Marion Deschamps and Cyril Mychalejko, teleSUR: While many in the climate justice movement acknowledged that this year's climate deal is an improvement from the past, the dire projections from the scientific community about our impending climate catastrophe suggest the deal amounts to too little, too late.

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34024-proposed-house-and-senate-bills-would-roll-back-worker-protections
Rachel Luban, In These Times: After years of legal battles, the H-2B guest-worker program finally acquired official rules in April.

http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34022-does-clinton-really-oppose-tpp-there-is-a-test-for-that
Dave Johnson, Campaign for America's Future: What is Hillary Clinton willing to actually do to stop the Trans-Pacific Partnership? If she means what she is saying about reversing inequality, unrigging the system and restoring the path to a middle class, the first thing she should be doing is fighting hard to stop this trade deal.

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34029-on-the-news-with-thom-hartmann-the-us-is-on-the-edge-of-another-government-shutdown-and-more

http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34020-don-t-be-a-fossil-foolish-investor
Emily Schwartz Greco, OtherWords: With bankruptcy and debt distress in store next year for the oil and gas industries, according to Fortune, the purely financial case for going fossil-free is getting stronger.

Abby Martin, teleSUR: Dictators and death squad leaders were trained within the gates of Fort Benning, Georgia, at the School of the Americas.

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34026-a-turning-point-for-the-climate-or-a-disaster-michael-brune-vs-george-monbiot-on-the-paris-accord
Amy Goodman, Democracy Now!: Nearly 200 nations agreed in Paris on Saturday to a global accord to rein in rising greenhouse gas emissions.
