CIVILIANISM PODCAST

To Civilianism listeners, please pardon the interruption.

I am introducing Futurism Now.

This is the introductory episode of a new podcast. My interests have been moving in this direction for a long time. Futurism Now is a completely new, separate podcast that I am promoting here at Civilianism.

You can subscribe to Futurism Now at the Futurism Now podcast website. What is it? Futurism now is about climate change, energy, science, politics and legislation to get us moving on climate change, and more. Articles and the daily blog can be found here.

The introduction asks the question: Is there a consensus on climate change among climate scientists? Yes, there is. We are past debate. It’s time for action.

Support Action on Climate Change! Call your Congressmen and Senators and tell them you support their action on climate change and that they need to increase their support for clean energy — wind and solar, not the non-existent “clean coal” or natural gas, which is another fossil fuel.

Audio is played from new Energy Secretary Steven Chu from last summer, speaking at UC Berkeley, and from NASA climate scientist James Hansen on climate change and what has to be done.

Introduced on 11/20/08 — This is the first resolution urging President Bush not to pardon senior administration officials for crimes the President authorized. It urges Congress to investigate those crimes and any pardons relating to those crimes, and urges the Attorney General (current or future) to appoint an Independent Counsel to prosecute those crimes.

Safe Climate or Endless War? It’s a choice we will have to make soon, because we can’t fight climate change smartly and terrorism militarily at the same time.
