The feds have had it out for encryption for decade=

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/33757-hang-onto-your-wallets-negative-in=
terest-the-war-on-cash-and-the-10-trillion-bail-in
Ellen Brown, The Web of Debt Blog: In uncertain times, "cash is king," but =
central bankers are systematically moving to eliminate that option. Is it r=
eally about stimulating the economy? Or is there some deeper, darker threat=
afoot?
Brussels Is Under High Security Alert, but Will Europe Address Muslims in "=
Marginalized Ghettos"?
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/33765-brussels-is-under-high-security-al=
ert-but-will-europe-address-muslims-in-marginalized-ghettos

Katherine Paul, AlterNet: While we waited for the US Environmental Protecti=

A's counterpart in the European Union made its own big announcement.
Silk Roads, Night Trains and the Third Industrial Revolution in China
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/33762-silk-roads-night-trains-and-the-th=
ird-industrial-revolution-in-china
Pepe Escobar, TomDispatch: China has a dream that its leaders are actually =
happy to promote, and it's not a warlike one that highlights an ever more h=
eavily militarized world. That in itself should count for something. It's a=
dream of full-time construction across Eurasia.
Cutting Through the Helplessness of the Refugee Crisis
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/33760-cutting-through-the-helplessnes=
s-of-the-refugee-crisis
Frida Berrigan, Waging Nonviolence: I have watched the refugee crisis ebb a=
nd flow across my daily newspaper, mostly just shaking my head and feeling =
disconnected and helpless. Perhaps, we should look to what others around th=
