We look at the Green Recovery stimulus in Europe v countries leading the recovery with more climate changing fossil fuels. The Europeans and NZ are leading the way with massive thermal retrofits for social and private housing.https://www.vivideconomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/200605-Green-Stimulus-Index-1.pdf The most exhilarating voice is a Year 9 student, Daisy Millpark, who tells us how the students are informing themselves beyond the classroom. She has talked to First Nations people and Nurses Association members on the frontlines of climate change. Hearing their experiences she is confronted by the fact climate change is taking lives. She says that activism can be draining but they are not backing down because of COVID. There is an online rally phone jamming the government at every level.Please keep FRiday 25th September join in.

Penny Howard tells us why the MUA is actually on the front foot even through many of their members are employed shipping coal , oil and gas or supplying off shoregas wells. They are proud of getting the ball rolling on the jobs of the future and making the transition. They want to look the students in the eye and say we support you. Also the climate movement need to know how the jobs of the future need to be good quality, well protected jobs not like Tony Abbot's Green Army paid less than the minimum wage.We talk about zero carbon ships on the horizon. Could we manufacture them here? Penny describes low carbon jobs that reduce emissions from our economy taking care of people instead of damaging them. Her message to the students is that we have to keep organising, despite the pandemic.

Green New Deals are taking many countries in the direction of transition. We will actually save money with lower fuel bills, more comfortable housing, less health impacts if we can get away from the carbon club."It would provide few jobs and would not bring down energy prices. There are many electrical alternatives to gas for manufacturing that are far cheaper than gas. Covid 19 recovery spending provides a once in a generation opportunity to electrify our manufacturing industry to permanently reduce energy costs. Locking in gas for manufacturing on the basis of a temporary fall in prices will undermine Australian manufacturing for decades to come."Carbon BriefComparison of national relief plans with EU leading on green recovery and laggard who stimulhttps://www.carbonbrief.org/coronavirus-tracking-how-the-worlds-green-recovery-plans-aim-to-cut-emissions
I once heard Steve Colbert ask, "What do you think happens when we die, Keanu Reeves? To which, after a deep exhale he replies, " I know that the ones who love us will miss us."
Greg Lukianoff says our culture is "Unlearning Liberty"...way too PC to sustain our freedom. A May Iowa blizzard is pushing us around. And Al Lewis says health screening and wellness programs are an expensive and unnecessary waste of money...plus, dangerous to your health. Huh? Then, Steve Colbert blows the whistle on an Iowa Hospital which deported an expensive illegal alien patient. Boom!
SUSAN JACOBY – "THE AGE OF AMERICAN UNREASON" American 15-year-olds rank 24th out of 29 countries in mathematical literacy. Americans are as likely to believe in flying saucers as in evolution. Depending on how the questions are asked, roughly 30-40 % of Americans believe in each. A 34-nation study found Americans less likely to believe in evolution than citizens of any of the countries polled except Turkey, and President George Bush says “the jury is still out.” in the summer of 2005 nearly two-thirds of Americans told pollsters that they believed creationism should be taught in schools alongside Darwinian evolution. Steve Colbert interviewed Georgia Rep. Lynn Westmoreland on "The Colbert Report." Westmoreland co-sponsored a bill that would require the display of the Ten Commandments in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, but, when asked, couldn't actually list the commandments. This stuff would be funny if it weren’t so tragic or dangerous. According to the Program on International Policy Attitudes, University of Maryland, among Bush supporters in the 2004 election, nearly 70% believed the U.S. had "clear evidence" that Saddam Hussein was working closely with Al Qaeda, a third believed weapons of mass destruction were found in Iraq, and more than a third that a substantial majority of world opinion supported the U.S.-led invasion. We can assume they were similarly uninformed about who benefits from Bush tax cuts, and the success or meaning of No Child Left Behind, Clear Skies, Healthy Forests, the Medicare prescription benefit, etc.? I believe there has been a concerted effort on the part of political and cultural advocates to encourage misinformation and the ignoring of evidence. In addition, their labeling of “intelligent” and “informed” as “elite” and “effete” implies that ignorance is somehow both valuable and under attack. I also believe that to ignore evidence – scientific as well as simply factual -- is primitive, pathological, suicidal, and an unfit way to run the world. Susan Jacoby has written a book about this -- THE AGE OF AMERICAN UNREASON. A former reporter for the Washington Post and program director of the Center for Inquiry-New York City, Susan Jacoby, is the author of five books, including WILD JUSTICE, a Pulitzer Prize finalist. and FREETHINKERS: A HISTORY OF AMERICAN SECULARISM. Her political blog, The Secularist’s Corner is on the Web site of The Washington Post. http://www.susanjacoby.com
