Assessments, meta-analyses, discussion and peer review
by Judith Curry
There is an unfortunate knowledge monopoly in climate science and policy – the IPCC and UNFCCC. As a result there is insufficient intellectual and political diversity in assessments about climate change. To break this monopoly, we need identify new frameworks for encouraging, publishing and publicizing independent and interdisciplinary ideas and assessments. -

Fantasy Politics – ‘Corbyn’s Morons’ And The ‘Sensible Approach’
Like Blair and the rest of the establishment, the Guardian and other corporate media claim their motivation is to preserve Labour's electability, rather than to attack any and all politics that stray off the 'centrist', 'modernising' path. In reality, it could hardly be more obvious that this collection of profit-seeking, corporate enterprises – grandly and laughably proclaiming themselves 'the free press' - is opposing a threat to their private and class interests.

3 Ways Banned Trans Fats are Still Lurking in Your Food
Last month, the FDA ruled that trans fats are not “generally recognized as safe” for use in human food and gave manufacturers three years to remove them. Companies have been required to list trans fat content on their products since 2006, and while many consumers are happy to see “Trans fats 0 grams per serving” on food labels, that doesn’t mean the product doesn’t contain any partially hydrogenated oils (PHOs). This is one way trans fats are still lurking in your food. [1]

Beyond Extinction Transition to post-capitalism is inevitable
Perhaps the biggest takeaway from these warning signs is what they tell us about the need not simply for ‘change’, but for fundamental systemic transformation. The science of impending doom does not prove the inevitability of human extinction, but it does prove the inevitability of something else: the extinction of industrial civilisation in its current form.

Reactions to news that Pollard the traitor will go free
Editor’s Note: the following reactions were collected from comments from readers of the liberal-Zionist New York Times. I would guess that the comments are representative of about 70% of the total received and published by the Times.

Hence, outside the confines of the circles of ignorance in the USA (Right wing Churches and their pulpit buffoons located mainly in the Talmud-belt, i.e.

Labour’s Ultra-Right Chuka Their Toys Out The Pram
The 35 MPs who nominated Corbyn are ‘morons’ according to New Labour-era apparatchik John McTernan – basic underlying argument: you can’t actually give voters a choice, because then they might choose the wrong one. You can’t let a candidate who vaguely represents the reasons people join the Labour Party slip into the contest – because we don’t represent those views, and have built entire careers around leading a group of people we fundamentally disagree with.
