The Melting Arctic's Dramatic Impact on Global Weather Patterns
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34276-the-melting-arctic-s-dramatic-impact-on-global-weather-patterns
Dahr Jamail, Truthout: As climate disruption progresses, sea and land ice in the Arctic are melting at a record pace, and Arctic temperatures are rising two to three times faster than the rest of the planet. Arctic warming is irrevocably changing planetary weather, and several leading scientists warn of dire impacts.
Another Reason Economists Don't Know Much About the Economy: The Story of the Robots
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34269-another-reason-economists-don-t-know-much-about-the-economy-the-story-of-the-robots
Dean Baker, Truthout: It's not surprising to find economists spinning tales of robots and the development of technology that don't make sense. An often-repeated story is that technology is displacing jobs that had paid a middle-class wage. There is both a small and big problem with this story.
With Suu Kyi Barred From Assuming Presidency, Democracy Has Not Arrived in Burma
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34278-with-suu-kyi-barred-from-assuming-presidency-democracy-has-not-arrived-in-burma
Robert Weiner and Ben Lasky, Truthout: Declarations of democratic progress by the national media in Burma following the opposition's recent electoral victory are premature. When a party wins an overwhelming two-thirds majority victory, but its leader is still denied the presidency, the election cannot be considered free or fair.
The Potential of Debtors' Unions
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34267-the-potential-of-debtors-unions
Laura Hanna, Alessondra Shackleton, Ann Larson, Hannah Appel and Luke Herrine, ROAR Magazine: If financial markets are political, how can we contest them and their effects? What do civil disobedience and collective power look like in the age of finance? The Debt Collective is attempting to answer these questions by piloting a new kind of organization: a debtors' union.
Climate Change-Induced Floods Hammer Britain as Tories Approve New Fracking Law
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34271-climate-change-induced-floods-hammer-britain-as-tories-approve-new-fracking-law
Gabrielle Pickard-Whitehead, Occupy.com: As calls to ramp up efforts to tackle climate change become markedly urgent in the UK, the Conservatives' commitment to favor shale gas extraction - despite intense opposition from environmental groups - is evident in a shocking new fracking law recently passed in the UK.
As Saudi Arabia Executes Sheikh al-Nimr, Will US Respond by Cutting $50 Billion in Weapons Sales?
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34277-as-saudi-arabia-executes-sheikh-al-nimr-will-us-respond-by-cutting-50-billion-in-weapons-sales
Amy Goodman, Democracy Now!: After Saudi Arabia executed Shiite cleric Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr on Saturday along with 46 others, protesters in the Iranian capital of Tehran responded by torching part of the Saudi Embassy. Saudi Arabia responded by severing ties with Iran. Will the US make any moves to distance itself from Saudi Arabia?
New Mexico Starts the New Year With a Bill to Discriminate Against LGBT People
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34273-new-mexico-starts-the-new-year-with-a-bill-to-discriminate-against-lgbts
Steve Williams, Care2: New Mexico Republicans have proposed a bill that could grant businesses a right to discriminate against LGBT people. The legislation may seem like a restatement of the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act, but advocates say the bill appears to gut the New Mexico Human Rights Act.
The GOP's Pro-Corporate Prescription
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34272-the-gop-s-pro-corporate-prescription
Richard Kirsch, OtherWords: In a year-end tax package, Republicans led the charge for extending corporate tax breaks. Democrats, meanwhile, pushed for boosting tax credits for low-wage workers and people with children. Tax credits for working families are a better deal than corporate tax breaks.
Celebrating 22 Years of Zapatismo
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34270-celebrating-22-years-of-zapatismo
Hilary Klein, teleSUR: January 1 marked the 22nd anniversary of the Zapatista uprising and more than 30 years since the formation of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN). In 1994, the EZLN rose up to demand justice and democracy for the Indigenous farmers of southern Mexico.
Ten Good Things About the Not-So-Great Year 2015
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34268-ten-good-things-about-the-not-so-great-year-2015
Medea Benjamin, Foreign Policy in Focus: It would be easy to do a piece about 10 horrible events from 2015 - from the ongoing war in Syria and the refugee crisis to numerous terrorist attacks. But that wouldn't be an inspiring way to bid farewell to last year and usher in this one.
On the News With Thom Hartmann: Emerging Trends Show "Citizens United" Ruling to Be Disastrous, and More
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34279-on-the-news-with-thom-hartmann-emerging-trends-show-citizens-united-ruling-to-be-disastrous-and-more
In today's On the News segment: In the five years since the Citizens United decision was made, some alarming trends have emerged; here in the US, we're known for working hard, but some of us may be working ourselves right into an early grave; most lawmakers refuse to fight for single-payer health care, but most voters say that they should; and more.
